Here it comes! Yang Hansen's final game in the Summer League! He suppressed the 10th pick in the first round during trials.

Yang Hansen is about to face off in his last Summer League game this month on the 20th, leading the Trail Blazers against the Suns, where he will compete against Malouachi from the same agency (Klutch).

So far in this Summer League, Yang has played an average of 24.4 minutes, contributing 10.8 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.3 blocks, with shooting percentages of 45.7% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 87.5% from the free-throw line; Malouachi, on the other hand, has averaged 23.2 minutes, scoring 10 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks, with shooting percentages of 35.7%, 23.1%, and 43.8%, respectively.

Malouachi was born in 2006, hailing from South Sudan, standing at 2.18 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.31 meters. He only started playing basketball at the age of 13 and took the professional route through the NBA Academy in Africa, representing the South Sudan national team in his World Cup debut against the Chinese national team in 2023.

This guy is this year's 10th overall pick; he was actually expected to bring his talent to Toronto as the 9th pick, but after being suppressed by Yang Hansen during trials, the Raptors lost confidence in this big man from South Sudan and ultimately chose wing player Boyles instead.

Last season, Malouachi played for Duke University in the NCAA, as a teammate of the top prospect Flagg, averaging 21.3 minutes per game, scoring 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 71.2% and a three-point percentage of 25%.

Returning to Yang Hansen, after the Summer League, reports suggest he might head back to China immediately to join the national team for training in preparation for the Asian Cup, and he could even make it in time for the warm-up match against the Venezuelan national team on July 24, although he might opt out to ensure he has enough rest.

It is worth mentioning that previously sidelined due to a back injury, Zeng Fanbo has rejoined the national team.With this, the Chinese national team has gathered all their power forwards: him, Wang Junjie, and Zhao Jiayi.

However, whether the Chinese national team will abandon their plans to summon Yang Hansen depends on whether Zhou Qi can recover from his back injury in time. Otherwise, the center position would only have Hu Jinqiu and Yu Jiahao available, which indeed seems a bit tight.
