Yang Hansen s NBA draft market is booming

The 2025 NBA Draft is approaching, and the draft market of Chinese men's basketball star Yang Hansen is bullish. Since he went to the United States to train in early May this year, he has performed very well in the trial training, and his personal draft pick is also increasing, and the possibility of his impact on the NBA is gradually increasing.

After going to the United States for one month to train, Yang Hansen's body and skills have improved significantly. His body fat percentage has dropped to 8.7%, down 3 percentage points from the CBA season. He can easily push out defensive players of the same weight level in confrontation training to end the offense with a throw or hook. In addition, his dribbling skills have also improved. During training, he can start dribbling from outside the three-point line and complete layups by continuously changing directions. In the NBA draft joint trial match, Yang Hansen's performance was even more amazing. In the first game, he played for 19 minutes, scored 12 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block in 5 of 7 shots; in the second game, he played for 18 minutes, 3 of 4 shots, 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block in a comprehensive data. In the two games, Yang Hansen's shooting percentage was very high, with a total of 8 shots and a good free throw performance, with a total of 6 free throws. Although he has few offensive opportunities, he fully demonstrated his ability to support and pass, and repeatedly supported him at the top of the arc, creating opportunities for his teammates to score three-pointers. Yang Hansen's outstanding performance in the joint trial also allowed his draft estimate to continue to improve, with the highest prediction reaching 20th place from 40.

Yang Hansen's outstanding performance also attracted the attention of many NBA teams. Many teams conducted an inspection of him, including the Timberwolves, Bulls, Hawks, Mavericks, etc., and some teams also sent him trial invitations. The Hawks have been looking for inside players with support in recent years, and Yang Hansen's style is highly consistent with their needs. In addition, the Lakers also intend to choose Yang Hansen in the second round, and the Mavericks, the Nets and even the Warriors have expressed their interest in him.

Yang Hansen's participation in the NBA draft this time has attracted high attention from domestic fans. Everyone hopes that he can seize this opportunity and show China's height on the world's highest-level basketball stage like his senior Yao Ming. "I still have a big gap with his senior Yao Ming. Before I came this time, I also communicated with him. He also hopes that I can seize the opportunity of this trial training, not to have too much pressure, and try my best to play to my level."

Of course, Yang Hansen still has some shortcomings, such as the ability to switch defenses from the outside, insufficient speed, and relatively passive defense. Yang Hansen showed extremely high basketball IQ and comprehensive skills during his training in the United States. His three-point shooting and mid-range shooting abilities are also constantly improving. If he can continue to perform well in subsequent individual trials and conquer more NBA teams, his draft pick is expected to be further improved.
