Recently, NBA draft expert Ben Pfeifer wrote an article about Yang Hansen, a player who participated in the NBA draft in China, and analyzed the suitability of Yang Hansen with the Lakers and Doncic. The original title is "In-depth analysis of the adaptability of Yang Hansen and the Los Angeles Lakers - Can this Chinese star coexist with Luca Doncic? 》. This article has a unique vision and is worth reading.

The NBA draft expert analyzed this way. He said that since the offseason, there have been loopholes in the Lakers' center position and they need to be filled. In previous transactions, Davis's exchange for Doncic once caused everyone's cheers, but this operation put the Lakers' center in a dilemma. Although Doncic brought a lot of rewards to the Lakers, Davis' departure made the Lakers' inside vacuum.

This expert said that the Lakers also wanted to trade centers for one time, but they failed, so they pushed Hayes to the starting center position. However, this decision made the Lakers' inside line a fatal injury in the playoffs. In some games, the Lakers were always dominated by the opponent's center, and Redick did not have a center available, so small lineups without traditional centers are frequently used in the tactical system.

The Lakers' dilemma has to make the Lakers make plans to find centers in the free market or trading market this year, or in the draft, and urgently need inside reinforcement. So in the trading market, the Lakers have not completed the task, what should they do? So the Lakers currently have a No. 55 NBA draft pick. Although rookies selected at the end are usually difficult to develop combat effectiveness, it is not ruled out that among the rookies selected in the last round, there are also players who have performed amazing performances, and there are also cases in history.

Therefore, the Lakers turned their attention to the draft and turned their attention to the potential Chinese star Yang Hansen. This NBA draft expert believes that Yang Hansen has become famous in the CBA. He is tall, weight, and arm span, and is very young. Yang Hansen's physical condition has room for improvement. Judging from the centers who cooperated with Doncic in the past, the most effective is the ability to block the downward and end in the air.

NBA expert also analyzed Yang Hansen's style of play. He said that Yang Han prefers to play back-to-single in the low post, and is dominant in the CBA. In the CBA, Yang Hansen's offense accounts for a high proportion, but in the NBA, the efficiency of using this style of play will decrease. If the Lakers are interested in choosing Yang Hansen, the Lakers should believe that Yang Hansen can transform into a pick-and-roll threat point around Doncic and James.

Although Yang Hansen's pick-and-roll ending is not very threatening, Yang Hansen is better at pick-and-roll using technical advantages and ball merchants to crack defense. These are what Doncic and James need, and the Lakers need. The NBA draft expert's analysis of Yang Hansen is very sharp and thorough. It seems that the Lakers will definitely target Yang Hansen in the draft and participate in the robbery team. We also hope to see Yang Hansen, Doncic and James become teammates, and cooperate with Doncic and James to play their own characteristics and quickly grow into a center that can stand alone in the Lakers. Therefore, Yang Hansen's prospects for going to the Lakers are bright.
