The 2011 draft was highly anticipated by observers and KBL coaches as it included seniors responsible for Chung-Ang University's record-breaking run of 52 consecutive wins in the collegiate basketball league. The main players, center Oh Se-keun and point guard Kim Sun-hyung, have gone on to win the KBL Championship and the KBL [Most Valuable Player Award] and were key players in the South Korean national team winning gold in the 2014 Asian Games.
The third pick of the draft Choi Jin-soo is the first South Korean to receive an NCAA Division I basketball scholarship and played for the University of Maryland. He was the youngest of the draft class as the "early entry" option was still unheard of at that time and nearly all participants were college seniors. The third overall pick, he was chosen by Goyang Orions, where his father Kim Yoo-taek was then a member of the coaching staff.
