Yang Hansi vs. Jokic! American media highlights Summer League statistics: Hansi excels in three categories, but rebounds are lower than Jokic's.

On July 21, Beijing time, the well-known American media Clutch Points released a comparison of the Summer League statistics between Yang Hansi and Jokic. In four statistical categories, Yang Hansi surpassed Jokic from ten years ago in points, assists, and blocks, while his rebounds were lower than Jokic's.

The specific numbers show that Jokic averaged 8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.4 blocks in the 2015 Summer League, while Yang Hansi averaged 10.8 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.6 blocks in the 2025 Summer League.

ClutchPoints' commentary is as follows—

“Yang Hansi of the Trail Blazers has confirmed he will miss the remaining games of the Summer League, but he has shown everyone some of Jokic's signature performances—not only on the court but also in the statistics. Jokic displayed a well-rounded performance during his Summer League days, while Yang Hansi has been more dynamic on the offensive end while also contributing defensively.”

“Although Jokic's initial statistics were not impressive, his technical characteristics later redefined the role of modern big men in the NBA. On the other hand, Yang Hansi's superior scoring and playmaking stats indicate that he has the potential to become a versatile player in the league.”

“Both players have their strengths in statistics, but they prove that the Summer League can be a stepping stone to greater achievements. Jokic's success may have been a gradual process, but we all know the heights he ultimately reached. Now, only time will tell if Yang Hansi can follow a similar path to stardom.”

Earlier reports indicated that after Jokic's group interview in China, a staff member told him that Yang Hansi's Weibo profile picture was of Jokic. When the staff member directly showed it to him on a phone, Jokic was particularly happy. Jokic also heard that if Yang Hansi had the chance to meet the Nuggets, the first thing he would want to do is take a selfie with him. Upon hearing this, Jokic smiled widely and said he would be looking forward to it.
