13 points and 4 rebounds! Announced to enter the NBA draft next year! The core forward of the Chinese men's basketball team

The biggest surprise for the Chinese men's basketball team this year, the "strongest summer worker" Wang Junjie, during his first senior national team journey at the Asia Cup, averaged 23.5 minutes per game, contributing 13 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 56.1% and an impressive three-point rate of 47.8%, earning a spot in the tournament's best lineup alongside Hu Jinqiu.

Due to his outstanding immediate impact and obvious talent, many CBA clubs are eager to secure Wang Junjie through youth training contracts....If this guy currently has any connection with a CBA team, it would be the Liaoning squad, for whom he played in the National Games previously.

However, Wang Junjie's main focus remains on starting his third NCAA season soon,and he might enter the NBA draft as early as next year.Even if he goes undrafted, he will likely prioritize opportunities to play overseas before considering a return to the CBA...

In his sophomore season, Wang Junjie started 22 of 31 games for the University of San Francisco, averaging 19.7 minutes, 6.2 points, and 3.2 rebounds per game, with shooting percentages of 41.9%, 30.5%, and 59.6%. He has secured a stable role in the rotation, and his Asia Cup experience might help him earn more playing time and better stats in his junior year, giving him stronger confidence to challenge the NBA next summer.

Standing 2.06 meters tall, with a strong physique unafraid of contact, versatile and confident offensive skills, and mature tactical execution, Wang Junjie’s age of 21 at next year’s NBA draft is a slight disadvantage, but he is believed to have at least second-round potential, as this type of power forward is rare.

Last year, Cui Yongxi signed a two-way contract with the Nets, and this year Yang Hansen was picked 16th in the first round by the Trail Blazers. Can Wang Junjie continue to bring good news to Chinese basketball next year?

Yes, definitely. There is no reason not to believe in such a talented young player who can dominate the national team at just 20 years old.

By the way, if Wang Junjie can sign with Klutch Sports agency, his path to the NBA will be more than halfway secured; Paul’s influence is already well recognized!
