The Shanxi team is in contact with an outside gate. Does he really meet the requirements of the CBA for foreign players?

According to some news, the CBA team Shanxi team is in contact with the small foreign aid Justin Simon from the United States, who also has the opportunity to appear in the CBA field for the first time in the new season.

Simon was born in May 1996 and is 29 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He was the undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft. Simon has participated in the NBA Summer League games, but has never appeared in the NBA arena. He played in the NBA Development League for one season in the rookie season, but his overall performance was not particularly outstanding. He has been playing in overseas leagues since then. He has played in the Australian NBL, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1. He has helped his team win the NBL championship and the European Cup basketball league championship (Eurocup). He himself won the NBL best defensive player in 2021 and the Bundesliga best defensive player in 2022. His performance on the defensive end is still quite good.

In the Bundesliga last season, Simon played a total of 32 times, averaging 32.9 minutes per game, averaging 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 31.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and free throw shooting percentage of 59.8%. In the European Cup basketball league last season, Simon played 14 games, averaging 31.9 minutes per game, with averaging 11.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 39.8%, three-point shooting percentage 19.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 46%. It is undeniable that Simon's performance on the defensive end is very outstanding and can be regarded as a top defender, but his performance on the offensive end is also a terrible level. His offensive efficiency is a mess. He is even worse than the blacksmith outside the three-point line, and even his efficiency on the free throw line is a mess. His performance on both offense and defense is really a big gap.

Of course, Simon is also a very distinctive player. His defensive ability is quite amazing. He can also play a certain effect in passing and organizing. However, his performance on the offensive end also determines that he is actually not suitable for the role of a foreign player in the CBA. Next, we can also see how the situation will develop. Obviously, Simon is not suitable for appearing in the CBA arena, or at least not suitable for playing the role of the first or second foreign aid of the CBA team, otherwise he will cause huge trouble to the team on the offensive end. Considering that the number of CBA foreign players will be limited in the new season, will Simon really appear in the CBA arena?
