Goyang Son Skygunners have finally completed the puzzle of foreign players for the upcoming new season.

On the 1st, Son announced through official club materials that "we have signed Johnny Obrient (33), who has proven his skills over three seasons on the KBL stage, as the team's second foreign player option and finalized the roster composition."

According to the club, Son head coach Son Chang-hwan evaluated Obrient as "a stretch big man with clear strengths in mid-range games based on one-on-one post-up skills and outside three-point shooting," and explained the background of the signing, stating, "If he integrates well into the team system, we expect him to show explosive synergy in Son's sought-after spacing offense."

Obrient, boasting a solid physique of 203cm in height and 115kg in weight, is the owner of an impressive career. After being selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the 6th pick in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft, he played four seasons in the NBA. Subsequently, he accumulated rich veteran experience by playing in various high-level leagues around the world, including the EuroLeague, the Philippines (PBA), and China (CBA).

He is also a very familiar face to KBL fans. Obrient made his debut on the Korean stage wearing the uniform of Wonju DB Promy during the 2021-2022 season, and then joined Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters in the middle of the 2024-2025 season, three years later, making a decisive contribution to the team's advancement to the six-team playoffs.

In particular, during the previous 2025-2026 season, he fully displayed the qualities of a "top-tier foreign player" as Jung Kwan Jang's first option. He appeared in 53 regular-season games, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, and recorded 16.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and a 30.4% three-point shooting percentage per game, dominating both inside and outside. Under his outstanding performance, Son secured second place in the regular season and made a stunning run directly to the four-team playoffs.

Obrient, who has newly settled with Son, said, "I am very happy to join a strong team that achieved the great feat of a 10-game winning streak and a runner-up finish last season," and added, "We will carry forward that intense momentum into the upcoming new season and do our best on the court to aim for the club's first-ever championship. We also want to gift more victories to the passionate fans, 'WINNERs'."

Meanwhile, with Obrient's addition, Goyang Son has completed its roster for the next season and will gather on the 13th to begin its first official training to challenge for the new season championship.
