On August 13, Shanghai media "Xinmin Evening News" reported that the two small foreign players of Shanghai Jiushi Men's Basketball Team in the new season have been confirmed, namely Blackney + Waters.

Xinmin Evening News reported: Shanghai Jiushi Men's Basketball Team has confirmed two young foreign players for the new season! In addition to the super scorer Blakeney who played for Nanjing Tongxi last season, Waters, who just represented Puerto Rico in the Paris Olympics, has also confirmed his joining.

Last season, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team mainly relied on two young foreign players, Bledsoe and Bacon, to finally achieve the sixth place in the regular season. However, with the changes of subjective and objective factors, both of them will leave the CBA. Bacon has signed with the Russian League club Zenit St. Petersburg. As for Bledsoe, he wants to fight for another chance to return to the NBA, and he is too old.

Previously, there was news that Blackney signed with Shanghai. Next season, the CBA will most likely implement a rule of seven foreign players in four quarters, so the Shanghai club finally decided on the younger and more energetic Waters.

Last season, Waters performed very well in the Guangdong team's regular season, averaging 22.3 minutes per game, contributing 20.8 points, 5.8 assists, 1.9 steals, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.6%, averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game.
