It is generally believed that Isaiah Wang's style of play meets the needs of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially the scarce all-rounder type. Not only is he good at organizing offenses and scoring, but he also has excellent defensive ability and is well-rounded. What's more, he is young and physically fit and has a lot of potential.
In contrast, domestic national defenders generally have the problem of low physical fitness and technical level, such as Xu Jie, Zhao Jiwei and Jiang Weize, etc., who often become the target of opponents in the game. Although Lee Kaier has been naturalized, he is still lacking in scoring, as has been proven at the World Cup.
It is reported that the Chinese Basketball Association considered introducing Isaiah Wang, but he was still in college at the time and had no experience in the competition, so he failed to get the opportunity. In addition, the 35-year-old McGee and 24-year-old Jordan Poole also expressed their willingness to represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Series, but this wish is difficult to achieve due to the lack of Chinese ancestry.
Although Isaiah Wang is of Chinese descent and willing to join, the Chinese men's basketball team did not have a major tournament to participate in the following year. There is no clear answer as to whether the Chinese Basketball Association will consider naturalizing them.
