While former BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is in the middle of a playoff run with the Shanghai Sharks, he is already eyeing his next move once the season is over, according to a tweet from Adrian Wojnarowski. And it's a well-deserved opportunity if it materializes.

Fredette, who was named the CBA's International MVP Tuesday, has carried the Sharks to a 2-1 lead in the best-of-5 first-round series with the Shenzhen Leopards even though he missed the first game for the birth of his first child.

He has been the catalyst for a Sharks' turnaround that saw them go from 18-20 in 2015-16 to 30-8 and a tie for second in the regular-season standings in '16-17.
