Summary:
Yongxi Cui, also known as Jacky Cui, is an athletic, skilled swingman that currently plays for the Guangzhou Loong Lions in the Chinese Basketball Association. He was invited to play in the 2024 G-League Elite Camp, and he had a solid first scrimmage game at that event. He can score in a variety of ways, and he also can make some surprisingly athletic plays on both ends of the floor. He’s flown under the radar as a draft prospect, but he could be an intriguing pick for an NBA team in the second round if he decides to stay in the 2024 draft.
