Among the more than 100 people, there are also players who have been selected as All-Stars, rushed into the national team, and won the club’s maximum salary contract.

Previously, we reviewed the survival status of the 9 rookies selected in 2015 and 2016. Today, let us take a look at the 2017 class with a total of 11 selected.
