As Moon Jung-hyun (left, Suwon kt), the No. 1 player in the 2023 KBL rookie draft, supplemented his shooting power and got on track, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Park Moo-bin (center) and Changwon LG Yoo Ki-sang (right) created a three-way race for the rookie of the year between the same age born in 2001.

Taking individual and team performance together on Tuesday, the number of candidates for the Rookie of the Year award in this season's professional basketball competition has effectively narrowed down to three. Moon took the last train in the race as he scored 16 points in a home game against Hyundai Mobis during the 2023-24 regular season at KT Arena in Suwon on Sunday. KT also won 103-99 and won six games in February, marking a steep upward curve.

After starting the game on the bench, Moon received a pass from Choi Chang-jin as soon as he was replaced by Lee Doo-won early in the second quarter, and scored a three-point shot. Then, he successfully scored one-on-one attacks in front of Jang Jae-seok, the opposing center, before adding an outer shot. Moon scored three points, which was a four-point deficit with two minutes left in the game, to seal the victory. Moon scored four 3-pointers with an 80 percent success rate, which is the most successful as an individual. He also increased the field goal success rate (41.82 percent), which was criticized as a weakness, to 4.59 points on average. "I am satisfied with my recent performance. I will continue to contribute to my team's victory and become a candidate for Rookie of the Year," Moon said after the game.

Park, who is considered the best candidate for the Rookie of the Year award, struggled with 10 points and five assists while playing for nearly 33 minutes, but her team's defeat faded. However, Park ranks first among all rookie players in average playing time (24 minutes and 9 seconds), scoring (9.21 points) and assisting (4.42 points) per game in this season. Showing off her outstanding skills, Park will play in the preliminary round of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup with the national flag on her head.

LG Yoo Ki-sang, the only player among the three players to play in the All-Star Game, also leads the outside attack with a high-sensitivity three-point shot with a success rate of more than 40 percent after securing the main position with accurate shooting and defense. Although his scoring ability has slowed recently, he survived with 12 points in the match against Hyundai Mobis on the 12th. However, he lost to Park Moo-bin, who scored 15 points and eight assists, and LG also suffered 95-98.

Teams that have three most promising contenders for the Rookie of the Year award are all competing in the playoff stable zone (sixth place). With KT solidifying its second place, the team is in favor of Moon Jung-hyun, but Park Moo-bin and Yoo Ki-sang are ahead in individual records.
