Chinese player Yang Hansen's impact on the NBA journey has attracted the attention of fans this summer.
Can he be chosen? In what position can he be chosen? I believe that many people have such questions.
Today, NBADraft.net updated the 2025 NBA mock draft list, and Yang Hansen rose to No. 35 and was selected by 76ers, up 5 places from the previous mock list!
That says a thing: he did well in the recent tryout.
Next, there will be individual tryouts for the teams, after all, there are multiple NBA teams that have sent out tryout invitations, and the agent team will choose to participate, and the tryouts are expected to last until mid-to-late June.
This time is a good opportunity for him to improve the market.
Previously, his performance in the joint training camp was impressive.
Two game stats: Played 19 minutes in the first game, shot 5-of-7 from the field, and 1-of-3 from three-point range to finish with 12 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
In the second game, he played 13 minutes, shooting 3-of-4 from the field and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 2 turnovers.
Therefore, he was read by name in the draft, and I think it is a high probability event.
However, when the outside world says that it will hit the first round, I think it is better to lower expectations.
After all, he is a player with obvious strengths and weaknesses.
As the scouting report states:
Advantages: Rare passing vision at the center position, reliable low-post scorer, outstanding finishing efficiency under the basket, defensive position selection of high ball quotient, and solid low-post defensive footsteps.
Disadvantages: There are obvious shortcomings in the movement ability, the lateral movement speed is slow, and the stability of medium and long-range projection still needs to be improved.
Being selected by the NBA is just the first step in getting your ticket.
How to survive in this highly competitive alliance is the most important thing.
Instead of speculating on his position, it is better to wish him a team that is willing to give him a chance.
It's gold, and it has to have a chance to shine.
