Wow! Guangdong team is reportedly seeking to trade for Lin Wei! The top scoring guard in China

Domestic media reports:Guangdong is seeking a trade to acquire Lin Wei's draft rights...

The team already has two national-level guards in Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan, so adding another one like Lin Wei? Unless Guangdong has plans to make changes involving the first two, it's a bit hard to understand.

Lin Wei was born on December 25, 2003. He is a combo guard with a height of 1.93 meters and a wingspan of 1.89 meters. Over the past three seasons in the CBA, he has played for the Tongxi team, averaging over 20 points per game in two seasons. He is the most scoring-capable player among current domestic guards, and at only 22 years old, his trade value goes without saying.

Lin Wei is currently playing in the NCAA. Last season, he played for the University of Oregon, averaging only 6.6 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 34.3% and 29.1%. He applied for a transfer this summer but apparently did not succeed, as recent photos show him still training at that school.

Lin Wei is not without offers from other NCAA teams. For example, he turned down a scholarship and NIL support from the University of North Carolina, giving up the chance to join a top-tier conference team.

As for the reason? There is no clear conclusion yet.

Some media commentators have said: The reason Lin Wei rejected North Carolina is that staying at Oregon would give him more playing time and a larger role, without having to adapt to a new environment again.

Yes, whether or not he joins a prestigious school is not important to Lin Wei. What matters is that he can play and put up good numbers, thereby using the NCAA platform to increase his exposure and strive to open the door to his NBA dream.

By the way, if Lin Wei ever gets an NBA contract, the national team might reopen its doors to him. Otherwise, the public pressure would be too fierce to bear, like a tsunami.

Since Guo Shiqiang took over as head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Lin Wei has only been selected for one training camp before being "blacklisted." Rumors suggest there is a minor conflict between them, but it's really just a small issue, far from the point of no contact.
