But Felton had obvious deficiencies—his style of play wasn't that of a core player.
The North Carolina Fab Four were four lottery-level talents, none of whom played as the core at college but instead played a team basketball style with mutual cooperation.
This gave Bickerstaff headaches, as Felton seemed unable to replace Brevin Knight as the tactical core.
Sometimes, a rookie being too mature can also be a problem.
Gerald Wallace shone the brightest in the team's internal training games, with his Drive Attack ability greatly improved compared to last season.
Zhang Yang brought Bickerstaff the kind of surprise he had never felt before.
During the initial joint practice phase, Zhang Yang performed moderately. His strengths included quickly memorizing tactical movements and powerful execution, indicating good memory, a sense of space on the court, and obedience to commands.
