30+8+4! Predicting the NBA First Round! Another Chinese basketball prodigy emerges

Incredible, outstanding, and getting better all the time.

Xun Sinan delivered a stellar performance with a personal best of 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks, guiding Maryland’s Georgetown Prep High School to a 73-58 win against Landon School.

Born on May 8, 2007, he stands about 2.16 meters tall with a wingspan reportedly reaching 2.30 meters. He fits the NBA’s favored profile of a lanky, agile big man who moves quickly, covers a wide defensive area, and has an exceptionally sharp shot-blocking instinct. Last year at the U19 World Cup, he averaged 5 blocks along with 11.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.

Next season, Xun Sinan will compete in the NCAA, having committed to the prestigious Purdue University, a school known for producing top NBA talent, especially skilled in developing big men. Current players include the 2022 fifth overall pick Jaden Ivey and the 2024 ninth overall pick Zach Edey.

If he maintains steady progress and, most importantly, avoids major injuries, Xun Sinan’s NBA prospects look very promising.Previously, the NBA Draft Room from US media projected he would be selected 12th overall in the first round of the 2028 draft.

In summary, it’s no exaggeration to say that following Yang Hanshen (16th pick in the first round), another Chinese player capable of making it to the NBA has emerged. These two players with different playing styles will jointly support the future of the national team.
