Rockets, Nets, Lakers... Who will Yang Hansen fall in the next stop?

In-depth analysis of US media: Yang Hansen's five potential next players in the NBA, the Rockets lead the way, and the Lakers and Spurs are ranked

In the past week, Chinese star Yang Hansen's outstanding performance in the joint trial has caused widespread discussions between US media. On May 20, College Sports Network conducted an in-depth analysis of Yang Hansen's NBA prospects and listed the five teams that suit him the most. The Rockets ranked first, with the Nets following, with the Lakers, Spurs and Bulls also on the list. The following is a detailed analysis -

TOP 5 Los Angeles Lakers: The Future Puzzle of the Big Ball Market

When it comes to market influence and inside demand, the Lakers are undoubtedly one of Yang Hansen's potential choices. The Purple and Gold Army, which holds the second round pick, is in the transformation period of the post-Anthony Davis era, and finding a potential insider has become a long-term issue for management.

Although it is extremely difficult to fill the gap in "thick eyebrows", Yang Hansen's addition can inject fresh blood into the Lakers. Compared with existing substitute center Jaxson Hayes, Yang Hansen's technical comprehensiveness is more valuable for cultivating. In Los Angeles in the spotlight, his growth trajectory may replicate the "gilding effect" of Yi Jianlian back then.

TOP 4 Chicago Bulls: The best candidate to succeed Vucevic

The Bulls are facing a crisis of aging - the 34-year-old Vucevic is still the starter, but only Zach Collins, Jaylen Smith and other marginal rotations are on the bench. US media even directly benchmarked Yang Hansen's template against Vucevic, and this potential of "seamless connection" made Chicago excited.

If the Bull chooses Yang Hansen, it can not only alleviate the pressure of combat power, but also reserve core for the future. Considering that Vucevic's contract is about to expire, this operation is "preparing for the future".

TOP 3 San Antonio Spurs: Wenban Yama's golden partner?

The Spurs need to find a reliable substitute for the "unicorn" Wenban Yama, and the 38th pick in the second round was Yang Hansen's reasonable landing point. Although fans are more looking forward to fighting power, Popovich's system has always been good at tapping the potential of international players (see Parker and Ginobili).

After studying in the literary class for a year, Yang Hansen is expected to grow into the "inside answer" of the Spurs' long-term plan. After all, in the contemporary NBA, the "two tower" strategy is quietly reviving (such as the Timberwolves' Gobert + Downs).

TOP 2 Brooklyn Nets: The Chinese market 2.0 plan

The Nets signed Cui Yongxi last year and have shown their importance to the Chinese market, and Yang Hansen's arrival will further expand his business territory - especially the preseason scheduled to be held in China next season.

At the competitive level, the future of Nets starting center Clarkston is still unclear. Yang Hansen can not only provide immediate combat power, but also become a long-term puzzle. This win-win strategy of "business + competition" is exactly the usual technique of Nets general manager Sean Max.

TOP 1 Houston Rockets: The "safety lock" behind Shen Jing

The Rockets ranked first with very sufficient reasons:

The core clearly states that Shen Jing is an unshakable core inside, and Yang Hansen does not need to bear the starting pressure;

Substitute vacuum: 31-year-old Adams and 38-year-old Jeff Green are not a long-term solution, and Landale is frequently injured;

Tactical adaptation: Uduka's system emphasizes support from the inside, and Yang Hansen's high-level pass ability is perfectly matched.

If the Rockets choose Yang Hansen with the second round of pick, it is not only an investment in the future, but also a "risk hedging" for Shen Jing.

Who do you want Yang Hansen to fall?

From commercial value to team needs, each team has unique advantages. The Rockets' system, the Lakers' exposure, the Spurs' training, the Nets' market, and the Bulls' opportunities - Yang Hansen's choice may rewrite the NBA chapter of Chinese basketball.
