Stretch-type big men who throw even three-point shots in modern basketball have become more widely utilized. However, traditional big men still hold value. Kim Jong-kyu (DB), Ha Yoon-ki (KT), and Lee Seung-hyun (KCC) have expanded the scope of their team's tactics by defending foreign players.

Big men measuring 200 centimeters tall can be seen throwing 3-pointers frequently. Deedrick Lawson, Kang Sang-jae (DB), and Paris Bath (KT) threw 3-pointers to the KBL as well. However, traditional big men who are guarding the bottom of the net are also playing their part and showing off their presence.

Kim Jong-gyu is one of the main players who made a leap to No. 1 in the DB regular league this season. DB manager Kim Joo-sung entrusted Kim Jong-gyu with rebound and defense of foreign players, which allowed Didrick Lawson and Kang Sang-gyu to go out to the outside to throw shots.

KT Ha Yoon-gi

Ha Yoon-ki also helped Bath make a soft landing in the KBL by keeping it firmly under the basket. Bath, who is showing off his outstanding scoring ability, scored as much as he could, both inside and outside thanks to Ha Yoon-ki. Without Ha Yoon-ki, Bath had to play with the burden of defense under the basket. 안전놀이터

KCC Lee Seung Hyun

Lee has also been recognized as a "big man" who can defend foreigners. In the championship game, Lee blocked Bath and even scored a point in the place of victory, helping his team win the championship.

In addition, SK Oh Se-geun and Choi Bu-kyung, Hyundai Mobis Ham Ji-hoon and Jang Jae-seok, and Jeonggwanjang Jonghyun Lee are also proving the value of authentic big men.
