Wen Pang: The league is very excited that the Trail Blazers chose Yang Hansen. They are optimistic about this choice

June 27, recently, famous reporter Windhorst talked about the Trail Blazers choosing Yang Hansen with the 16th pick in the program "NBAToday".

Windhorst said: "I started hearing about this guy about a year ago. People started watching him play, and in fact the Trail Blazers were more excited about him a year ago, and more excited than this year. But I must say, I don't know how he plays at all."

"Also, I want to mention Mike Schmitz, the assistant general manager of the Trail Blazers. He was my former colleague, we used to work together at ESPN, and he was one of our draft experts. He was hired by the Trail Blazers about three or four years ago. He was an expert in international players, and he would watch players all over the world. He was really good at digging deep into players with potential."

Finally, Windhorst said: "I can only say that, oh, there is one thing that is also amazing, that is, the NBA is really, really excited about this choice. They are really optimistic about this choice."
