Guo Ailun (Chinese: 郭艾伦; pinyin: Guō Àilún born November 14, 1993) is a Chinese basketball player who plays for Liaoning Flying Leopards of the Chinese Basketball Association and for the Chinese national team.
In July 2009, Guo attended LeBron James' Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio while already part of the Liaoning Hunters organisation, impressing some observers with his ball handling, dynamism and court vision.
His international exploits over the 2010 summer (see below) pushed the league in creating a clause that allowed the then 17-year old to play in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) despite being underage. He made his debut for Liaoning on 12 December 2010 against Qingdao DoubleStar with 10 points and 2 rebounds, finishing the season with averages of 10.3 points and 3.1 assists in 26 minutes per game. By the end of his rookie season, he was selected for the CBA All-star Rookie Challenge, posting 28 points and 6 assists on his way to a game MVP title.
Guo was a late addition to the April 2011 Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Oregon. Struggling with communication (he reportedly spoke no English whatsoever) he impressed scouts in practice with his dedication and skill but had a quiet game against Team USA, going 1 from 5 in the field and committing two turnovers.
The 2011–12 CBA season ended with figures of 8.6 points, 3.2 assists and 2 rebounds in around 21 minutes per game for Guo as Liaoning again failed to make the playoffs. For the second year running, he took part in the Rookie Challenge, leading all players with 30 points in addition to 6 assists on his way to a second game MVP award. Also during the CBA All-Star Weekend, he won the Skills challenge after completing it in 32.7 seconds.
