V-League rookies adjusting to the workplace…could they be ‘game changers’?

This year’s V-League Rookie Draft saw the debut of some of the newest rookies in the league. It will be interesting to see if they can make a difference in their respective teams and the standings.

Setter Kim Da-eun (18-Korea Expressway Corporation), the No. 1 overall pick in the draft after graduating from Mokpo Women’s College, has been a steady presence on the court. With Lee Yoon-jung as the starting setter, Korea Express head coach Kim Jong-min has been utilizing the 5-foot-7 Kim’s height in the 카지노사이트 front row to help with blocking.

Kim made her professional debut in the home opener on Nov. 22. She made two effective blocks and showed the potential to utilize her height. However, she was nervous due to her short playing time and made a lot of errors (3). He then appeared in the away match against IBK on the 26th and scored one point. Coach Kim Jong-min is gradually increasing his playing time so that he can adjust to the offensive line and get used to it.

Choi Yoo-rim (19), a 190-centimeter middle blocker who was drafted by GS Caltex with the second overall pick, also made her debut in the starting lineup against Hyundai E&C on the 27th. She contributed to the team’s scoring in sets one and two with three of her five blocks being effective blocks. Lee Ju-ah (18), a 183-centimeter outside hitter who is said to be one of GS Caltex’s weaknesses in height, also played in two matches.

Lee Joo-ah is the third-ranked player in the GS Caltex uniform. She made her debut against Jeonggwanjang on March 20th. She has yet to score in two games, but is expected to play an important role as an alto for a team that has been struggling with injuries and other roster issues.

On the men’s side, Korean Air setter Choi Won-bin (22) was the first of the first-round draft picks to score. Choi graduated from Kyungpook National University and donned the Korean Air jersey. Choi scored his first point in his professional debut on Nov. 27 against Hyundai Capital as a ‘one point server’. It was a lucky shot that hit the net and crossed over to the opposing court. Teammate outside hitter Seo Hyun-il (21), the No. 1 pick in the second round, also made her debut on the court.

Samsung Fire outside hitter Kim Yo-han (21) also scored his first points in his debut after coming off the bench against the KEPCO on Nov. 26. He was drafted sixth overall in the second round. These are the future stars of their respective teams stepping into the professional ranks. Watching them grow slowly is one of the exciting things about watching the V-League.
