Tran Dang Khoa (Saigon Heat)
When it seemed that Tran Dang Khoa would be absent from the 2022 VBA, William Tran’s delayed recovery from his injury gave Khoa an opportunity.
Khoa’s dribbles and disruption against the opponents’ defense created a lot of space for his teammates to score.
Khoa made his return to the Saigon Heat at a time when the team needed him the most.Â
His experience at the VBA since the establishment of the tournament helped the Saigon Heat defend its position at the top of the group stage and then win the 2022 VBA championship in style.
