Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has officially announced the release of foreign players Achuer and Shayok, indicating a failure in the offseason recruitment. However, it's never too late to mend, and Liaoning immediately started the selection of new foreign players.
Currently, Liaoning has offered or tried out several foreign players, and the new foreign player is expected to be selected from the following candidates.
-
Frank Kaminsky
Born in 1993, he is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 109 kilograms. As the No. 9 pick in the NBA first round, he has played for NBA teams such as the Hornets, Suns, Rockets, and Hawks. In his NBA career, he averaged 8.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
Technical characteristics: He has a relatively comprehensive offensive technique, solid skills under the basket, and also possesses decent mid-to-long-range shooting ability. However, his physical strength is weak and not strong enough.
It is rumored that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has offered Kaminsky, but I feel that this news is not true.

Udoka Azubuike
Age 25, 2.13 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.33 meters. The No. 27 pick in the NBA first round, he has played for teams such as the Jazz and Suns. Last season, he played for the Suns, averaging 2.2 points and 2 rebounds per game.
Technical characteristics: He has excellent physical quality, strong confrontation ability, and is good at grabbing rebounds and protecting the rim. His scoring ability mainly relies on strong attacks under the basket, and he belongs to the power center type, similar to Han Dejun.
There are reports that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has offered Azubuike and conducted a trial, but the specific signing situation is unknown.

Jonathan Motley
Born in 1995, he is 2.08 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.22 meters and weighs 104 kilograms. As an undrafted player in the NBA, he has played for teams such as the Mavericks and Clippers. In his NBA career, he averaged 4.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
Player characteristics: He has excellent physical quality, strong explosive power, and is good at rushing for rebounds. His characteristics should be similar to Bazley, the former foreign aid of Guangdong team.
Currently, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has offered, and the specific signing situation remains to be observed.

Tony Bradley
Born in 1998, he is 2.08 meters tall, weighs 112 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 2.26 meters. As the No. 28 pick in the NBA first round, he has signed with many teams such as the Lakers, Jazz, 76ers, Thunder, Bulls, Mavericks, and Hawks. Currently playing in the NBAG league, averaging 15.1 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. In his NBA career, he averaged 4.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
Player characteristics: He has excellent physical quality and strong confrontation ability. He can grab rebounds and protect the rim, with outstanding defensive abilities. However, his shooting is average, and his characteristics are similar to Morand.
It is rumored that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has recently contacted Bradley.
The above foreign players are those who have recently been in contact with Liaoning team. Azubuike is quite strong, but it seems that the hope of joining is not great. Kaminsky has good offensive skills, but poor confrontation ability, which is not the type Liaoning needs. Motley is similar to Bazley, the former foreign aid of Guangdong, and Liaoning does not need him either.
For now, Bradley seems to be the most suitable for Liaoning team. His characteristics are similar to Morand, and his height and weight are almost the same, and he is younger than Morand. Whether he can successfully join Liaoning team, we will wait and see.
