Yang Hansen tried out the Hawks Observation | Directly compete with the French center to the first round 22 pick?

According to domestic media reports, Yang Hansen is about to set off for a separate trial plan again, and the next stop is highly likely to be the Hawks. In this draft, the Hawks' goal of strengthening the inside is very clear. In addition to the key inside players in the joint trial training, they also invested a lot of attention in Yang Hansen. The Hawks went to China's CBA many times to watch the game and further investigate Yang Hansen.

The Hawks have 13 and 22 picks in the first round in this draft. Considering that there are relatively many options available for 13 picks, the Hawks are likely to be mainly rookies in the lottery zone.

and 22nd pick are highly likely to make decisions based on different trial players:

If it is based on the current market feedback, Yang Hansen's direct competitor is highly likely to be Wenban Yama's French teammate Maxim Renault.

According to media person Wang Jian, before the Hawks tried Yang Hansen, they tried French center Maxim Renault (2003-216cm-C). The Hawks had 13 and 22 picks in the first round, and the team also needed big men very much. It was also rumored that the Spurs also had the idea of ​​using the No. 14 pick to choose Raynaud, and Wenban Yama had a close relationship with Raynaud. What is the personal ability of this French center?

In the NCAA this season, Renault made a total of 35 appearances for Stanford, averaging 33.5 minutes of playing time, handed over 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks, shooting percentage of 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77%.

Renault is also the only player in the entire NCAA field to achieve 20+10 data. With his outstanding performance, Renault is also shortlisted for the ACC League's best team, and he is also one of the best inside players in the entire NCAA field.

From the highlights, we can see that Renault has very rich offensive skills and can also pull the offensive area outside the 3-point line. Passing and supporting can provide stable threats, and the defensive end can meet the effective frame protection and protective rebounds, which is indeed worth entering the first round of inspection.

However, the shortcomings are also quite distinct. Renault's athletic ability is relatively average and his movement rate does not reach the top ranks, which also affected his performance on the defensive end to a certain extent. If the core inside line is used as the standard, if the Hawks choose Renault, they need to consider the defensive end.

If the Spurs choose to take the No. 14 sign, the probability of the Hawks choosing Yang Hansen in the No. 22 draw will increase significantly. On the contrary, once it falls to 20th place, he and Yang Hansen are likely to be direct competitors.

The joint trial of the 2025 NBA draft has ended, and ESPN has also released the latest mock draft list. Maxim Renault was selected by the Thunder at the 24th pick, and Yang Hansen ranked 35th in the latest top 100. Yang Hansen's market is lower than the French center.

For Yang Hansen, the importance of the Hawks this time trial is far more important than the Trail Blazers and Jazz. Capela's departure may be a matter of time. The Hawks' current lineup is not as tall and capable as No. 5, and the age group is relatively advantageous and has huge potential to discover. Yang Hansen needs to show stronger competitiveness in a separate trial to impress the Hawks' management to pay special attention.
