“I would say I have a unique perspective with my USA Basketball experience and seeing China so much over the last, I don’t know, four or so years. I think for sure, I think that talent is increasing. I think that China is on the verge of having a couple of players in the league that will be a part of teams. Again, this is a really difficult league. I think that the couple players in this draft, whether it’s Han or whether it’s Li Yueru, these are some good post players, and I think teams have a need in that area. These players work very, very hard. They’re very young with some serious upside, and again, just having seen them on the national team, this is a league that I think they could be comfortable in if they get the opportunity.”
