With the likely event that we will loose ccj should we just give up on him and pursue chol instead or should we just let them both leave and see how lucky we get pick wise?
We've only seen glimpses in pre-season, regular season, and highlight videos from his college days and therefore can't get too carried away, but it's not just his pace, height, and dribbling skills I like. What's great about Chol is that he makes runs behind the defense and invites passes into threatening spaces (I LOVED the fact that he got called for offisides a couple times vs. Chicago - if you're not getting a few of those, you're not playing aggressively enough), he tries to attack the space in and around the 18-yard box with his dribbling and passing, and he's not afraid to shoot.
Taken in aggregate, he is the ONLY guy that seems to break our frustrating pattern of endless negative passing while only playing the ball to the wings and attempting Hail Mary crosses into the box vs. a defense that is set and ready to defend.
Small sample size, but I honestly believe he does more to open up our offense than anyone we've played on the wing this year and that includes Barco and Damm. And, I strongly suspect he hasn't come close to his ceiling just yet. He's a bit of a late bloomer and, with more minutes, he could develop into a very productive MLS player.
Hello Reddit, my name is Kang Chol-hwan. For ten years I was a prisoner at Yodok political prison camp in North Korea. My family and I were sent there after my grandfather was accused of treason by the Kim regime.
5 years ago, I did a Q&A on Reddit about the living conditions in North Korea. In 2020, I've decided to do the same.
Since escaping North Korea, I have become a journalist, author, and human rights activist. I am the founder of the North Korea Strategy Center, an NGO whose goal is to advocate for free media and press in North Korea. We target North Koreans directly by sending external media such as movies, documentaries, and dramas inside the country. To learn more about NKSC please visit our website and like our Facebook page.

I have also started 2 Youtube Channels- κ°μ² νTV and Aquariums of PyongYang, in Korean and English respectively. My team and I use the channels to discuss about North Korean politics and we hope to expand our topics to our international audience.
