The second phase of the CBA regular season is in full swing, and recently there has been a lot of talk about former NBA top forward Darius Sanwell receiving offers from CBA teams. Sanwell is an experienced attacking wing guard with a height of 1.93 meters, averaging 12.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season in Europe. Currently, many CBA teams have a strong desire to strengthen their small foreign aid positions. Among them, in addition to Guangdong Men's Basketball, which has not had a qualified small foreign aid, the three major giants Shanxi team, Xinjiang team, and Beijing Shougang team are also looking for suitable new small foreign aids, and it is highly likely that they have already sent offers to Sanwell.
Without a doubt, the CBA league has now completely entered an era of foreign player competition. This season, the rule of 4 quarters and 7 foreign players in the CBA league has caused a revolutionary change in the championship race. Among them, traditional powerhouses such as Liaoning team, Guangdong team, and Zhejiang team, who have advantages in their local lineups, have seen their overall advantages disappear due to increased use of foreign players. As a result, some teams with powerful foreign players have officially joined the ranks of championship contenders, including Shanghai men's basketball with Lofton and Shanxi men's basketball with Goodwin and Diagno, both of whom are the biggest beneficiaries of the new foreign player rules this season. Although several foreign players have joined the CBA league this season only to be cut, some teams still have not found suitable foreign players.
Among them, the foreign aid links of teams led by Guangdong team, including Xinjiang team and Beijing team, are at a disadvantage. And Sanwell, who has very rich experience in attacking wing forward foreign aid, must be a hot commodity in the CBA league. It has been reported that Sanwell has received offers from multiple teams, and many fans believe that many teams, including Beijing Shougang team, Xinjiang team, Shanxi team, and Guangdong team, may be interested in this wing with strong offensive ability. Shanxi team needs to introduce new foreign aid to temporarily fill the vacancy because the main foreign aid Diallo has personal reasons to temporarily leave the team. Both Beijing Shougang team and Xinjiang team have strong local lineups, but their foreign aid links are below the league average. As for Guangdong team, after going through Barton, Arms, and Reese this season, they have not yet found a qualified small foreign aid.
Many fans are optimistic that Guangdong team can land the big fish Sanwell, as the physical condition of the main guard Xu Jie is currently exhausted. Moreover, the previously rumored foreign aid Darrell Russell, who was offered by Guangdong team, was exposed as unable to join due to contract issues with Hongyuan. At this time, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng are seeking new foreign aid targets, and Sanwell is undoubtedly one of the most suitable foreign aids for Guangdong team at present. Sanwell's sufficient height and wingspan can make up for the disadvantages of Guangdong team's forward line No. 3 position and alleviate Xu Jie's ball pressure on both offense and defense. In addition, Sanwell can match Guangdong team's star player Hu Mingxuan and activate the team's shooters.
It must be said that Guangdong Men's Basketball may be the biggest potential landing spot for Sanwell. Of course, Beijing Shougang team, Xinjiang team, and Shanxi team all have strong financial resources and may also obtain this wing foreign aid with strong personal ability.
