It was revealed that the Eagles plan to try out Yang Hansen alone: holding the No. 13 pick + No. 22 pick in the first round?

On June 3, Beijing time, according to domestic media reports, the Atlanta Hawks plan to try out Yang Hansen alone, and they have two first-round picks in this year's draft, namely the No. 13 and No. 22 picks. Not long ago, the NBA Draft Room predicted that Young Hansen would be selected by the Hawks with the 22nd pick. So far, Young has tried out for the Trail Blazers and Jazz.

Over the past two seasons, six NBA teams have sent scouts to China to scout for Yang, who is also seen as the team most interested in the center. Among them is the Eagles, who have been watching Yang Hansen for two seasons.

After all, the Hawks' center Capela will become a complete free agent and will most likely leave the Hawks and sign with other teams, while the team's main center Okongu is short, and they need to increase the size and depth of the interior. Yang Hansen, who is 2.16 meters tall, is the target of the Eagles' close attention, and if Yang Hansen has not been picked up in 22nd place, it is entirely possible for the Eagles to choose him.

As we all know, the core of the Hawks' playmaking is Trae Young, and when Trae Young is not on the floor, Young can be an interior playmaker on the bench, helping his teammates create opportunities, and his technical characteristics fit the needs of the Hawks' more diverse style of play.

In the 2024-25 season, Yang Hansen played 45 regular season games for the Qingdao men's basketball team, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, contributing 16.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.6 blocks, shooting 58.6% from the field, leading the team to advance to the playoffs with the 8th place in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, it defeated Zhejiang 2-1, and lost to Guangsha 2-3 in the second round. He averaged 13.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.1 blocks per game in the playoffs.

Which team will Yang Hansen be selected for? Let's wait and see.
