[점프볼=홍성한 기자] The upcoming 2025-2026 List of 20 foreign players on the Nuilville 10 team was completed.

And who is the best? The jump ball asked.

▲ Derek Williams (No. 7)
Q. What is the most anticipated player?
Director Chang -hwan Son_Derek Williams
It was not a player to come to Korea. There was a blank period, but there is no doubt. Shooting is correct and can be played under the goal. I was surprised when I was coming to KBL.
Han Sang -min Coach_Henry Ellanson
There is a clear advantage of being possible both inside. I have assist ability, but I think I need to adapt. In the third to fourth rounds, skills will improve.
Coach Shin Myung -ho_ Derek Williams, Henry Ellanson
The career is gorgeous. I wonder what kind of play to show in our country. Both inside of the outskirts are possible. I wonder how much performance I will show because there is a blank period. Ellanson is also an inside of the outskirts. I’m a white player, but I have a lot of expectations.
Park Gu -young Coach_ Nadon Knight
I have seen a night playing when I was in college. I thought it was a good player. But recently, it was different from the old play. It seemed to change the style. I wonder what kind of play to play in KBL.
Byun Young -jae, Derek Williams
I had a blank period, but I wonder if I will overcome this and show my heyday. The name value itself is very high. If you are good at adaptation, you will play your role.
Park Do -kyung, Team Leader _ Nayon Knight, Derek Williams
Knight has been a player who has been interested in before. The same is true for Williams. In the case of Williams, there was a blank period due to injuries, but he has a level he has.
Kim Young -hwan, Henry Ellanson
You can play internal and outsiders and score good. I wonder what it will look like and the success of a white player.
Ji -Wook Jung
Since I was in the second year of university, I liked it so much that I posted it on YouTube channel. Through this, the clubs began to recognize this player. It is a pity that the power in the post, which was a strength in college, was halved as I came to the pro. I am curious about the results as KBL will be able to check the question of whether I have forgotten strengths in college or have strengths to play the NBA.
Q. What is the ideal combination (team)?
Director Chang -Hwan Son_LG
Asemaray no longer says. The backup is Michael Eric, but it was okay to watch the recent video. It looked better than playing in KBL. I think it will be a great strength for LG.
Han Sang -min coach_db
The combination with the domestic players is good, and the first option is good at team play. Ellanson’s strengths are a team of power, but it may be a disadvantage that Lee’s role of Albano is somewhat reduced. Essam Musta Pa doesn’t know exactly because of the video, but he runs well. It seems to be able to fill it for about 10 minutes.
Shin Myung -ho coach_sk
Wanny has built an overwhelming career in KBL. Daril Monroe will enter when Wanny rests, but he knows what his role is. I will be so smart that I will show off my skills at least. It seems to show better efficiency than Lion Williams or I Jaea Hicks.
Park Gu -young Coach_KCC
Sean Long was not a player who chose in our team. Denwan Hernandez was replaced during the season, but he was a one -option anyway. Synergy with domestic players seems to be good. It is a combination that is expected to play basketball.
Byun Young -jae coach_Gas Corporation
Normally, if you make a foreign player, you will be selected as a scorer and a second option with a defensive and height. But in the end, one person is on the court. If so, the combination of Laguna and Mancock Matien looks good. No matter who comes out, I think it will play my role.
Park Do -kyung Team Leader_X
This year, there are a lot of new two -option players, so it’s ambiguous to say where I chose it well. KCC Long and Hernandez are fine. However, it seems to have been selected well over 10 clubs. The key is how to control the use and time.
Kim Young -hwan, manager_sk
Wanni is the best foreign player. Monroe is likely to make a good part by using BQ, which is excellent in a short time. The combination of the two athletes seems stable.
Ji -Wook Jung
It is a combination of players who can do what the manager wants rather than how the players are. As Kang Hyuk took over the team, Gas Corporation became a color that had to be high energy level even for foreign players. Matien and Laguna are both active. I don’t know how the team’s performance is, but I think it’s the best combination for the team color.
Q_ What is the up to 1 option?
Director Chang -hwan Son_Jamil Wanni
Isn’t it a player who has completed the verification? He has been on the throne for a few seasons.
Han Sang -min coach_x
To be honest, the player who wants to be ‘expected’ doesn’t come to mind. I saw all the options in person, but no matter how much I think. To put it, Gas Corporation seems to be more sticky due to Laguna.
Shin Myung -ho Coach_Jamil Wanni
There is a new face that is expected, but there is a risk because I don’t know how much I will adapt to Korean basketball. Wanni has a career in KBL. Running on a team for a long time is so capable. He also has scores, assists and solving skills.
