The top rookie, who was nominated as the first overall pick, will make his professional debut. The opposing coach is also a talent that shows caution.

Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang and Seoul SK met at the regular league of LG Electronics' professional basketball from 2025 to 2026 at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul at 4:30 p.m. on the 1st.

Moon Yoo-hyun (21), who has been out of his team due to injury since he was selected as the No. 1 overall rookie draft in 2025, will make his debut in the articles of association. In the draft held in November, Moon Yoo-hyun entered splendidly, writing the first record of being the first overall brother after his brother Moon Jung-hyun (24, Suwon KT). However, the injury forced him to concentrate on rehabilitation while his teammates were on the court.

Ahead of the game, Yu Do-hoon, head coach of Jeong Kwan-jang, did not hide his expectations for Moon Yoo-hyun. "If Moon Yoo-hyun is deployed, he will almost take on the role of No. 1 (point guard)," he said. "Even if he plays with his brothers, he is prepared to serve as the starting point of the attack as the main handler who catches and carries or operates the ball first."

When asked about the comparison with national guard Kim Nak-hyun (SK), who he raised himself during his time at Incheon Electronic Land in the past, coach Yoo-hoon jokingly said, "Isn't it different from the order?" and added, "If Kim Nak-hyun is a guard who is strong in shooting, Moon Yoo-hyun is the type who can do many things. "He is a guard who has a different charm than (Kim) Nak-hyun."

He also did not forget the warm advice for his debut student after a long wait. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said, "He's a player who has done everything good in college, including receiving MVP and being selected as the No. 1 player. As soon as he came to the professional league, he must have been hurt a lot, he said. "I told him to be comfortable thinking it was a process to become a more player." I wonder what the court balance will be like due to a slight lack of normal five-to-five training, but I will watch it regardless."

SK coach Jeon Hee-chul also highly evaluated Moon Yoo-hyun's talent. Coach Jeon Hee-chul said, "I faced him in a practice game when I was an interim coach of the national team, and the rhythm was definitely different. He is a really good player," he said, expressing caution.
