It is said that only one of the four foreign players in the Guangdong team is left, Zhu Fangyu continues to strengthen, it is better to pick up the gap than to open a blind box.

During the CBA offseason, all teams are organizing summer training and strengthening the team. Among the four foreign players of the Guangdong team last season, only Bazli will be left. Next, Zhu Fangyu's vision of selecting foreign players will be tested. I hope Zhu Fangyu will not let everyone down this summer. This season, it will be considered a success to strengthen 2-3 foreign players above the average level and be able to enter the top four of the playoffs.

The Guangdong team replaced several foreign players last season. It was not until the start of the playoffs that it was confirmed that four foreign players, including Moreland, Bazley, Gillenwater and Trey Burke, were confirmed. Trey Burke's performance continued to be bad in the playoffs, and even was abandoned by Du Feng in one game. After the end of the season, Burke left the team and returned to the United States as soon as possible. He was the first foreign player to be abandoned by Guangdong team in the offseason. The second one to be abandoned is Morand. Although his data performance is good and he has good ability to fight and protect the frame, his temper is irritable and he is easily fouled, which is an unstable factor on the field. In addition, his salary is also relatively high, with an annual salary of more than 1.5 million yuan, and his cost-effectiveness is not very high, so it is reasonable to be abandoned.

The third foreign aid to be abandoned is Gillenwater, who is the team's scoring champion and the most stable scorer of the Guangdong team last season. He plays diligently. Although he is a little older, his athletic ability and technical level are acceptable, and he can also meet the team's demand for big foreign aids. But some time ago, he was exposed to taking banned drugs during the game, and then he admitted this. There was no way that the Guangdong team could only give up on him. Even the Guangdong team, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng might be punished additionally. The CBA and Guangdong team are both 0 tolerant of stimulants, and it will not be a pity to give up such players.

Finally, it is Bazley, which is also the only player who is willing to stay. Bazley is 25 years old, 2.03 meters tall, 2.13 meters wide, and 2.72 meters tall. He was selected by the Jazz in the 23rd pick in the first round of 2019 and was then traded to the Thunder. Last season, Bazley joined the CBA Guangdong team. He played 33 games in the regular season. He averaged 12.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks in 25.5 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.7%; he averaged 11.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in five games in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 57.9%. At the end of the first phase of last season, the Guangdong team announced the waiver of Bazley, but the team with poor record in the early stage of the second phase signed Bazley back and played until the end of the season.

Bazley currently plays in the summer league with the NBA Lakers. His goal is to return to the NBA. However, after watching a few games, he feels that although his data is good, his desire to score offensively and his shooting stability is not good. This is also his always-official problem. The Guangdong team has not shot all season, but its defensive stability is indeed good. It can be from No. 1 to No. 4, and occasionally it can play No. 5. CBA teams like this. However, it is not enough to watch it in the NBA, so he is likely to be unable to return to the NBA. Returning to the CBA is the best choice.

Bezley discussed with him before leaving the Guangdong team that if he could not enter the NBA, he would return to the Guangdong team to play. The Guangdong team also retained his priority contract renewal rights. Although it was a little more expensive, it was indeed easy to use. In addition, it was young, and $1.2 million a year was acceptable.

Of course, only Bazley is not enough. Zhu Fangyu will continue to add 3 foreign players next time. In fact, the probability of foreign players successfully opening blind boxes is very small. It is better to directly sign foreign players who have played in the CBA and other teams don’t want. Just like Ma Shang and Wilms in the past few years, there are now Sumner of Sichuan team, Goodwin of Shanxi team, and Salinjie of Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball Team, etc. Zhu Fangyu and Guangdong team can consider it.
