Women’s basketball BNK recruits free agent Park Hye-jin and Sonia Kim
Woori Bank, the winning team with a large number of free agents leaving, is concerned about its power weakening.
Busan BNK, which ranked last in the women’s professional basketball 2023-2024 season, recruited Park Hye-jin and Sonia Kim at the same time in the free agent (FA) market.
According to women’s basketball officials on the 18th, BNK recruited Park Hye-jin and Sonia Kim and signed a renewal with guard Hye-ji Ahn, who was an internal free agent. 파워볼사이트
As a result, BNK has established a strong guard team that includes Park Hye-jin and Ahn Hye-ji along with Lee So-hee.
Park Hye-jin appeared in 17 regular league games for Asan Woori Bank in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 9.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.
Park Hye-jin, who was selected by Woori Bank as the first overall pick in the 2009 rookie draft, has been a key player in Woori Bank’s 6 consecutive losses since the 2012-2013 season.
He is the league’s representative guard who has been selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the championship game three times and is tied for first place in this category.
Sonia Kim, whose mother is Romanian, scored 16.5 points and 9.1 rebounds at Shinhan Bank in Incheon last season.
It is expected that there will be no problem in working with Park Hye-jin at Woori Bank and working together again at BNK until the 2021-2022 season.
BNK ranked last in the 2023-2024 season with 6 wins and 24 losses in the regular league, but is expected to leap to the mid-to-upper ranks next season with the recruitment of Hye-jin Park and Sonia Kim.
Jinan, who was guarding the goal, gained free agency status and transferred to Bucheon Hana One Q, but BNK can bring in a compensation player.
As there is talk of the possibility that Shin Ji-hyun, the star of Hana One Q, will be excluded from the protected player list, this is actually an opportunity for BNK to strengthen its strength.
On the other hand, Woori Bank, which reached the top of the championship in the 2023-2024 season, is expected to inevitably weaken its strength as most of the players released as free agents leave the team.
Park Ji-hyun became a player on voluntary dismissal, saying she would challenge herself on the foreign stage, and Park Hye-jin, Na Yoon-jeong, and Choi Lee-sam all transferred.
