Sono explained "The interests were matched in the process of supplementing each other's needs ahead of the season, which begins again after the FIBA break (World Cup Asian qualifiers)."
Jung Sung-jo has improved his skills through amateur basketball competitions and 3-on-3 basketball without an elite basketball player's career. He made his professional debut in November last year after being selected by Sono as the second runner-up in the third round of the rookie draft. Last season, he averaged 9 minutes and 10 seconds and had 3.4 points-1.1 assists-1.6 rebounds. However, his position has declined this season, with an average of less than three minutes for Sono. Eventually, Samsung took on a new challenge. Park Jin-chul has averaged about nine minutes in the last five seasons, recording 1.8 points-2.0 rebounds.
Cha Min-seok, who went to Sono, made history in the 2020 rookie draft for the first time 'First Round of High School Graduation'. He averaged 3.8 points-2.4 rebounds until last season. Currently serving in the military athletic unit Sangmu.
Lee Dong-yeop wore a Samsung uniform as the fifth pick in the first round in the 2015 rookie draft. When he was in college, he was evaluated as a dual guard. On the professional stage, he stood out in defense.
Sono coach Son Chang-hwan said, `Lee Dong-yeop is a tall guard and has strength in defense. In many ways, it will minimize gaps (such as Kim Jin-yu and Lee Jae-do). Cha Min-seok said, "Since I have enough competitiveness inside and outside, I will be of great help next season if I make a good body at Sangmu."
