12:51pm, 19 May 2025【Basketball】

In the stadium of Chicago's joint trial,

Yang Hansen performed in the first quarter of the 5V5 match, made 5 goals in 7 shots in 19 minutes, made 1 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw.

The data of 12 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block is not considered explosive, but the efficiency is eye-catching.

He is not moving fast, but he can always get stuck in position.

He hit the ground with one hand and passed the ball to his empty-cut teammate, assisting to score easily.

He raised his long arms to interfere with his opponent's shot at the defensive end. A big hat from the bench caused a burst of exclamation on the bench.

The scout report states his weakness: the horizontal movement speed is average, and the reversal running score is at the end.

But his predictions in actual combat make up for the shortcomings.

He appeared again the next day.

made 3 of 4 shots in 18 minutes, 5 of 7 free throws, 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block.

His passing vision made the live commentator praise repeatedly.

In one fast break, he accurately passed the ball to find the bottom corner shooter, and the other time he attracted double teammates on his back and passed the ball to his open teammates.

The six assists all came from different tactical cooperation.

He has a positive frontcourt rebound, pointing the ball in the crowd three times.

made two more mistakes than the previous day, but the control was not bad when the ball rights increased.

NBA Draft Room updated the mock draft list, and his name appeared at the 29th pick in the first round, the Phoenix Suns.

This is the highest of all predictions at present. The report commented that he is "delicate in skills, rare passing talent, and can play the center of the offense."

Other media still put him in the second round, ESPN predicted 59th pick, and Yahoo Sports gave 44th pick.

The general manager of at least three teams called and asked him about his details. One of the teams has a particularly strong interest.

His static talent is excellent enough.

The naked foot is 216 cm tall, the wingspan is 220 cm, and the standing height is 282 cm. The palm length is close to Kawhi Leonard's size.

U19 World Cup averaged 4.7 assists per game and 2.6 blocks per game in the CBA season.

During the trial, he made 14 of 25 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 56%. 70% stability at the

free throw line is not top-notch, but it is enough. The problem is also obvious.

His explosive power is average and his dynamic test data is mediocre. The intensity of confrontation at the

NBA level will test his adaptability.

CBA's three turnovers per game may be magnified when it reaches a higher stage.

His pick-and-roll habit needs to be adjusted, and sometimes his movements are not solid enough.

The team is not only interested in combat power.

He is the only Chinese player who has the potential to enter the NBA in recent years, and the market value behind it is self-evident.

His technical characteristics are reminiscent of Jokic when he was young, although the gap in athletic ability is obvious.

The more realistic template may be functional centers, similar to Jordan Jr., defense, rebounds, and occasional support.

If he is finally selected, he will become the first Chinese player to enter the NBA through the draft in 2016.

Eight years of blank waiting, fans' expectations are pressing on their shoulders.

Chicago's trial is just the beginning, and the next individual trial is equally critical and interview.
