(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = “The team called LG was a team with fans’ enthusiasm and shouts.”
Yang Jun-seok (21·180 cm), the main character of the 2022 professional basketball rookie overall, was delighted to have joined the team that best matched him at a press conference after his nomination held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 27th.
Changwon LG, led by director Jo Sang-hyun, appointed Yonsei University guard Yang Jun-seok.
Yang Jun-seok said, “It’s a team with Lee Jae-do and Lee Kwan-hee, the representative guards of the KBL. We will learn by bumping into each other a lot.”
He said, “I want to work well with my brothers and make it to the playoffs this season.” LG finished 7th in the regular league last season and unfortunately did not advance to the semi-final PO.
Yang Jun-seok, who is evaluated as the best point guard in college, is considered to be his greatest strength during the game, along with shooting and ball handling.
Since his freshman year, he was recognized for his skills by earning time to compete even among prominent school seniors such as Park Ji-won (kt) and Lee Jeong-hyeon (Carrot).

From last year, a sophomore, he and Lee Jung-hyun formed the backcourt of Yonsei University and led the team.
In May and June of last year, he played against Korea University, which is considered to be the strongest power in the university, and played an active role with 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 15 points and 7 rebounds, respectively, and announced that he was at the top level.
Yang Jun-seok said, “I think the game management, passing, and shooting are better than other guards.
In fact, unlike other players who shoot near the 3-point line, Yang Jun-seok threw an outer cannon far behind the line in the college league, making it difficult for defenders.
Earlier, on the 20th, after meeting with reporters right after the draft combine held at the KBL Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, he showed confidence, saying, “If I succeed with even three points from a long distance, no coach will stop me. Rather, I will allow it.”
Yang Jun-seok, who is still in his third year of college, declared a professional challenge before graduating.
This is because Yang Jun-seok, who was unable to play for a long time due to a knee cruciate ligament injury in April of this year, desperately needed an environment to focus on basketball.
Immediately after the nomination, he came up on stage and looked back, saying, “I had a really hard time with an injury.”

Yang Jun-seok said that Lee Hyun-joong, who is challenging the NBA during a difficult time, has been a great help mentally.
He added, “After getting hurt, Hyunjoong hyung made a video call every day in the US. I plan to finish it quickly and talk to hyung and eat dinner.”
He said he was also looking forward to reuniting with director Eun Hee-seok, who was a teacher during his college days and is now the head coach of Seoul Samsung.
Yang Jun-seok laughed, saying, “I’m looking forward to it. I have a lot of good memories with the director, but I think it would be awkward if I met an enemy in a pro.”
Yang Jun-seok, who has been playing basketball while watching KBL since childhood, did not specify a role model.
When asked if there is a player he would like to emulate, he said, “I always give the same answer to these questions. There are so many good players in the KBL that I can’t pick just one.”
Yang Jun-seok, who is in rehab, cannot help the team right now.
Yang Jun-seok said, “Right now, I throw a lot of shots and run. I’m training on the court.” He said, “It’s hard to say when I will return. If I can get my body ready to play quickly, it will be possible to have my comeback sooner.”
