The current situation of Chinese NCAA players, Lin Wei and Zhao Weilun are in an embarrassing situation, only three of them have hope!

In the 2025-26 NCAA League, 11 Chinese players have joined. So far, among the men's and women's basketball teams, only Wang Junjie, Dan Houran and Deng Yuting are still hopeful. The current situation of Lin Wei and Zhao Weilun is extremely embarrassing. Chinese outside players have natural shortcomings when they study abroad. This is why we only have inside players who can make a name for themselves in high-level leagues.

Lin Wei and Zhao Weilun are in an embarrassing situation.

Looking at the data, it becomes clear. Lin Wei has made only 1 of 18 shots in the past four games and missed all 11 three-pointers. His average playing time per game dropped to 7-8 minutes and he only scored 2.3 points. After the start of the regular season, his performance dropped significantly, with 0 of 11 three-pointers. This is obviously not the state that a defender should have. Moreover, the further the University of Oregon goes, the stronger its opponents become, and Lin Wei's next playing time will be worrying.

Zhao Weilun's statistics are very simple. He made his regular season debut on November 4. He came on as a substitute for 14 minutes and scored 4 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal on 1-of-3 shooting. He did not get a chance to play in the next three games. He and Wang Junjie are players of the same age group, so don't think they are young people. I don’t know what motivated Zhao Weilun to choose the school in the first place. At present, his status in this team is not high, and the head coach is not prepared to vigorously train him.

Inside players have hope

Compared to outside players, inside players have greater hope. Wang Junjie’s statistics and performance in the past four games: Season debut on November 4: Started for 16 minutes, made 4 of 6 shots and efficiently contributed 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. On November 9th, against Against the University of Memphis: Started 15 minutes, only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds on 1 of 7 shots. Against Portland State on November 13: 1 of 5 shots in 15 minutes, scored 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. November 16 "China Derby" (VS Bradley University): Started 17 minutes on 2 of 6 shots, contributed 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

Dan Houran's statistics: November 4, the first game of the season against the University of Denver: started for 17 minutes, scored 2 points, 7 rebounds and 3 turnovers on 1-of-6 shooting. November 9th against Cal Poly: Started 8 minutes, scored 0 points, only 2 rebounds, committed 3 fouls and 4 turnovers. November 13 against Eastern Wash.: Started for 8 minutes (limited due to foul), scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal on 3-of-4 shooting. November 16th against Idaho St.: Started 13 minutes, made all 3 shots (including two dunks), contributed 6 points and 1 block.

Deng Yuting's statistics: In her first game against Duke University, she scored 2 points and 1 rebound on 1 shot in 6 minutes. In the second game, she scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in 20 minutes as a substitute. November 15th: Against the University of Las Vegas, he scored 8 points and 1 rebound on 4-of-5 shooting as a substitute in 13 minutes, setting a season high. November 17: Baylor University defeated its opponent 99:43. Deng Yuting came off the bench for 24 minutes and contributed 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks on 3-of-7 shooting.

Compared to outside players, NCAA inside players from China have relatively stable playing time and their performance has steadily improved. But currently only Wang Junjie, Dan Houran and Deng Yuting can have stable playing time, and they still have some hope. Judging from their current performance, Lin Wei, Zhao Weilun and others have little hope of being able to gain a foothold in the NCAA or even enter the NBA in the future. What do you think of this?