Park Gu -young Coach_Jamil Wanni
I know so well about KBL. Instinctively familiar with how to play. If you have any contact, remember that the foul is called. Too good.
Byun Young -jae coach_Jamil Wanni
KBL is a unique league. The proportion of foreign players is also high. There are also various defensive tactics, so even if a new foreign player is a competent player, there is no choice but to be ups and downs. Wanni, who went through all of this and is in a high position, is still the best.
Park Do -kyung, Team Leader_Jamil Wanni
He is a player who can be responsible for the team. This season will be the same.
Young -Hwan Kim
He was the best foreign player for several seasons. It is also expected to be active this season.
Jung Ji -wook, Editor -in -Chief
Last season, Sean Long was disappointing. This was relatively easy to recruit KCC. I think I was good at buying. Once the ball enters the paint zone, it can’t be stopped. I think it’s a good card for KCC. KCC has a good domestic athlete, but overall, it is far from the probability. Sean Long will be shown that it is an option to solve this probability problem.
Q. What is the up to 2 options?
Director Chang -Hwan Son_I Jae -A Hicks
If you show the play of SK days, it is not good. I expect it to be the best in 2 options.
Han Sang -min coach_man Cock Matien, Dwoong Hernandez
It’s a personal idea, but overall, the competitiveness of one option is low. So relatively 2 options look good. They think they are 1.5 options, not 2 options. In particular, Matien played only playoffs last season, but he is a foreign player for KBL style. Even if it is clunky, it is full of energy. This is an upgrade version of silver.
Shin Myung -ho Coach_Darel Monroe
Jeong Kwan -jang and LG, who were in charge of the second option, were all winning the championship. Which team went to, showing his stats, and the team’s performance.
Park Gu -young Coach_Lagun, Daril Monroe
2 Options foreign players should play a stable and changed mood. In that sense, these two are the best. Good skills for experienced people.
Byun Young -jae coach_raguna
Matien came to KBL, but he did not go through all the teams. There may be bends because you don’t know how your opponent will cope with it. Lagan, a career, will be able to assist this well.
Park Do -kyung Team Leader_X
Hyundai Mobis, DB, and Samsung 2 options are not much information. So I think it’s hard to judge.
Kim Young -hwan, Manager_Ragunah
It is old but has a rich KBL experience. If you run for 15 minutes, you will be able to show good competitiveness.
Ji -Wook Jung_Brice Washington
One of the players was one of the players. It’s a name that has been mentioned in recent years. I still think Johnny O’Blient is an unstable card. In that sense, Washington seems to have a lot of opportunities than other two options. Anyway, the second option is a problem of the time, and the O’Blient will have a lot of opportunities to play, so I expect to be more prominent than other 2 options.
Q. What is the unexpected choice?
Director Chang -Hwan Son_Dwo Hernandez
The condition does not seem to come back after injury. Recent records are low. Considering the DB days, it’s a decent choice, but the recent performance is a pity.
Han Sang -min coach_ray Hammons
I know that there was no team reviewed with one option. I was wondering, but I am not sure of the second option (Eric Romero). There are many concerns when I see it.
Shin Myung -ho coach_ Andrew Nicholson
During the Gas Corporation, he saw his health decrease in the second half of the league. I heard that Kim Hyo -bum is looking for a young foreign player who can play outside. Still, I think it might be in line with Kim Hyo -bum’s basketball.
Park Gu -young Coach_Dwan Hernandez
I know that I have retired recently, but nevertheless, I think it was possible to come back and play basketball. There seems to be something that has been enlightened because it failed once. I wonder how much it will show.
Byun Young -jae coach_I Jaea Hicks
I know that KT chose Higgs as a priority. It was that I was trusted by the decision of Williams, and it was an amazing choice.
Park Do -kyung, Team Leader _ Nayon Knight, Derek Williams
It’s like an anticipated player. Williams also played a Euro league and a name -value player. Knight plays in China means that there is a level. It was a good player.
Kim Young -hwan, Manager_Sean Long, Dr.
Long is a foreign player who is outstanding but not easy to deal with. And I wonder how to use Hernandez, which once failed in KBL. Long and Hernandez’s defensive weaknesses should also be solved.
Jung Ji -wook, Editor -in -Chief Eric Romero
He played with Bryce Washington’s backup. Basically, foreign players should score to some extent. Romero seems to be difficult to come out to some extent. Yang Dong -geun’s intention to select is clear, so I will take advantage of the advantages, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t have thought to recruit.
