As the new season of the CBA League is getting closer, all teams are constantly adjusting their lineups and trying to find stronger and more suitable foreign players to fill the gaps in their lineups. At this time, the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team quietly confirmed its two foreign players for next season, namely Blakeney and Waters.

Blackney previously played for Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team. He is a good player, a bit like Franklin before he was seriously injured. Blackney has a good body shape, good personal offensive ability, and good passing vision. It can be said that Blackney can play the role of an excellent outside ball handler and can serve as the ball-control core of the Shanghai team.

Another foreign player, Waters, is an offensive attacker. Waters became famous in the Basketball World Cup last year, and was awarded a contract by the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. But last season, Waters failed to perform better. His body was indeed a bit of a disadvantage, and he was unable to help the Guangdong team perform well at the most critical moment.

Because of this, the Guangdong team did not exercise Waters' priority renewal right, and they planned to start over in terms of foreign aid selection. In the Paris Olympics, Waters continued to play for the Puerto Rican men's basketball team and performed well, averaging 10.3 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, but his offensive efficiency was not high, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 26.7%.
