One is the only Chinese boss in the US professional basketball capital market, and the other is the most talented Chinese player in the past decade. Does the Brooklyn Nets, who hold four first-round picks, really have the hope of bringing Yang Hansen to the US professional basketball team through the draft this summer? With the end of the joint trial, the answer to this question seems to be becoming clearer and clearer.
In the latest draft simulation of the American media, Yang Hansen was selected by the Nets at the 27th pick, which improved two more places from the previous period prediction. The outstanding personal performance in the two trials made many scouts pay attention to this teenager from the East. Although Yang Hansen lacks speed and agility, his passing ability on the court gives him a unique offensive talent. Coupled with Yang Hansen's excellent physical test data, many media and commentators believe that he is likely to become a first-round pick this summer.
According to physical test data released by the US media, Yang Hansen's hand is about 25.4 cm long, ranking first among this draft players, even longer than Leonard's. His hand width is 28.57 cm, ranking second among this draft players. Like Leonard, he can shoot three-pointers and can organize teams and have excellent basket protection skills. Many inside players need it.
In previous predictions, some draft experts believed that Yang Hansen had entered the Warriors' inspection scope. If he was not selected in the first round, the Warriors would likely choose Yang Hansen with the 41st pick. But how could such an outstanding Chinese player escape from Boss Cai’s eyes with such an outstanding Chinese player? Choi Yongxi was unfortunately out of the election and was able to sign a two-way contract with the Nets.
Now Yang Hansen has shown his strength to compete for the first round pick. The Nets, which hold 5 top 40 picks, must be the team that has the most hope of choosing Yang Hansen. According to previous lottery results, the Nets have the 6th pick, the 19th pick, the 26th pick, the 27th pick and the 36th pick this summer. Judging from Yang Hansen's current performance, the probability of him being selected by the Nets is very high.
In the past few years, in order to help Chinese players take to a bigger stage, Tsai Chongxin not only acquired the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Liberty, but also established the Tsai Chongxin Basketball Scholarship Program, spending a lot of money to help young players in China every year. Begin a dream-chasing journey in North America. Although no young players have successfully entered the U.S. Professional Basketball Team through this scholarship program, in just five years, this scholarship program has trained many players from the first-level American university league, and many players have been selected for the national youth team.
Tsai Chongxin once publicly stated in an interview that the US professional basketball team is very professional, and even if he is the team boss, he cannot influence the team management to open the back door for Chinese players. But as long as you can meet the requirements of the team's management and coaching staff, Cai Chongxin is definitely the team boss in the league who most desires to sign Chinese players.
Last summer, the Nets provided Choi Yongxi with a two-way contract. Although he was unfortunately defeated, Choi Yongxi's efforts have been recognized by many team management. Now Yang Hansen has successfully proved himself in the joint trial training, and he has received trial invitations from multiple teams. Although the team roster has not been exposed, we can be sure that there is definitely the Nets among them.
