Will DB, Took First Place in the Regular League with Wire-to-Wire, Sweep the MVP Award as Well?

 

 

Domestic MVP Albano-Kang Sang-jae-Kim Jong-gyu 'family fight'... Lawson challenges foreign player MVP

 

As Wonju DB, a professional basketball team, has secured first place in the regular league for the first time in four years, attention is focused on whether it will also dominate the season's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

 

There appears to be a 'family fight' among DBs over the domestic player MVP, including Asian quarter player Ethan Albano from the Philippines, 'Captain' Kang Sang-jae, and iconic native big man Kim Jong-gyu.

 

In particular, Albano is challenging to become the first MVP from the Asian quarter. 온라인카지노사이트

 

Asian quota players are considered domestic players in various awards, so Albano was eligible to receive the domestic player MVP award.

 

Albano, who is playing for DB for the second year, appeared in 48 games this season and averaged 31 minutes and 49 seconds, scoring 15.5 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals.

 

In particular, he is ranked first in the league in assists and is evaluated as having played a major role in helping DB rise to first place with his offensive ability and game coordination ability.

 

Kang Sang-jae, who is in his 7th year as a pro and his 3rd season in DB and served as captain this season, is having the best year of his career and is considered an MVP candidate as he contributed as much to DB's rise to first place as Albano.

 

He played an average of 32 minutes and 51 seconds in 46 games this season, averaging 14.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.

 

His 3-point shooting success rate was 41.1%, similar to Albano's (41.3%), and he led the team's attack with both height and shooting accuracy.

 

Kim Jong-gyu, who forms 'DB acidity' along with Didrick Lawson and Kang Sang-jae, is also excellent.

Kim Jong-gyu averaged 12 points and 6.2 rebounds this season.

 

He ranked second overall in blocks with 1.3 and showed off his presence under the goal.

 

Excluding DB players, Goyang Sono's third-year guard Lee Jeong-hyeon is mentioned as a player who can compete for MVP.

 

Lee Jung-hyun played a very active role this season, playing for an average of 36 minutes and 5 seconds, the longest in the league, ranking 6th overall with 21.5 points and 2nd place after Albano with 6.6 assists.

 

He was the only domestic player to be selected as Round MVP (Round 5) during this season, and the team's ranking of only 8th place inevitably served as a weakness in the competition to select the best player of the season.

 

Lawson, who played for Goyang Carrots last season and showed more mature skills while wearing the DB uniform this season, is aiming for the foreign player MVP.

 

Lawson is averaging 22.7 points, 10 rebounds, and 4.7 assists this season.

 

His all-round performance was such that he ranked 5th overall in scoring, 6th in rebounds, and 5th in assists.

 

Lawson highlighted his continued performance this season by scoring 47 points, including two decisive 3-pointers in overtime, in the game against Suwon KT on the 14th, when DB confirmed first place in the regular league with a 107-103 win.

 

Lawson's foreign player MVP competitors include KT's Paris Bass, who ranks first in scoring average (25.5 points).

 

The most recent example of a professional basketball season MVP coming from DB was when Doo Kyung-min and Dionte Burton won the domestic and foreign player MVP awards, respectively, in the 2017-2018 season.

 

At that time, Wonju DB was ranked first in the regular league and swept both categories, and attention is being paid to whether a double victory will occur for the first time in six years.
