Moon Sung-gon and Park Joon-young return to KT's forward lineup with many 1-2 picks
Hee-won Han, Jeong-hyeon Moon, Yoon-ki Ha, Doo-won Lee Boasting a wealth of forward talent Heo Hoon also returns with ‘Hwaryongjeongjeong’ “Team defense and organization are better than before enlistment.”
Professional basketball team Suwon KT's Heo Hoon and Moon Seong-gon are being interviewed by reporters at the KT Victorium in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 15th.
In professional basketball, a forward with a height of mid-190 cm is a valuable resource.
Therefore, if this kidney-sized forward plays his part inside and outside, the chances of gaining an upper hand in the battle against other teams increase.
Suwon KT, a professional basketball team, has strengthened this position in just one season.
Moon Jeong-hyeon, a 194cm tall forward from Korea University, joined the team before the start of the season as the overall first pick in the draft, and on the 15th, Park Joon-young (195cm tall) returned to the team after completing his military service.
Moon Seong-gon (195cm), whom KT ambitiously recruited this summer, is nearing his return after suffering an ankle injury.
Moon Seong-gon, the undisputed best defender in professional basketball who won the best defense award for four consecutive seasons, is scheduled for a home game against Seoul SK on the 18th as his return game.
Coincidentally, both Park Joon-young and Moon Seong-gon are top-ranked forwards from Korea University.They entered professional basketball in 2018 and 2015, respectively.
Coach Song Young-jin, who mainly used Han Hee-won (194cm) along with Moon Jeong-hyun for the early part of the season, is now able to use a variety of forwards.
Han Hee-won, who was selected as the second pick in 2015 following Moon Seong-gon, is averaging 9.9 points and 4.6 rebounds, the most since entering professional basketball this season.
KT has other second-ranked forwards like Han Hee-won.

Another pride of KT is the power forward position, which consists of Ha Yoon-ki (203 cm) and Lee Doo-won (204 cm), both graduates of Korea University, who were called to the team as second-ranked players in 2021 and 2022.
In particular, Ha Yoon-ki has established himself as the best big man in the league, playing in 9 games this season and averaging 19.6 points and 7 rebounds.
KT, which also has Paris Bass, who is 199cm tall and is close to a technician, is now able to showcase a variety of forward combinations.
In addition, Korean national team guard Heo Hoon, who will supply passes to them at the right time, has completed his military service, raising expectations both inside and outside the KT team.
Heo Hoon, Moon Seong-gon, and Park Jun-young all participated in the team training held at KT Victorium in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 15th and worked out at the same intensity as other players.
Moon Seong-gon, who normally participated in not only the 4-on-4 half-court drill but also the full-court fast break drill, ran between both courts and easily put up a layup.
Park Joon-young, whose mobility was considered a weakness, also predicted his performance by finishing a quick break and keeping up with the efforts of his teammates, who had improved their physical condition during the season.
As Park Jun-young, who had become more agile than before enlistment, picked up speed, his colleagues who were watching encouraged him by saying, “Oh, Jun-young is running well!” 토토사이트
