12:35pm, 24 August 2025Basketball

According to domestic media people in the live broadcast, Lin Wei will compete in the NCAA in the new season, and the agency will recently announce which school he will join...

Not long ago, in the NBA G League International Player Draft, Lin Wei was selected by the Mavericks' team Texas Legends in the 8th pick, but as mentioned above, he did not play in the Development League, but chose to enter college basketball.

In this regard, in the new season, there will be three familiar Chinese superstars in the NCAA to compete at the same time. In addition to Lin Wei, there are also Wang Junjie and Zhao Weilun who play for the University of San Francisco.

Compared with Wang Junjie and Zhao Weilun, Lin Wei has mature professional game experience and has proved himself in the CBA. Last season, he averaged 21 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 breaks per game, with shooting percentages of 41.3%, 34.9% and 87.6% in three events, leading Tongxi men's basketball team to the playoffs for the first time in history; in the playoffs, he averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 11 assists and 1.5 breaks per game, and his three events were hit 43.5%, 26.5% and 94.1%.

, born on December 25, 2003, Lin Wei is only 21 years old and is the scoring champion of local players today. Unfortunately, due to her mediocre physical talent and extremely fierce competition in the same position, she unfortunately lost in this year's NBA draft.

Lin Wei's future career plan can only be determined at present. He is trying to continue to seek opportunities in the NBA through the NCAA. If he fails to challenge the NBA again, he may enter the Australian NBL or other overseas leagues. Anyway, he will not return to the CBA to play in the 25-26 season. The overall purpose is to improve himself in competition with high-level opponents.

As for Lin Wei's problems with the Chinese men's basketball team, with Guo Shiqiang leading the team to achieve the proud record of second place in this year's Asian Cup, there are almost no doubts about the latter's selection and employment, but many people still hope that the 21-year-old scoring champion can get a chance to fight for the country.

In the two matches between South Korea on November 28 and December 1 this year, the Chinese men's basketball team will officially start the World Cup qualifiers. The NCAA start time for the 25-26 season is expected to be in early November. It can be seen that there is a clear time conflict between the two events, so it is very unfortunate that Lin Wei will not be seen wearing the national team's jersey in the short term. What else can you say about

? I wish Lin Wei a smooth journey ahead. When your strength is dazzling enough, the door to any dream will be open to you.
