No more fighting! Reportedly withdrawing from the National Games! The primary core forward of the Chinese men's basketball team

According to a prominent basketball platform in China,Wang Junjie might skip playing for Liaoning in the U22 finals of the National Games because the NCAA new season schedule conflicts with it.

In past National Games, Wang played an average of 26.4 minutes per game, posting well-rounded numbers of 14.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.6 assists, with shooting percentages of 38.8% and 23%. His physical talent and diverse offensive skills were very impressive during that time.

Currently, Wang Junjie plays for the University of San Francisco and is about to enter his junior year. In his sophomore season, he appeared in 31 games with 22 starts, averaging 19.7 minutes, 6.2 points, and 3.2 rebounds per game, shooting 41.9%, 30.5%, and 59.6% respectively. As a freshman, he played 19 games, averaging 7.5 minutes, 2.8 points, and 1.2 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 43.5%.

This summer, Wang joined the Chinese national team as a "summer worker" and shined at the Asia Cup, averaging 23.5 minutes, 13 points, and 4.2 rebounds per game, shooting 56.1%, 47.8%, and 75%. He played a key role in helping the team secure second place and was selected for the tournament's All-Star lineup.

His playing style is mature and experienced, unlike a typical 2005-born rising star.

Standing around 2.06 meters tall with a strong build, he is fearless in physical confrontations and often dominates opponents inside.

Most impressively, his long-range shooting is highly reliable even under defensive pressure.

In summary, Wang Junjie is undoubtedly the biggest surprise for Chinese men's basketball this year. His current readiness justifies a starting core role, and he is expected to challenge the highest levels of global basketball, possibly entering the NBA draft as soon as next year.

Therefore, the upcoming junior season is crucial for Wang Junjie and leaves no room for error. Staying at the University of San Francisco to focus on preparing for the new season is clearly the right choice. He must secure a firmer starting spot and a higher tactical role to improve his stats and boost his confidence and prospects for the NBA draft.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of August this year, the Chinese Basketball Association sent a letter to the University of San Francisco, mainly to thank them for supporting Wang Junjie’s participation in the Asia Cup and to express hope for continued cooperation in the future.
