KBL announced that for the Skill Development Award
Would KBL also have been ashamed of its poor system change? It belatedly announced changes to the "skill development award" and "six man award" after the fifth round.
Earlier this month, the KBL had a surprising news in its press release on the results of the fifth round of the 2023-24 professional basketball league. This is a new summary of the criteria for winning the Competency Development Award and the Sixman Award.
KBL announced that MVP, best 5, rookie award, and best performance award winners are excluded for the skill development award, and MVP, best 5, and rookie award winners are excluded for the Sixman Award.
It seems to have reflected the opinions of those who do not know even 1% of the meaning of professional sports. It is an incomprehensible and logicless institutional change.
Of course, I can understand some parts. I can understand that the MVP, the best five and the winner of the previous best performance award are excluded from the competition award. However, it is hard to know and not understand what made the decision to exclude the Rookie of the Year award.
The Rookie of the Year award is an award that the best rookie can receive within one or two seasons after their debut. Of course, they can be expected even if they do not know basketball. It is common sense to go one step further and become MVP candidates.
This growth story is a key factor in adding to the fun of professional sports. KBL ignored the basics of professional sports and personally proved why they have lost competitiveness at a rapid pace since the era of basketball festivals.
As a result, Oh was excluded from the list even though he was a candidate for the season's strongest competency development award. Oh Jae-hyun, who led the team in the spring basketball league by filling the gap between Kim Sun-hyung and Kim Sun-hyung, showed a tremendous growth this season with 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals during an average of 27 minutes and 11 seconds. Compared to the 2022-23 season, his growth more than doubled, and his share of the team increased more than 10 times. However, he was not even nominated for the competency development award.
The bigger problem is that Oh Jae-hyun's elimination from the competition for skills development is just the beginning. In the future, players who receive the Rookie of the Year award have lost motivation to grow one more level. Because of KBL.
The same applies to the Six Man Award. In the 2017-18 season, Kim won the Six Man Award in the final season of his professional career and ended with a bang. Of course, there were differences of opinion back then, but it was hard to deny that he was a key Six Man who led Wonju DB to No. 1 in the regular league.
There comes a time when any player who wins MVP, Best 5, or Rookie of the Year will eventually become a Sixman. And when they play key roles in the team, there should be a chance to win the Sixman Award. The KBL deprived and ignored them with its own hands.
The biggest problem is that the changes in the standards for the best performance and best performance awards were decided before the opening of the 2023-24 season. Nevertheless, the KBL remained silent until the end of the fifth round. Administration based on dereliction of duty. After all, the damage is down to the players.
The KBL's administrative and institutional changes have been more incomprehensible than they have been. The logic was difficult to find and it was full of deterrence. That's why the downward curve has been constantly being drawn. However, there have been few unexpected announcements that have embarrassed everyone, such as the changes in the standards for the Skills Development Award and the Sixman Award. This is how terrible it is.
Through this system change, there will be more winners of the Skills Development Award and the Sixman Award than before. It seems to be a system change that was attempted to do so. However, it is not known whether the investigators of the Skills Development Award and the Sixman Award will be properly evaluated this season due to the KBL. No, it is hard to receive. The KBL's forced system change eventually shook the players and deprived them of motivation. It is undeniable. I wonder if there is a revival and success of KBL in the minds of those who attempted and approved the system change. 토토사이트
