Make up for the regret of cutting Xiao Cui! Holding 5 draft picks, the Nets took Yang Hansen to kill two birds with one stone

Choi Yongxi, who failed in the draft last year, finally won a two-way contract for him by the Nets. In early December last year, the NBA had just officially announced the return of the Chinese game. The Nets and the Suns will play two preseason games in Macau in October this year. This book is regarded as a favorable signal for Choi Yongxi to stay in the team. As a result, just a week after the news came out, Choi Yongxi suffered a torn ACL in the game representing the Long Island Nets in the Development League, and was reimbursed for the season, and the Nets also cut it.

In fact, in this year's Chinese Games, when the Nets did not have any superstars in the team, Cui Yongxi was originally the biggest selling point, but after he was unfortunately injured and was cut, the team continued to find a new Chinese face to save Cui Yongxi's loss from leaving the team. Yang Hansen, who is going to participate in the NBA draft this year, happens to be a perfect replacement. According to domestic media reports recently, Yang Hansen has tried out 7 teams, namely the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Suns, Bucks, Magic, Pacers and Nets. Among them, the Nets have the most draft picks, namely the No. 8, No. 19, No. 26, No. 27 and No. 36 in the first round.

The current draft market in Yang Hansen is actually the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round, and the Nets have suitable draft picks in this position. In addition, Yang Hansen went to the team for trial training this time. From this point of view, Yang Hansen is very likely to be selected by the Nets at this year's draft. Yang Hansen's role in the Nets is actually not just the commercial value of the Chinese market, but also great help to the team itself.

This season, the other average rebounding average is only the second-to-last in the league. Except for Clarkston, the whole team does not have a reliable inside line, so in the second half of the season, the team simply let Timmy, who lost the election, play the team's main inside line. In this offseason, it was also rumored that Clarkston might leave the team. If he leaves, the depth of the inside line will be even more stretched. Currently, the Nets only have Sharp, Cloney, Clarkston, and Timmy in the interior position, and these are actually insiders with relatively single functions. If Yang Hansen can go to Brooklyn, he will actually have the opportunity to play in rotation, or even start.

For the Nets, who now hold multiple draft picks, they can indeed consider taking Yang Hansen off. If they are unwilling to pay for the first round pick, if Yang Hansen was not selected before the 36th pick in the second round draft, then the Nets will have a high probability of using their No. 36 pick to bring him to Brooklyn to make up for the regret of Choi Yongxi's departure. As for Cui Yongxi, who is currently in the recovery stage of injury, if his condition really recovers well, it is not ruled out that the Nets will continue to give him a two-way contract, allowing him and Yang Hansen to gather in Brooklyn. At that time, the Nets, which have two Chinese players, will not only be able to sell tickets in the Chinese game, but will also receive sufficient attention in the official regular season.
