On May 17, relying on his outstanding performance in the joint trial, Yang Hansen also received the attention of many domestic and foreign media. Although most of the joint trial competitions are second-round picks and undrafts, if you can play in such a game, you will have the opportunity to consolidate the possibility of being selected. Previously, because of Hansen's outstanding performance, some media that simulated the draft even believed that he would be selected at the end of the first round.
Because of its outstanding performance, Henson has now received more attention from scouts and has been praised. The Pelicans scout said in a recent interview with domestic sports media reporters: After seeing Yang Hansen’s trial training situation in the past few days, I feel that it exceeded my expectations. Sometimes his movements and performance surprised me. His hands are very big, comparable to Leonard. His passing vision and low-post offensive skills are far beyond his performance in this age group. Some of his movements remind me of Yao. Many scouts don’t know his name now, so they like to call him Jokic Jr. or the next Yao.
Baby Jokic, this is what some scouts call Yang Hansen. The scout also said that he believes that Yang Hansen is likely to be selected, and that he will definitely get playing time after being selected. After this period of game, many sports media have also made detailed scout reports on Yang Hansen. Next, let’s take a look at the scout reports made by US media HoopsHype for Yang Hansen.
His advantages are: a big man with excellent face frame ability, has the ability to shoot outside and finish inside, has the ability to catch and shoot and roll outside, has a very soft feel, has very smooth movement connection, and has excellent passing ability. He has top-notch reading game in the center, excellent back-to-body finishing ability, mature footsteps, strong finishing ability at the basket, good ending ability at the empty cut, very high ball quotient, excellent frame protection ability, and solid defense footsteps.
Of course, Henson also has shortcomings: his movement ability is insufficient, his running posture is stiff, his conversion defense will appear bulky, and his horizontal movement ability is also lacking. He will struggle against flexible players, lack of stability in mid- and long-distance shooting, struggle as a ball holder, his desire to break through, his lack of ball ability and conversion offense will not help the team. The problem that Dazhi mentioned before is that his speed is not outstanding enough.
And the Pelicans scout we mentioned above also talked about Yang Hansen's issue. He said: I think his movement speed is pretty good. Maybe he worked harder after he just played in the NBA and needed to better adapt to the rhythm of the game, but I think he can adapt to and accept the rhythm of the NBA. Moreover, the Pelicans team also praised Hansen for taking the initiative to communicate with his teammates, which he believed was also a plus. Everyone knows the culture of the NBA locker room, and this is why Xiao Cui is popular.
Because of his outstanding performance, many scouts are paying attention to Yang Hansen. Today, ESPN's draft expert wrote an article about Yang Hansen. He said: Yang Hansen, who is only 19 years old, may still need 1-2 years to improve his draft prospects. He can consider temporarily withdrawing from the draft to improve his shooting ability, physical fitness and defensive ability. It is not clear whether his development in the CBA is the best choice, but several league executives have expressed their hope to see him play in the NCAA. Now he has firmly entered the NBA's vision and has the opportunity to become a first-round pick in 26 years.
To be honest, I don't recommend Henson to play in the NCAA or participate in the draft next year. His market is now good. Even if he is selected in the second round, he can still get playing time in terms of his frame protection ability, height and plug-and-play microwave attributes. Now the league has transitioned from the five-tit era to the era when big men re-rule the league. Many teams need decent big centers, such as the Lakers, Warriors, etc.
If you try again for another year, it is okay to give opportunities in the NCAA. If you don’t give opportunities, it may affect his draft prospects, and other uncertain hidden dangers such as injuries. A second-round pick in a draft year may not be worse than the first-round final draft in other years. Everyone should know that in the 1996 and 2003 drafts, many second-round picks were played, some were selected as All-Stars, and some became the core rotation of the team.
Hansen has the ability to become a core rotation. Even if he is selected and cannot get a stable playing time next season, Yang Hansen must remain patient and learn and improve himself. As ESPN said, he is only 19 years old and his future possibilities are unlimited. You must keep a calm mind and not be influenced by external pressure and public opinion. Being able to go out is enough to make domestic fans proud of you. Even if it does not meet expectations, it doesn’t matter. Being able to get in touch with higher-level leagues to improve yourself is a great gain.
