Yang Hansen’s ultimate prediction of the draft market. Which of the 11 teams in the trial training is the most reliable?

Earlier today, it was reported that Yang Hansen had completed a trial with the Toronto Raptors.

Including the Raptors, in the past 20 days, Yang Hansen has tried out a total of 11 teams alone. As a result of gathering sources from many parties, although Xiao Yang's flight trial trip was very strong, the results were still quite rich, and the results were quite satisfactory...

After the trial of the 11 team, Xiao Yang will return to Los Angeles to rest and make final preparations for the draft.

If we lengthen the timeline, back to early May, when Yang Hansen just went to the United States for special training, his draft prospects were actually not clear. But after the joint trial in mid-May, the Pro Day trial organized by Klutch brokerage and this long list of separate trials, it is already a very high probability that Xiao Yang will be selected.

Only based on the most authoritative ESPN draft simulation as a reference, in mid-May, Yang Hansen entered the top 60 on the list for the first time, ranking 59th in the second round. But yesterday, in ESPN's latest simulation draft, Xiao Yang's ranking has climbed to the 35th pick in the second round.

is not only ESPN, but also in some other relatively important draft simulation lists of the US media, Yang Hansen's ranking is basically stable at the benchmark line of 30 to 40. Some media people who particularly appreciate Xiao Yang have even given him the expectations of his first round pick in advance.

In addition, the feedback from Yang Hansen's team and Xiao Yang himself is also quite positive. Yang Hansen's American agent Andy Miller believes that "a player of his type is the most likely to succeed in the NBA because he is very pure and simple... He is (also) trying to break the outside stereotype with actual performance." Chris Johnson, the trainer of Young, also affirmed him, believing that he has the qualities of both internal and external cultivation, "even a faster inside line than Jokic." When talking about the special training results in the past month, Yang Hansen himself focused on his own shooting, and he thought his outside shooting was more accurate.

Of course, apart from the above subjective expressions, Yang Hansen was able to receive separate interview invitations from as many as 11 NBA teams after the joint trial, and this number has reflected his draft value the most objectively. And in such a large sample of trial teams, Yang Hansen can also choose a team that is more suitable for him relatively calmly...

From the current perspective, the 11 teams that Yang Hansen trains for the demand for centers can be roughly divided into three levels.

First of all, the Jazz and the Trail Blazers. They have clear inside starts and rotations, and the demand for centers is actually not strong. On the Jazz side, Kessler and Phillipovs have basically played quite stable seasons, and Kessler is still the top league's basket protection gate; on the Trail Blazers, there are two inside players, Ayton and Klingen, so the training space for the center is not too large.

Although Ayton, Kessler and others are currently celebrities in the trading market, once the transaction occurs in the future, the composition of the insiders of the two teams will change accordingly. But if the two teams did not make a deal during the offseason, Yang Hansen would have to accept a relatively low rotation position after joining, and then patiently wait for the opportunity to get ahead.

Raptors, Suns, Timberwolves, Celtics, Hawks and Nets can basically be classified as the second group of Yang Hansen's next home. The current situations of these six teams are different, and their staffing and team culture are also very different, but they have a common feature: their offseason and next season's goals are still a bit unclear to the outside world.

For example, the Timberwolves and the Celtics are both the serious championship team this season, and the Celtics are also the championship last season. However, after experiencing this year's playoff championship failure, the lineups of both teams may undergo a drastic change this summer. Currently, centers are available in Wolves and Celtics lineups. However, according to recent tips, the Wolves are selling Gobert and have not yet been completely determined whether to retain Randall. After the Celtics undergo surgery in the two Tanhua successively, the list is also brewing a large-scale reshuffle.

The Suns, Raptors, Hawks and Nets are also in ambiguous situation. On paper, they all need to replenish fresh blood from the inside, but the unknown general direction of these teams is likely to affect the training plan of rookies after joining.

In contrast, the Bucks, Pacers and Magic are teams with clearer directions in the future. On the

, the Bucks had already been convinced to stay in the team. In other words, in the new season, they still have high requirements for their record. But at present, there are only two centers in the Bucks - Lopez and Sims, and their contracts will expire this summer. Even though Daluo chose to renew his contract, he was already a 37-year-old fossil veteran. Therefore, from the perspective of upgrading combat power, the Bucks especially need to add centers, and need a talented young No. 5 position like Yang Hansen. The only problem is that the Bucks do not have a first-round pick this year. If they want to get Yang Hansen, the only second-round pick they can be with the 47th pick.

The Magic just made a big deal involving Bain a few days ago, which accurately strengthened the shortcomings of outside projection. With this deal as a starting point, the young Magic also released their determination to make a big move next season.

Currently, the Magic have three centers in the Magic, Moritz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitaze, but none of them have the characteristics of Yang Hansen's size and technology. More importantly, the health of the Greater Wagner and Carter was not ideal. Carter has been in constant injuries since entering the league, while Wagner, the Greater, suffered a serious injury from a cruciate ligament rupture this season. The Magic's draft this year holds the No. 25, No. 46 and No. 57 signs, so they can use these three signs to buy another insurance for the insider.

Finally, the Pacers, which are undergoing the finals, also have some demand for the inside.. Judging from the situation throughout the season, Turner has undertaken too many offensive and defensive tasks at the center position, but by his side, neither Thomas Bryant nor Tony Bradley are qualified substitutes. Next season, if the Pacers want to continue to win the championship, then the No. 5 position is what they need to add first.

But it is worth mentioning that the Pacers just sent away the No. 23 pick in the first round of this year in a deal this morning. In other words, in the absence of subsequent operations, if they want to choose Yang Hansen, only the 54th pick in the second round will be available...
