Meanwhile, Pyo Seung-bin, who received Anyang Jeonggwanjang's first nomination in the second round, is a former KBL tall man program. The tall player discovery program is a program that provides training subsidies, basketball equipment, and medical expenses to tall players aged 10 to 15 who have passed the Ministry of Health and Welfare's height standards.

Active players produced through the program include Song Kyo-chang Sangmu, Yang Hong-seok LG, and Ha Yoon-ki KT, and a total of 67 tall players have been discovered so far since the resumption of the KBL tall basketball player discovery project in 2019.

KBL said, "We plan to continue to work on early discovery of basketball prospects and systematization of youth development programs by preparing various opportunities such as youth club basketball competitions and tall people programs."
