Kim Si-on (28, 175 cm) moved from Busan BNK to Bucheon Hana One Q in a surprise trade. Kim Si-on, who has melted into a member of Hana One Q after transferring, is preparing for the season with enthusiasm for a new opportunity.

Sion Kim suddenly received a trade notification prior to the 2023-2024 new player selection event held on the 4th. BNK received a first-round draft pick for the 2023-2024 and 2025-2026 seasons and sent Kim Si-on to Hana One Q. Shion Kim said, “I really didn’t know. He was told that morning. He was surprised. I’m really going? “I was very surprised,” he recalled of that time.

Kim Si-on, who can play from guard to forward, played an active role as BNK’s all-round backup until last season. He appeared in every game last season and played 21 minutes and 29 seconds per game, averaging 4.87 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists. Sion Kim led BNK’s leap forward by showing a presence that went beyond objective numbers.스포츠토토

Now, Kim Si-on must stand at the forefront of Hana One Q’s leap forward. Kim Si-on said, “When I looked at it from the outside, I thought Hana 1 Q was lacking one spot, but I thought that would change when (Kim) Jeong-eun joined and filled that spot.” He added, “Now, I can also play in Hana 1 Q. There are many young players. Jeong is her older sister, followed by (Yang) In-young, (Shin) Ji-hyeon, (Kim) Anna, and me. “Because we are seniors, we have to take care of our juniors,” he said.

Shin Ji-hyun, a one-club player from Hana 1Q, is the same person who was nominated for the 2014 new player selection event. Kim Si-on said, “(Shin) Ji-hyun and I have been seeing each other since elementary school. Jihyun likes to break through and take it out, and I look forward to playing with her. “People around me say that Jihyun will help me adapt, but now he is not with the national team,” he said. “I am working hard to adapt alone.” “Everyone except Eom Seo-i came here to say hello, and this is the first time we’ve spoken to each other,” he said with a laugh.

BNK’s Kim Sion and Hana One Q’s Kim Sion are bound to be different. Shion Kim said, “At BNK, I played a role in keeping the young players calm and cool. He also had a tendency to take shots and put them in. However, at Hana 1Q, I think I should be more active in the attack by attracting young players,” he said.

Of course, there is a high possibility that Kim Si-on will play as a starter at Hana One Q rather than a backup. Kim Si-on said, “Coming to Hana 1Q could be a turning point and an opportunity,” adding, “I’m worried about whether he will have enough stamina to play full-time, but when he played a lot at BNK, he played for over 30 minutes. If I were at BNK, I would have talked about challenging for the championship, but my primary goal at Hana 1Q is the playoffs. “I am preparing diligently for the season with the same mindset I had when I first went to BNK,” he said, resolutely determined.
