July 19th ESPN data columnist Kevin Pelton wrote an article listing players who performed well in the Las Vegas Summer League this year, and Chinese player and Trail Blazers No. 16 pick Yang Hansen was listed.

The details are as follows:

The most fascinating rookie:

Yang Hansen Trail Blazers

After Flag, no rookie attracted more attention than Yang Hansen. He is the Chinese player with the highest draft pick (No. 16 pick) since Yi Jianlian (No. 6 pick) in 2007. Yang Hansen, who is 2.16 meters tall, has excellent passing ability on the outside, and has delivered a total of 15 assists in four games, several of which are highlights. Yang Hansen also showed better blocking ability than expected (2.3 per game), with 4 of 12 three-pointers.

Yang Hansen has to improve his rebounding ability, he averages only 5 rebounds per game, but in the summer league, he doesn't look like a risky choice (a Trail Blazers).

In this year's Las Vegas Summer League, Yang Hansen played in 4 games, averaging 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game.
