Yang Hansen was actually selected by the Trail Blazers in the first round 16. Such an ending exceeded many people's expectations. The ending has been formed, and we must consider what happens next. First of all, we must praise the wisdom of the Trail Blazers management. It is reported that the Trail Blazers set their sights on Yang Hansen two years ago. Now they are willing to use their 16th pick in the first round to win Yang Hansen, which is enough to prove their importance to the latter. Of course, the Trail Blazers also promised to focus on cultivating Yang Hansen. It is not surprising that such an ending. On the surface, Yang Hansen's draft result exceeded many people's expectations, but from a realistic perspective, this wave of operations is a big deal.

For a Trail Blazers who have been at the middle and lower levels of the Western Conference for many years, how many people have paid attention to them? It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the people now won’t remember the name of the Trail Blazers’ starting list, but it’s different now. How many people have begun to pay attention to the Trail Blazers because of Yang Hansen’s joining. It is almost certain that the attention of the Trail Blazers team will definitely achieve a qualitative improvement next season. This is the butterfly effect triggered by Yang Hansen. Just imagine how the Trail Blazer management will pay attention to Yang Hansen in such a market context.

I have to say that there are gains and losses, and the Trail Blazers' spirit of taking risks will definitely bring rewards to them. But unfortunately, there are more teams that can choose Yang Hansen, but unfortunately they missed the best opportunity. Let's take a look at this year's draft results. Among the top 16 picks, in addition to Yang Hansen, there are also the Suns with the 10th pick and the Thunder with the 15th pick and the Timberwolves with the 17th pick and chose the center. Then, the Timberwolves with the 17th pick and chose the center. We will use the three teams with the 15th pick and the 17th pick to compare.

What would it be like if the Thunder team selected Yang Hansen? It is almost certain that the Thunder can continue to gain traffic from the halo of the championship, and see who will remember the Thunder's championship now, and even their popularity in winning the championship is not as high as Durant's joining the Rockets. To put it bluntly, this is the tragedy of the small ball market. Without attention, no one will help them speak out.

It has to be said that the Thunder missed the best opportunity to justify itself. The market behind Yang Hansen is the entire China, and the Thunder themselves have a mature offensive and defensive system. Even if Yang Hansen is a substitute, it may change the fans' impression of the Thunder. Alexander is likely to receive more traffic. Under such publicity, the Thunder will definitely get out of the whirlpool of public opinion favored by the league, so they can make mistakes.

The Timberwolves behind will be even more embarrassing. It can be said that the Trail Blazers snatched Yang Hansen in advance. If the Timberwolves selected Yang Hansen, it would definitely play a positive role in Edwards' growth. It is actually similar to the Thunder. How many people will pay attention to the Timberwolves' record? If it weren't for the critical game of the playoffs, the name Edwards might have been covered up by various new stars.

Please don't say that the author is exaggerating. You can tell how many benefits the Rockets have gained when you see Yao Ming. The one who benefits the most by Yao Ming is actually McGrady. Is he really that powerful? Don’t forget how many Chinese fans are behind it. Let’s talk about going back to the Timberwolves, compared to the Trail Blazers, Edwards is actually more capable of taking Yang Hansen to a higher stage. If he can really join hands to enter the playoffs or even reach higher honors, just imagine, will Edwards still pay attention to it now at this time?

Of course, it is not a bad thing for Yang Hansen to be selected by the Thunder and the Timberwolves. At least for the Trail Blazers, they have enough time to watch Yang Hansen grow. Instead, teams like the Thunder and the Timberwolves cannot give him room to grow. Finally, I can only say that it is a blessing to have a mistake in the failure of the enemy. I hope Yang Hansen can create his own world in the Trail Blazers.
