Lin Wei: Can a young guard really knock on the NBA s door?

In the NBA G League (NBA Development League) international player draft, 21-year-old Xiamen player Lin Wei was selected by the Texas Legends team of the Dallas Mavericks with the 8th pick.

From the CBA arena to the signing of a contract with an American agency, Lin Wei's basketball dream is taking off at a faster pace. But can a young guard really knock on the NBA's door?

Jump shooting technology: adopts a high-arc forward jump shot, has strong anti-interference ability, is good at shooting in unconventional postures such as drifting, horse riding and archery, and has a stable shooting rate from the middle distance.

The Mavericks ranked second in the shooting test, confirming that the shooting potential was recognized, but their defensive shortcomings were focused on.

Lin Wei takes the "American shooting guard" style as the core label. His top-level strong shooting ability and tough instinct are the foundation, but the efficiency transformation, defense improvement and field control maturity under NBA-level confrontation will determine his development limit.

Lin Wei's breakthrough marks a new exploration of Chinese defenders on the international stage, and his ultimate destination will directly affect the direction of Chinese basketball's overseas study.

Lin Wei's choice is essentially "short-term economic sacrifice to exchange for NBA opportunities", and his team prioritizes the possibility of promotion in the Development League rather than the absolute salary.
