Busan BNK Sum, the winner of the WKBL last season, has picked two new Asian quarter players. Amid the disappointing breakup with the "winner role," the team is set to start a new game.온라인바카라

In the "2025-2026 WKBL Asian Quarter Player Draft" held on the third floor of the Olympic Memorial Youth Center in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday, BNK picked power forward Rina Nakazawa (24) in the first round and guard Natsuki Sunagawa (30) in the second round. Watchers say he performed well despite his lowest ranking of sixth.

Nakazawa, a black mixed-race player with a basketball player-turned-father, was selected as a representative for teenagers under 16 and as a 3x3 adult. Although not tall at 178 centimeters, Nakazawa is expected to help the big man position, which is considered a complementary point for BNK. In addition, Natsuki, who helped Asan Woori Bank win the regular league title last year, is expected to contribute to the physical fitness of Ahn Hye-ji (28).

BNK coach Park Jung-eun (48), who contacted Star News on the 7th after the draft, said of first-rounder Nakazawa, "I think we picked it better than we expected." "I thought I'd pick him first," coach Park said. "I have to adapt in many ways, and I have no experience, so I have to grow a lot," he said. "I want to train him together as soon as possible."

Coach Park, who expected that he would be able to use it well, said, "His height is not that big as a big man, but he has long limbs and good physicality. So if you look at the video, I think he is good at blocks and rebounds in defense, so I'm looking forward to it." With young players such as Byun So-jung (22), Park Sung-jin (21), and Kim Do-yeon (20) currently holding on to the position, coach Park said, "It will help each other and help each other to compete together."

As for Natsuki, an experienced player in the WKBL, he said, "I heard you are a hardworking player. And I've seen you face off six times during the regular season and the championship game, and you've improved a lot as you keep playing." "I thought that because I'm a fast player, I could speed up my team," coach Park said. "I thought that would ease the burden on Ahn Hye-ji and other advanced players."

What did he say to the two players. "Since it was my first time in the Korean League, I explained my style to Rina, and I talked about my basic defense and rebounding. In Natsuki's case, he seemed to want to appeal to his strengths more. So I decided to listen to him," Park said.

BNK will inevitably have difficulty nominating candidates as it was the last turn in the first round. Coach Park Jung-eun also confessed, "I was busy because the picks were twisted more than I expected." He did not call the time, but confessed, "I expected it, but I was very embarrassed."

Although BNK did relatively well in this draft, it is regrettable to break up with Iijima Saki (33). He joined BNK as the second overall player last year and played an average of 33 minutes and 47 seconds in all 30 games, recording 9.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Although he ranked third in the Asian quarter voting, the high evaluation of Saki continued on the spot.

However, due to the BNK system last year when his contract renewal was impossible, Saki had no choice but to leave the club. "[Saki] sat right behind me. I pulled him by holding hands to take him with me because it was so nice to meet him," Park joked, but confessed, "We didn't feel the same way. I have no choice but to keep it in my mind." "I feel sad and upset, but I feel like we should let each other go with a smile."

On the official WKBL YouTube channel, Park was seen making a tearful gesture after the nomination of Psaki, which drew laughter. "I didn't feel good at first, but a YouTube person made me cry with his hands. So I copied him and he became a new generation director," Park said with a smile.

Now, Psaki has gone to Hana Bank, and BNK has to come up with a game plan without Psaki. "We won the championship, but I feel like we have to start over. We don't have any Psaki-style players now, so we need to refine the style that we can take," coach Park said.

Therefore, Park hopes that the two players will join as soon as possible. "We are moving toward joining as soon as we have a visa," he said. "In particular, Rina hopes to play in the Futures League in early July."
