A big comparison of the talents of three NBA players in the first round

As Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the first round of 16, netizens' expectations for Yang Hansen are getting higher and higher, and they can't help but compare him with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. The three of them are all first-round picks and their static talents are also excellent. However, through the comparison of the static talent of the three people, we can find that Yi Jianlian's talent still crushed Yang Hansen and Yao Ming, but his personality and the trend of the NBA at that time determined that he could not achieve higher achievements.

Let's first look at the talents of these three players. Regarding this, Yao Ming is definitely the first in terms of height and weight, but bounce, touch height and 100-meter sprint Yi Jianlian are all crushing levels. Old fans must still remember it fresh. At that time, we had even higher expectations for Yi Jianlian than Yao Ming, because his position and style of play were more attractive than Yao Ming. When he was first selected, many fans hoped that he would surpass Yao Ming in the future. But unfortunately, the injury has had a great impact on him, and Yi Jianlian is very introverted and does not communicate much with his teammates. The most important thing is that the NBA did not have popular small ball tactics at the time, and inside players always floated on the outside and shot were not favored. If it were put to this point, Yi Jianlian would definitely be able to play. Among these three players, Xiao Yang is definitely the worst in terms of talent, but he is likely to be higher than Yi Jianlian's upper limit. First of all, Jokic has the best of his beads. Now the league lacks inside players who can support and deal with the top of the arc, and Xiao Yang's outside shooting and passing are excellent. As for physical confrontation issues, don’t worry. The confrontation in the CBA is definitely world-class, and Xiao Yang will definitely adapt to the intensity of the NBA better than NCAA players. Another thing is that the Trail Blazers are very willing to train Yang Hansen. They bought out Ayton, which is very obvious, that is, they want to make every effort to correct Yang Hansen. As long as Xiao Yang can ensure health, his future is limitless.

Talent is important, but if you want to build a foothold in the NBA, opportunities and personality are very important. Yao Ming and Yang Hansen are better than Yi Jianlian in both of these points. But it is undeniable that all three of them have made great contributions to the Chinese men's basketball team.
