On May 31, Beijing time, according to reporter Zhou Peng, the feedback received by Yang Hansen in the second game trial was "very good", but the team repeatedly emphasized that it required confidentiality, so the specific team was not exposed. Previously, Yang Hansen tried out with the Trail Blazers for the first stop, and he received a lot of positive reviews, and then quickly rushed to the second stop.
Zhou Peng reported that after completing the separate trials of the first two teams, Yang Hansen will return to Los Angeles first, and after a short rest, continue to set off from Los Angeles to the next few teams for trials. Previously, Su Qun revealed that there are 11 teams that want Yang Hansen to try out separately before the draft, but Yang Hansen may not participate in all of them.
ESPN and Yahoo have updated their latest mock draft rankings, with Hansen Yang at No. 35 and No. 39, respectively, both of which have improved to a certain extent compared to the previous ones. This also shows that Yang Hansen is optimistic about the draft, if not in the first round, at least in the first half of the second round.
Today, when discussing the second-round draft, Duolun Multimedia also mentioned Yang Hansen's name and saw him as one of the targets of the Raptors' second-round selection. It is worth mentioning that the Raptors have the No. 39 pick in the second round, which is also the pick that Yahoo predicted Hexion would be selected.
Duolun Multimedia's reviews are as follows——
With the No. 39 pick in hand, the Raptors are expected to examine another promising star to watch: Yang Hansen from the Qingdao Eagles. The 2.16m center is a strategic, long-term investment, combining exceptional height, skill and basketball IQ. His performance in the Chinese Basketball Professional League (CBA) is remarkable, averaging 17.2 points, 10.5 rebounds per game, and shooting 82% from the free-throw line, showing a soft touch that is rare among players of his size.
Hansen Yang's NBA journey will be one of growth and adaptation. Obviously, he'll need to build muscle mass and improve his mobility, but his foundational skills and potential as a basket protector paint a promising picture of the future for the Toronto Raptors' evolving roster.
