“I want to advance to the PO with Jae-do Lee and Kwan-hee Lee … Long shooting distance is my strength”
–
“The LG team, seen from the outside, was a team with a lot of enthusiasm and cheers of fans.
“
Yang Jun-seok (21.180cm), the main character of the rookie in pro basketball 2022, was delighted to have joined the team that best matched him at a press conference following his appointment at the Jamsil Student Seoul gymnasium on 27.
Changwon LG, led by director Jo Sang-hyun, has appointed Yonsei Yang Jun-seok University guard.
Yang Jun-seok said: “This is a team with KBL representative guards Lee Jae-do and Lee Kwan-hee.
I will learn by meeting a lot “.
He said: “I want to work well with my brothers and advance to the playoffs this season.”
LG finished 7th in the regular league last season and unfortunately did not progress to the PO semifinal.
Yang Jun-seok, who is considered the best point guard in college, is considered to be his greatest strength during the game, along with shooting and ball handling.
Since his first year, he has been recognized for his skills while also gaining time to compete among eminent high school students such as Park Ji-won (kt) and Lee Jeong-hyeon (Carrot).

From last year, to the second year, he and Lee Jung-hyun formed the backcourt of Yonsei University and led the team.
In May and June last year, he played against Korea University, which is considered the university’s strongest power, and played an active role with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 15 points and 7 rebounds respectively, and announced that it was at the highest level.
Yang Jun-seok said: “I think game management, passing and shooting are better than other guards.
In fact, unlike other players who shoot close to the 3-point line, Yang Jun-seok threw an outside cannon far behind the line in the college league, making it difficult for defenders.
Earlier, on the 20th, right after the combine draft held at the KBL Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, I met with reporters and said, “If I can get even three points from a long distance, no director will stop me.
Rather, I’ll allow it, “he said confidently.
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 cruciate ligament injury in his knee in April of this year, was in dire need of an environment to focus on basketball.
Immediately after the nomination, he took the stage and looked back, saying, “I’ve been through a really tough time with an injury.”

Yang Jun-seok said Lee Hyun-joong, who is challenging the NBA at a difficult time, has been a great help mentally.
He said: “After getting hurt, Hyunjoong hyung made a video call every day in the United States.
I’m going to finish it quickly and talk to my hyung, eat and do it. “
He said he was looking forward to reuniting with director Eun Hee-seok, who was a college teacher and now head of Samsung in Seoul.
Yang Jun-seok said: “I can’t wait.
I have many good memories with the director, but I think it would be embarrassing if I met an enemy in a professional. “
Yang Jun-seok, who plays basketball while watching KBL since childhood, didn’t specify a 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 rehabilitating, cannot help the team right now.
Yang Jun-seok said: “Right now, I throw a lot of shots and run away.
He is also training on the pitch.
If you can quickly build a body to play in the game, your return will be faster. “
