Such was the anticipation over the three Kyung Hee University players that disgruntled Changwon LG Sakers fans accused head coach Kim Jin of "giving up on basketball" to finish in a lower position of the 2011–12 [KBL season|2011–12 league table] so that they can qualify for the draft lottery to get an earlier pick, accusations which Kim has denied.Lee Dae-sung had played college basketball in the NCAA Division II before returning to South Korea. Since he had last played overseas, he did not qualify to be automatically included in the KBL's list of rookies for the draft and joined the draft via the try-out open to amateur players not from a domestic college program, impressing enough to earn a nomination. |
