It’s not Jokic, it’s not Shen Jing. The best model for Yang Hansen’s rookie season is Sabonis. 3 reasons

Today, let’s talk to you about Yang Hansen’s best NBA player template in his rookie season. Previously, Yang Hansen himself said that his favorite player is Jokic, in addition to Shen Jing. Moreover, Yang Hansen does have the title of "Chinese Jokic", but this article studied Yang Hansen's three preseason games and found that the best target player for Yang Hansen in his rookie season was Sabonis Jr. Specifically, let’s talk about the following three points:

The comparison with Savoy is more in line with Billups’ use of Yang Hansen.

Billups’ current use of Yang Hansen basically has no low post requirements. He is a space-based player at the 5th position completely outside the 3-point line! This is actually different from Jokic and Shen Jing, because Jokic and Shen Jing are relatively strong and have the ability to use their bodies to knock off defenses and get to the basket.

Yang Hansen, like Sabonis, attacks the basket more from the 3-point line. Both of them have very good footwork and long-range attack capabilities.

Compared with Sabonis, he resolutely improves his 3-point line offensive ability.

Judging from Yang Hansen's current performance, 3-point shooting is already a skill that he must master. He can already make stable gains in the game, but his shooting rate is not very high. This is what he needs to learn from Sabonis!

Entering the regular season, the stability of the 3-pointer will be linked to Yang Hansen's playing time! Therefore, benchmarking Xiaosha is conducive to Yang Hansen's foothold and growth!

To compare with Savoy, you can take the lightweight center route

It has to be said that Jokic and Shen Jing are actually considered heavyweight center routes, and Sasha is still a lightweight route. From the perspective of technical characteristics, it is more appropriate for Yang Hansen to move to lightweight in the future without gaining weight. This is one of the important reasons for learning from Sabonis!
