In the first round, the Hawks chose Yang Hansen?

As time goes by, the annual NBA draft is getting closer and closer! Compared with previous years, this year's draft is particularly eye-catching. In addition to the year of the draft, Yang Hansen, who we are particularly concerned about, is going to participate in the NBA draft. There is no doubt that Yang Hansen carries the hope and sustenance of the Chinese people! Everyone is extremely looking forward to Yang Hansen becoming the next Chinese face to compete in the NBA arena.

And as Yang Hansen shines in the joint trial training, his draft market has also risen. Now, Yang Hansen's draft prediction ranking has gone from the previous high probability of being selected at the end of the second round, and a counterattack to the possibility of being selected at the end of the first round. Recently, the Associated Press updated the mock draft, and they expected Yang Hansen to be selected by the Brooklyn Nets at the 26th pick in the first round. It is particularly worth mentioning that many draft experts also support the Nets to use the 26th pick in the first round to win Yang Hansen.

From being initially predicted to be selected at the end of the second round, to being now likely to be picked by the Nets in the 26th pick in the first round, Yang Hansen's draft prospects can be said to be bright! Little did they know that being selected at the 26th pick in the first round was not Yang Hansen's limit. Recently, US media Last Word on Sports published an article mentioning Chinese player Yang Hansen. They believe that Yang Hansen can be used as an alternative to the Atlanta Hawks' No. 22 pick in the first round. It is reported that the Hawks, who hold the 13th pick and 22nd pick in the first round of this year, also have plans to try out Yang Hansen.

Last Word on Sports wrote in the article: "The Hawks' center position in the offseason is worrying. Apart from Okonwu, they have no other stable centers, because Capela and Nance Jr. will become free agents this summer. If the Hawks want to compete for a playoff spot, they may need an experienced substitute center. If the free market cannot be found, it may be possible to win a favorite center at the end of the first round."

The reason why US media Last Word on Sports supports the Hawks to take Yang Hansen at the 22nd pick in the first round is that Yang Hansen, who is about 2.16 meters tall and weighs 114 kg, is a high-ball business center. His passing vision and reading ability as a ball holder are very rare among players in the same position. Yang Hansen can be both inside and outside, and he is a rare good seedling of the new era center. In addition, Yang Hansen's stadium vision complements the offensive system made by Hawks head coach Snyder quickly, and he has huge future development potential.

Although we have no way to know whether Yang Hansen will be selected in the first round in the end, judging from his recent rising draft market, Yang Hansen is really expected to become another first-round pick of the Chinese face after Yao Ming! Come on, Yang Hansen! Looking forward to your success on the NBA stage!
