Korea Gas Corporation's Shin Seung-min (25, 195.4 centimeters) is preparing to switch to No. 3 (small forward) this season. This is to compensate for Shin Seung-min's weaknesses and maximize his strengths.

"Shin Seung-min played four times (power forward) to college," said Kang Hyuk, head coach of Korea Gas Corporation. Since he is short (compared to position), I thought it would be better to switch to No. 3 quickly, he said. "If you are larger than the opponent's No. 3, you can do it with a big height in a mismatch, and (Shin) Seung-min has good strength." 스포츠토토

Shin Seung-min, from Yonsei University, wore the Korea Gas Corporation uniform as the eighth overall rookie draft in 2021. After his professional debut, he played backup roles such as Lee Dae-heon and Jeong Hyo-geun (currently Jeonggwanjang). However, ahead of this season, he hung on to training as No. 3. It was also an opportunity to play as a key player. Manager Kang said, "Seungmin worked hard in the offseason. That's how much we're given the opportunity," he said.

Shin Seung-min, who played 50 games in both his professional debut season and last season, played 14 to 15 minutes per game. He scored 3.6 points per game in the first season and 4.8 points per game last season. This season, he is scoring nine points per game while playing more 24 minutes and 24 seconds. He has a success rate of 38.1% by actively throwing 3-pointers with No. 3.

Coach Kang said, "If Seungmin steps out as No. 3, he will also show his power when he is switched to guard defense. It's strong, and it has speed. Since it is larger than guards, it is also a pressure that is ahead of the opponent, he said. "The success rate of 3-point shots is not bad, and post-ups are made depending on the mismatch situation."

Shin Seung-min said, "I think I'm making progress. "There are still times when defensive judgment is slow, but I will try harder," he said. Coach Kang, who is giving passing points to Shin Seung-min, who is playing as the third player this season, also said, "If this outfit (No. 3) fits him better, he will show better performance in the future."
