Media person: The 16th ranking is brought by the increase in exposure of Fu Paul, which is also reflected in Xiao Yang s own strength.

June 28th NBA Draft, Chinese player Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round.

Media person @Haijun's Blue Hair Blog talked about Fu Paul's help in Xiao Yang's draft. The original text is as follows:

Some people say that the biggest reason why Xiao Yang was selected in the first round 16 was the contribution of the agent Fu Paul's operation.

I do not deny that the agent played an important role in the entire draft, but as a top NBA agent in the United States, the willingness of Paul Fu to sign Xiao Yang and personally handle his draft is enough to show that he recognizes Xiao Yang and looks at his future NBA development potential. Paul Fu is not a fool either. He is a very smart and his reputation is greater than anything else. Therefore, it is impossible to sign an international player who is unsure of it casually, and he is a yellow player who was not favored by the outside world before.

In the NBA Draft, the most professional basketball platform in the world, the role of an agent may be able to turn the undraft into a second round pick, and the middle of the second round to the end of the first round, but it is completely impossible to use a player like Yang Hansen, who was originally out of the draft, to the 16th pick. Those remarks that try to ignore Xiao Yang's own strength by raising the role of an agent are nothing more than to belittle Xiao Yang's many efforts behind him.

Why does the NBA team that had tried Xiao Yang before require confidentiality? Why are the Trail Blazers eager to "intercept" the 16th pick? Because Xiao Yang's performance in the joint trial and the trial training of each team completely broke the "impression flow" of most of the previous scouts. After contacting them, they found that Xiao Yang was so excellent, his immediate combat power and future development potential were so high that the Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, and Nets all wanted to keep the news and not let others know that they were interested. Yang Hansen wanted to "pick out" in the first round. After seeing the Trail Blazers' 16th pick, the staff in the rooms of the Timberwolves and Nets were confused and knew that their abacus had failed. Of course, Xiao Yang himself was also in a daze.

So the Trail Blazers like Xiao Yang so much. They know that other teams have also discovered Xiao Yang's value. Not intercepting them is equivalent to handing a knife to their competitors. This 16th pick is brought by the increase in exposure through the increase in Paul, and it is also a reflection of Xiao Yang's own strength!
