First-time pick, 25th first-round pick, Yang Hansen first, Quinn s ability to confront is disappointing

With the start of the Las Vegas Summer League, many 2025 rookies have also completed their first performances in the NBA. Just recently, the media has also commented on the performance of all first-round picks in 25 years, and Yang Hansen surpassed others in the center position to rank first. Among the 25th first round rookies, a total of 6 inside players were selected. Except for Sauber, who was 15th overall, who was absent due to injury, the other five players have appeared. The specific performance ranking is as follows:

No. 5: Yanick Conan Needhausen (Los Angeles Clippers, No. 30th overall in the first round)

Before the draft, Needhausen was coveted by 2.14 meters tall, but in the end, the joint training was released, and his official height was only 2.08 meters tall, which directly affected his final draft ranking. However, this did not change the fact that its defensive end has strong strength.

In the first game against the Rockets, Niedhauser made all four shots in the game, but he still used his own defense to help the Clippers win the first summer league game. He scored 1 point with only free throws in the whole game, and had 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks. But in the Clippers, players like him don't have to worry about scoring. With a top defender like Harden in the lineup, Nedhausen only needs to be prepared to "eat cake" at any time.

No. 4: Derek Quinn (New Orleans Pelicans, 13th pick in the first round)

With Misey, the Pelicans chose Quinn, who was very skilled at the 13th pick. A large part of the reason is that he has rich offensive skills in the inside and has a solid passer skills. However, in the first game, Quinn's too thin body hindered his performance in the higher level.

Quin made 7 mistakes in the whole game. Although he made 5 of 9 shots, he scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, in the face of a tough defense, Quinn's turnover rate was too exaggerated and he made 7 mistakes in the first game. In the regular season, with Williamson's appearance, Quinn may have to appear as a pure ending point, and such a "butter hand" performance will directly affect his regular season playing time.

No. 3, Kaman Maluac (Phoenix Suns, 10th pick in the first round)

Maluac is known as the No. 5 player No. 1 talent ranking in the 25th No. 5 player. A very important point is that Maluac has the possibility of developing projection ability.

However, in his first game, 0 of 4 shots in the first half made Maluach completely lose his confidence on the shooting end, and completely returned to the role of "blue-collar" in the second half, although his data performance of 14 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game was pretty good. But the efficiency of 5 of 13 shots is simply not up to the passing line for an inside player of 2.18 meters.

And now the Suns should pray that even if they become a blue-collar player, Maluach needs to be tougher in protecting rebounds.

No. 2, Nian Berlange (Minnesota Timberwolves, 17th pick in the first round)

Compared with the above, Berlange is not as versatile, but this makes him focus more on the defensive end. Although he has only been in contact with professional training for 4 years, Berlange's sense of rebounding is like a veteran who has been in battle.

's first debut was successfully blocked twice in a row, which undoubtedly enhanced Belange's confidence. He scored 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks in 6 shots in the whole game. It is not difficult to predict that in the new season, with Gobert as the best mentor, Belange will grow very quickly.

No. 1, Yang Hansen (Portland Trail Blazers, 16th pick in the first round)

Perhaps among these players, Yang Hansen is the least optimistic player except Nedhausen, but this does not affect his use of his all-round performance to help the team win a 30-point victory.

Yang Hansen made good contributions in all aspects throughout the game, hitting 3 goals in 7 shots, scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. If the two layups in the second half were more stable, perhaps his data list would be more eye-catching. But even so, what Yang Hansen showed in this game was far more than the above-mentioned young talents.

At present, for Yang Hansen, the only thing that has troubled him is his physical fitness problem. However, through the adaptation of more games, the summer league is not a difficult task for this 2.18-meter-long big man. His eyes may have been on the regular season from the beginning!
