Hana OneQ which even caught Jinan, built the strongest Twin Tower

Hana OneQ has recruited Jinan, a national team center who is considered one of the biggest fish in the FA market.

Hana One Q's club announced on its official SNS on the 12th that it signed an FA contract with center Jinan, who received FA qualifications, on the condition of a total annual salary of 360 million won (300 million won per year + 60 million per year) for a four-year contract period. After the FA market was held, Hana One Q, which cracked down on all of its "house rabbits" by signing contracts with internal FA Yang In-young, Kim Si-on and Kim Dan-ah in turn, greatly strengthened its power by recruiting Jinan, the "elite center," who ranked second in contribution this season, following the fourth in contribution last season.

Jinan, who played in all 30 regular league games as the main center of BNK Thumb this season, scored 17.5 points (3rd), 10.43 rebounds (10.43 points), and 2.70 assists, ranking second (974.40 points) in contribution after Park Ji-soo (1283.90 points). Jinan said, "I thought a lot about it after becoming a second FA, and I wanted to learn basketball in a new place and grow further, so I chose to move. I am looking forward to a new challenge at Hana One Q, and I will become a player who will definitely contribute to the team."

Jinan, who was drafted by BNK's predecessor KDB Life Winners with the second overall pick in the 2015-2016 rookie draft, played more games on the bench than on the starting lineup in the four seasons after joining the professional league. Then, when BNK was founded in 2019, Jinan also played a key role in earnest, and gradually began to explode its potential, scoring 9.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in the 2019-2020 season. And Jinan's great performance began in the 2020-2021 season, when the foreign player system was removed from the WKBL.

Jinan emerged as a young center representing WKBL with 16.7 points and 9.9 rebounds in the 2020-2021 season, and led BNK's first spring basketball advancement with 17.1 points and 9.4 rebounds in the 2021-2022 season. And in the 2022-2023 season, when KB fell to fifth place due to Park Ji-soo's absence, he led BNK's second place in the championship by ranking first in rebounds with 13.2 points and 10.6 rebounds. Jinan was the only player in the league to record a double-double (average double-digit record in two categories) in the 2022-2023 season.

During the 2022-2023 season, some basketball fans disparaged Jinan's performance, saying, "A fox named Jinan played a big yellow in a cave without a tiger named Park Ji-soo." However, Jinan also recorded 17.5 points and 10.4 rebounds this season when Park Ji-soo returned healthy, making it the second consecutive Double-Double Season. In fact, only Park Ji-soo and Jinan recorded double-double for two consecutive seasons.

BNK, which finished second in the championship last season, lost face as it fell to the bottom of the standings this season. However, Jinan ranked second in the contribution category, beating over Kim Dan-bi (967.60 points) and Park Ji-hyun (964.30 points), who led Woori Bank's Woori WON team for two consecutive years. He boosted his value to the fullest through his best performance in the season ahead of the second FA Cup. In fact, Jinan emerged as the biggest contributor among the 20 players who participated in the FA market this time.

Hana One Q had a meaningful season by advancing to the playoffs for the first time since its foundation. However, its regular league record was 10 wins and 20 losses, with a winning percentage of only .333. The team had a whopping 17 matches against KB, the No. 1 player in the regular league, in the playoffs. In the end, Hana One Q finished its spring basketball schedule with just three games without having a chance to use its strength against KB in the playoffs. It was definitely a season that left some regrets just to be satisfied with the fact that it played basketball for the first time in its spring.

Hana OneQ, which made its first playoff entry by recruiting veteran Kim Jong-un to the squad led by young players in their 20s, is aiming for another leap forward next season by recruiting Jinan in the FA market. This season, Hana OneQ, which had a slightly weak under-the-table record of 10.4 rebounds and 48.4% of the two-point shooting success rate, was added to Hana OneQ, which ranked fifth in the team's rebound (36.8) and fourth in the two-point shooting success rate (44%) in the regular league.

Hana One Q has Yang In-young, the main center of the team, who signed an FA contract with Hana One Q for a three-year contract period and an annual salary of 300 million won on the 9th. On top of that, veteran Kim Jong-un played as the main power forward and ranked second (5.11) in rebounds in the team. However, if Jinan joins and plays as a power forward and center alternately with Yang In-young or plays as a "twintower," the burden on the team against Hana One Q will increase significantly, and the burden on the veteran Kim Jong-un will be greatly reduced in offense and defense.

Whether Park Ji-soo will go overseas is also expected to be a big variable for Hana One Q next season. Park Ji-soo, who dominated the league by winning eight gold medals this season, talked about his desire to go overseas at the regular league awards ceremony on the 4th. If Park Ji-soo succeeds in going overseas and fails to play in the WKBL next season in KB uniform, Hanawon Q's Jinan and Yang In-young are more likely to command the league with stronger under-the-goal duos. This means that Hanawon Q's under-the-goal has become stronger due to Jinan's recruitment.

On the other hand, BNK's already weak team will be hit hard by the departure of Jinan, who had the unrivaled top scorer and rebound in the team this season. In addition, BNK may have additional power leaks as Ahn Hye-ji, the "assist queen" and Kim Han-byul, the all-weather forward, are qualified as FA. For BNK, it is necessary to minimize the weakening of the team's power by selecting players who are essential to the team in the designation of compensatory players excluding four protected players.
