Recently, the hottest thing in the Chinese basketball circle must be that Yang Hansen was selected by the NBA Trail Blazers! At the draft, the Trail Blazers took Yang Hansen with the 16th draw in the first round. This operation instantly ignited the public opinion field. Some people applauded, while others shook their heads.

In the face of external doubts, the Trail Blazers senior executives directly responded: "We have been observing Yang Hansen for two years. Choosing him with the No. 16 draw is a plan after careful consideration, and it is definitely not an impulse!" As soon as this was said, many people were still half-believing - after all, the No. 16 draw is not low in the first round, and ESPN female host Ruiqi publicly complained, thinking that the money was not worth spending, and even took Jokic as an example, saying that he was selected at the 41st pick in the second round that year, and now he has become a league superstar. Why is Yang Hansen worth such a high signing position?

But there are also many voices that support it. Some media analyzed that if the Trail Blazers do not take action, the Timberwolves, who were signed by the No. 17, and even the Golden State Warriors may be able to grab the players. Warriors coach Cole had already spoken out that if he got Yang Hansen, he would definitely be able to train him into the next Jokic. After all, Yang Hansen is flexible in playing basketball, has a high ball quotient, and has a high passing vision and scoring ability. He does have a few shadows of Jokic.

On one hand, there are doubts, while on the other hand, the firmness of the pioneers and the expectations of the outside world. What results will Yang Hansen achieve in the NBA next? Can he prove himself and make this "big bet" successful in the Trail Blazers? Let's wait and see!
