Australia's top media also received positive reviews

Lee Hyun-joong (23, Illawarra Hawks) is regaining his original advantage of scoring outside the top class through his debut season in the Australian professional basketball NBL. In the 2023-24 season, Lee Hyun-joong is playing with an average of seven Australian professional basketball games ▲ 14.3 minutes ▲ 5.9 points ▲ 4.3 rebounds ▲ 48.4% field goal success rate ▲ 3 points accuracy rate of 47.1% ▲ 100% free throw success rate. In the NBL, all three-pointers were made 17 times and hit eight times. It's much better than the 2022-23 NBA G League (minor league) record when the Santa Cruz Warriors averaged 17.6 minutes and 14/48 (29.2%) in 12 games News agency AAP introduced "Lee Hyun-joong, a Korean ace who is igniting the Illawarra Hawks scoring ability," and the daily newspaper "Daily Telegraph" introduced Australian readers as "a foreign player from Korea who has both clean shooting touch and explosive power." With a history of 88 years, AAP is Australia's most trusted media outlet. The local newspaper Illawarra Mercury gave Lee Hyun-joong the nickname "Asian Sharp-Shooter." Lee Hyun-joong was selected as the best 5 in the 2021-22 NCAA Division 1 A10 Conference by Davison's basketball team. The outer shooting, which he uses with a barefoot height of 201cm, was cited as his biggest strength. Through the 2020-21 NCAA Basketball First Division, the team achieved 50-40-90 and broke Davison University's highest three-point success rate (44.2%) in a single season. The 50-40-90 club must satisfy all of the ▲field goal success rate of 50% ▲ 3-point accuracy of 40% ▲ free throw success rate of 90%. At that time, Lee Hyun-joong topped the A10 conference ▲ effective shooting success rate ▲ contribution to victory in the offensive sector ▲ court margin compared to average players in the offensive sector ▲ offensive rating. ▲ 2nd in player efficiency index per 40 minutes ▲ 4th in player efficiency index ▲ 4th in court margin compared to average players, Lee Hyun-joong in the 2020-21 season was one of the most effective strikers in the A10 conference. As a third grader, Davidson was the top player in the 2021-22 A10 conference, ranking ▲ 3rd in scoring efficiency ▲ 4th in scoring productivity ▲ 5th in scoring contribution ▲ 6th in field goal success rate ▲ 10th in free throw accuracy. However, after injuring his left ankle and ligament during a workout with the NBA a week before the 2022 National Basketball Rookie Draft, the three-point shooting success rate has struggled for a while, as shown by G League statistics. This is why the 2023-24 NBL record is coming very positively. Lee Hyun-joong ranked sixth in defensive rebounds at the A10 Conference in the final season of American college basketball, proving that he can use the height not only for offense but also for the other side. The same is true of 10.8 rebounds in 36 minutes of Australian professional basketball this season.
