The draft website evaluates the top 15 international rookies: Yang Hansen ranks 5th and is praised for his first-round potential

On May 19, Beijing time, the draft website NBA Draft Room selected the top 15 international rookies of this year, and Chinese player Yang Hansen ranked fifth, and in the relevant evaluation, he was praised for having the potential of a first-round pick.

Here's what he said: "After a season-efficient season in the Chinese league and a week of stellar tryouts in the Chicago Draft, Yang has risen in the draft rankings. The player's prospects are somewhat debatable: some scouts believe he is slow to move and find it difficult to gain a foothold in NB-level defense, while others are interested in his unique technical abilities at around 2.18m. I'm leaning more towards the latter and think he has first-round potential. ”

"We've seen in recent years that big, slow-moving but highly skilled players can not only get their ground in the league, but even play dominant. Young is expected to become the next international center to break through expectations with his superb skills and grow into a truly good player in the NBA. ”

The four international players in front of Yang Hansen are French point guard Traore (9th predicted pick, below), French forward Essenger (11th predicted pick), French center Bellinger (16th predicted pick), and Spanish quarterback Gonzalez (28th predicted pick). Israeli point guard Sharaf, who is behind Jan, is 41st.

According to this prediction, Yang may have a chance to be selected between 29th and 40th.

Previously, according to basketball reporter Zhou Peng, Yang Hansen has boarded the plane back to Los Angeles, and after a night's rest, he will continue to set off for special training at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, because he will participate in the Pro Day trial organized by Klutch on the 20th, and in addition to the regular training content tomorrow, he will also prepare for the test content of the trial on the 20th with other rookies of the company.
