Russell: Yang Hansen should go to a team that needs center, the Lakers are a good choice

NBA star D 'Angelo Russell is still continuing his Chinese trip. In an interview with media people, Russell also talked about the situation of Chinese inside star Yang Hansen who will appear in this year's NBA Draft. It seems that Russell is also very optimistic about Yang Hansen's market in the draft. As a veteran, Russell also gave Yang Hansen some personal suggestions and development plans.

Russell said: Yang Hansen should go to a team that needs a big man. I think the Los Angeles Lakers will be a very good choice. I think players like Yang Hansen need to have a team with good coaches because he is a big player. There are many big players in the NBA now. Yang Hansen is an insider with good mobile ability and certain shooting and passing ability. He has some things that other insiders do not have. Therefore, Yang Hansen needs to go to a team where the coach knows how to use him to achieve his potential, and he doesn't need to worry about the team going through reconstruction or these similar situations. Such a situation will be beneficial to his career. I wish him all the best in the draft and hope he can stay healthy throughout his career.

In this season's CBA regular season, Yang Hansen made a total of 45 appearances, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, averaging 16.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2.6 blocks, and 3 turnovers and 3.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 58.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 67.1%. In the playoffs, Yang Hansen made a total of 8 appearances, averaging 34.5 minutes per game, with averaging 13.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals and 3.1 blocks, and 3.3 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 66.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 0%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.9%.

Yang Hansen's performance in the regular season can be said to be remarkable, leaving a deep impression on everyone. He has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring abilities, he also has good passing and support abilities, and his performance in rebound protection and basket protection on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. However, in the playoffs, Yang Hansen's role in the team also showed some declines, and his data also showed a significant decline compared to the regular season stage. Yang Hansen was born on June 26, 2005 and is currently under 20 years old. According to data from the previous joint trial training and physical testing session, Yang Hansen is 215.9cm tall, wingspan is 220.3cm, standing height is 281.9cm, and weight is 114.6kg. Yang Hansen's performance in the previous joint trial 5-on-5 match was very eye-catching, but judging from the current situation, his draft market is still almost in the second round. I don't know if he has the chance to be selected by the Lakers in the draft as Russell said.
