25 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 break! The men s basketball team s national youth team hit the thigh, is this the next NBA Chinese player?

The offseason of the 2024-25 CBA League has not ended yet, and a news about the potential new star of Chinese men's basketball team, Zhang Boyuan, hitting the thigh in the US-High School match continues to heat up. According to people familiar with the matter, Zhang Boyuan, a young player in the United States and a forward of the Shanxi Youth Team, helped Veritas Academy defeat Pumas 74-54 in the Border League game. According to statistics, in this game, Zhang Boyuan, the main striker of the Chinese U19 men's basketball team, made 7 of 14 shots, plus 5 of 10 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Previously, Zhang Boyuan has received offers from three NCAA D1 league schools, namely the University of California, Riverside, University of Texas, El Paso, and University of California, Berkeley.

As the MGH competition continues, Zhang Boyuan will inevitably receive more invitations from prestigious NCAA schools in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Boyuan now has basically had the potential to enter the first round of the NBA league draft. Previously, some US media predicted that Zhang Boyuan might enter the first round of the NBA league draft in the future. It now seems that Zhang Boyuan can achieve the dominance of "stop killing" in MGC's games, and his future NBA league prospects have basically surpassed Xun Sinan and others. As a phenomenal striker, Zhang Boyuan is over 2 meters tall and has sufficient ball holding ability. Although there is no great advantage in athletic ability and height and wingspan, Zhang Boyuan's projection talent is almost an epic existence of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In addition, Zhang Boyuan's game temperament is indeed satisfactory. Even when facing European and American opponents with stronger physical talent and athletic ability, Zhang Boyuan can deal with it more easily. Moreover, after more than two months of training at MGH, Zhang Boyuan has made a new improvement compared to this year's performance in the Chinese U19 Men's Basketball World Youth Championship. Now, Zhang Boyuan has once again strengthened the ability to protect rebounding, ball holding and shooting. As expected, Zhang Boyuan will continue to play a super scoring ability of averaging 20-30 points in subsequent games. Moreover, Zhang Boyuan also has the potential to become the team's number one core scorer.

In fact, although the talented Yang Hansen has entered the NBA league with the 16th pick in the first round. However, Xun Sinan and others may not be able to achieve their goal of entering the NBA league in the future. Even though Xun Sinan has super athletic ability and physical conditions, the competition for the same type of center is very large. Moreover, Yang Hansen's path to success is almost impossible to replicate. This phenomenon of ball business talent and insider's ball-holding and playing style is basically rare in a century. The next Chinese player who has the opportunity to base himself in the NBA is Zhang Boyuan. Zhang Boyuan can further improve his shooting ability in the future, and rely on his more accurate ability to open up space on the outside line to establish himself in the NBA league.

To sum up, Zhang Boyuan has shown his potential to compete in the first round draft pick in the NBA league at this stage. If Zhang Boyuan can enter the NBA league, then it may be the key to the subsequent rise of the Chinese men's basketball team.
