Is SK Ahn Young-jun the role model for Shin Seung-min, the third transfer?
KOGAS is going through a difficult season, but it is laying the foundation for the future. Shin Seung-min , who mainly played as number 4 (power forward), was converted to number 3 (small forward) as part of this. 토토사이트웹
Shin Seung-min, who was ranked 8th overall in the 2021 rookie draft and wore the Korea Gas Corporation uniform, took on the role of backup to Lee Dae-heon and Jeong Hyo-geun (currently Jeong Kwan-jang) after his professional debut. However, he prepared for this season as number 3. KOGAS coach Kang Hyuk said, “Shin Seung-min played as a number 4 (power forward) until college. Since he is short (compared to his position), I thought it would be better to quickly switch to number 3,” he explained the reason for the change.
In 15 games, Shin Seung-min is averaging 7.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 3-pointers per game, and a 32.4% 3-point success rate. Shin Seung-min, who played 15 minutes and 14 seconds per game last season, is playing 24 minutes and 56 seconds this season. Playing time is increasing. The number of 3-point shot attempts on offense also increased, and the defense width expanded as coach Kang planned.
Coach Kang said, “(Shin) Seung-min put in a lot of effort in the off-season. “He also lost weight from 105kg to 100kg,” he said. “If the powerful Seungmin plays as number 3, he has speed and can even play guard defense.” In fact, in the away game against DB on the 4th, he was in charge of the defense of Ethan Albano.
Shin Seung-min’s role model is SK Ahn Young-jun. Director Kang said, “I told Seung-min that he was an actor after seeing Ahn Young-jun. He is also Seungmin’s senior at Yonsei University. Young-Jun Ahn is number 3 and plays guard defense and also rebounds. “He scores goals and plays a lot.”
Shin Seung-min’s growth is like a ray of light in a gas construction company with a thin player base. If Shin Seung-min grows like Ahn Young-jun, Korea Gas Corporation may also change. Coach Kang said, “Shin Seung-min is a player we expect to see great improvement in our team this season,” and added, “He needs to show consistent performance in every game, but he will continue to improve as he works hard.”
