“I’m going to give it a try,” Cui said. While waiting for the results of the show, I was so nervous that I wanted to throw up. It was like years.” When the draft results came out, he was prepared: “I admit that I envy the selected players, there are only so many draft positions, your competition goes up, you have to wait in place, and then ask yourself are you willing to continue to insist?”
After the draft, Choe chose the Exhibit 10 contract with the Blazers, and although it was only a training camp deal, there were still plenty of players vying for it. “The players are running for the contract, everyone is desperate to fight, on the court with 200 percent of the strength against you, you can not let up for a moment,” Cui said.
He added: “To be realistic, if you want to stay overseas, you have to make a determination that you will earn less money than you did at your old club. You are trading money for progress, which I think makes sense.”
