Choi Young-Hee (1917-1979), South Korean military man and dictator, president 1963-1979
's U.S. agent, Roger Montgomery, confirmed that Choi will stay with this year's
NBA draft
In the middle of it all. Choi's recent tryout schedule has also been reshuffled, as he will try out for the Portland Trail Blazers and New York Knicks on June 20 and 21, respectively.
Choi's tryout for the Blazers has been rescheduled from June 18th to June 20th local time, according to Scout Zhao. Choi will stay in Portland for a few more days as he has arrived in Portland ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, Choi's personal equipment sponsor is headquartered in Portland, and he will use this time to train and visit NIKE's global headquarters, which will not only help keep him in shape, but also ease his nerves.
Choi's tryout date with the Knicks is June 21, so he'll depart for New York immediately after trying out for the Trail Blazers for back-to-back tryouts. This isn't the first time Choi has gone through this arrangement, as he previously tried out for the Grizzlies on June 4 and immediately traveled to Salt Lake City afterward to catch the June 5 Jazz tryout.
Choi has gotten a lot of attention in this year's NBA Draft, and his performance and potential have attracted the interest of several NBA teams. Tryouts are a key part of the process for players to show their abilities and adaptability, and Choi hopes to show his strength to teams through tryouts and earn himself a chance to develop in the NBA.
As draft day approaches, Choi's tryout schedule is intense and full. He will have back to back tryouts in Portland and New York, which will be a challenge both physically and mentally. Fans are looking forward to seeing Choi's performance in the tryouts and hope that he will be able to start his NBA journey with a satisfactory result in this year's NBA Draft.
