August 5th, today's Trail Blazers reporter Mike Richman and Washington Post reporter Ben Golliver co-hosted a podcast program. During this period, Ben Golliver analyzed Yang Hansen's pros and cons.

"I was impressed by his passing ability, but he still needs to improve in terms of flexibility. Facing the lateral movement of NBA players will be a challenge for him. I think he will be tested in this regard. Opponents will try to use this to attack him, such as if he has a strong block and his opponent will transfer him from the basket, so Young suffers the loss of slow movement. I don't think Young is the most deterrent defender at the moment, and scoring at the basket may also be a challenge for him. But he does have the potential to improve, especially in vertical jumps and adapt to the speed of NBA athletes." BenGolliver said.

"The other side is that he's better off developing a three-pointer, which will make him a more threatening weapon. Overall, I think he has a lot to look forward to, and although he's not perfect, there's a lot of room for development. He may soon get playing time in the current roster and take on the bench. Although he may not be fully prepared, the opportunity will be in front of him and he can learn in practice," BenGolliver said.
