Professional basketball in the 2023-2024 season is nearing its end.
The winners of the regular season league and the teams that advance to the semifinals of the playoffs have been decided. What is left is individual competition. In particular, competition for the rookie of the year award is heating up. Moon Jung-hyun (kt), the top draft pick, Park Moo-bin (Hyundai Mobis), and Yoo Ki-sang (LG) are fiercely competing.
It was compressed into a three-way battle, but in fact, it is a two-way system between Yoo Ki-sang and Park Moo-bin.
Yoo has recorded 8.3 points and 2.2 rebounds by playing 23 minutes and 28 seconds on average in 48 games. He recorded 90 three-point shots, breaking the record for the most three-point shots by a rookie in history. The previous record was Shin Ki-sung in the 1998-1999 season and Kim Min-koo's 88 in the 2013-2014 season. The success rate of three-point shots is also 43.5 percent.
Although he has been known as a shooter since college, he has been recognized as a professional defense player. In addition, LG's performance may be affected. LG ranks second with 33 wins and 17 losses, and Hyundai Mobis ranks sixth with 25 wins and 24 losses.
LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, "It is absolutely right that Yoo Ki-sang receives the award. The role is not important. There is a clear difference in defense and team contribution. The team's performance is also far higher. He is second to none."
Park has 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 31 games, playing an average of 24 minutes and 25 seconds. Although his debut was delayed due to injury, he has displayed his skills to the point where he was selected as a member of the national team. He ranks first in scoring, rebounding, and assisting among rookies.

Hyundai Mobis coach Cho Dong-hyun said, "Park Moo-bin's rookie guard overcomes the pressure and leads the team. He needs to get more points in this regard. Everyone acknowledges that he is a member of the national team."
Moon posted 4.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 48 games, while playing an average of 15 minutes and 45 seconds. He showed versatility, but he also became the target of his opponent's sadging defense. KT manager Song Young-jin defended him by saying, "Moon Jung-hyun is the rookie of the year in my heart."
