Hansen Yang, Flag, Harper, and the 2025 draft, etc.

Hansen Yang, Portland Trail Blazers, No. 16 rookie in 2025 NBA.

There are many possibilities in the future, but it is not easy either.

has said before: Compared with the draft position, future playing time and space are worth caring about.

Yang Hansen's advantages are actually 7 feet tall, height, wingspan, solid cover and incisive steps, good habits - Duncan/Gasol-style arm lifting - prediction and smooth movement.

But not fast enough. Defensive relies on prediction.

His most suitable reference object is Bucks version Bogut and Raptors version Gasol, and he is a little bit of Boltel of the Raptors today.

In today's NBA, teams that stock up on big centers are generally used to set the tone for starting (the Grizzlies use Eddie, the Bucks use Lopez, and the Thunder use Harten); the substitute insiders seeks to be quick and quick. He is suitable for teams that hand over a lot of hands, high cover, and will let the ball pass through the inside and play with hands in the middle of the game.

Go to a strong team and you need to fight immediately, and you don’t have that much time to try.

Trail Blazers are a reconstruction team with enough room for trial and error.

The Trail Blazers had just sent Anxi away before and had to return to veteran Holiday. Assuming that Yang Hansen stays in the Trail Blazers and is not traded, the Trail Blazers next season will probably be:

Changxi coach and Holiday comeback, Scudt + Sharp starts, Affodyya and Kamala are in a stable position.

Yang Hansen wants to compete with Klingen (seventh in the draft last year)? ——Young, Klingen and Ayton cannot stay all, and Loway is likely to send it away?

On the contrary, the Trail Blazers have always been obsessed with centers that can support them and are willing to bet on centers - Walton, Bowie (selected before Jordan), Oden (selected before Durant)...

(and of course He Shengzhen...)

Let's see the subsequent operations.

No matter what, stepping in is the first step. Without the first step, everything is zero. Only with the first step can there be infinite possibilities.

Cooper Flag, No. 1 pick in 2025, there is no suspense.

In other words, the Flag draft template said it was Pipen/Tatum. I think the extension of his tactical end may be: KG and AK47.

Body size, Flag is not as long as KG's hands and feet, and is closer to Tatum/Ingram/George/Bozzer/AK47. Large forward.

panacea oil, you can use it at any position.

In terms of his size, he has a large stride, smooth movement, large coverage, and perfect defense.

After grabbing the position, you can end up with a tough stern, and you can be skilled in pick-and-roll duo.

The first step, especially when the ball is held on the weak side and attacks to fill up the position, it is fast and accurate.

After grabbing the position, there will be back hit and left shoulder hook shot - in this era, there will be more wings on the right shoulder and fewer wings who will be willing to go in and hook shot.

Being competitive, working hard, and being serious, defense is the key weapon.

But: Not a ball-holding genius (cannot become Luca), not a scoring kaleidoscope (cannot become melon), not a natural shooter (cannot become Bird).

It sounds nice and said: He can do anything.

It’s not good to say: There is no trick in the offensive end.

—As he talked, he thought of Jaylen Williams…but Jayway played point guard in college.

said that Flag is like Pipen, probably based on "filling all gaps, especially on the defensive end - except for the main attack."

Compared to Tatum, his technical details are not very similar: Tatum relies more on long pitching feel, and the lower plate is not his strength.

Flag is harder and harder, and prefers chiseling: In terms of personal attack, Flag is more like Jimmy Butler than Tatum - a high-ball striker. He can support and have killing. When he cannot break through with the ball, he turns into a pace, cut in, cover, and without the ball. He is smart and can integrate into the system.

But in tactical role - rather than technical performance - Flag may play the role of KG and Tatum - off-topic, in 2022, I told people that Alexander is very close to Wade in tactical role (breakthrough, free throw, mid-range shot). At that time, my friend questioned, didn’t he like Kobe?

The role of 2008KG and 2024 Tatum: neither the offense is the most stable, and the playing style is completely different, but as the entire lineup: defense, passing, decision-making, and being a "defense end to make everything, and the offense end lubricate everything", forming an all-around forward with a misaligned lineup against the opponent, so that the team can run any lineup: Flag can be this role.

He averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in his career. If he is healthy, he will be guaranteed to be a PJ Washington defense + Randall's offense.

But compared to Alexander, Giannis, Luca and Jokic, who have proved that they can win the lead attackers of the finals, Flag - and Vinban Yama - are more like "We contract everything else for the team, now you give me a main attacker!"

Just like Tatum needs his Jaylen Brown, KG needs his Pierce. Kirilenko was the MVP of the European Men's Basketball Team in 2007 and led the team to win the championship. But the main attacker of the champion Russia that year was a naturalized American: JR Holden.

The Spurs' selection of Dylan Harper is also a normal operation.

Explosion power and speed are not the best, but you can find the gap by reading and pick-and-roll.

Dad is Ron Harper, an old man who has taken a bunch of rings with Jordan Pipenkobe, and there is no need to doubt the business of basketball learning mentality.

When he was less than 20 years old, he was tall and strong, and could adapt to the NBA as soon as possible. When his father won the championship on Payton's head, he publicly complained about Payton's back attack and defense, and Payton couldn't help but complain.

Everyone says that Harper looks like Harden, but when Harden entered the industry, the draft template was once Ginobili...

Spurs: Speaking of the left-handed high-seller who can pick-and-roll and free throws? Then I won't be sleepy.

In a year, the Spurs back line from Jones, Wesley and Branhan.

became Fox + Castle + Harper.

I have a sense of "rationality I know that trading one of Fox and Castle is better for the Spurs as a whole, but emotionally I hope they all stay ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

is waiting for Wenban Yama to come back.

Philadelphia chose VJ Echcombe.

Very Philadelphia 76ers' choice: "His genius is obviously obvious. The talent is extremely talented and passionate. We want to do this! - What do you say that he is not only good in health, but also good in other baskets. They pass the ball and dribble the ball? This is something you can practice! No one can play in one's life! We have to choose talent and then slowly grind it! Don't have someone to run with Maxi! Just have someone to run with Maxi!! Look at Osal and Cunningham next door, why can't we do this!"

The Hornets chose Knuper.

So Bailey went to the jazz.

Pelle refused to try out before and tried to decide where he was going, but now he has gone to Salt Lake City...Who was the last boy who voluntarily mentioned that he wanted to go to Salt Lake City? …Hibert? …

I doubt that after Danny Angie chose him, she would stay with the Jazz to perform well, or would sell it on the spot. "I know Bailey doesn't necessarily like Salt Lake City. He has a basket and a figure (you don't question his true height), and can be a Porter/George. It's not surprising that he plays like Durant in a certain month. Does anyone want it?"

Washington chose Trey Johnson, one of the most cunning shoters of this year.

This morning, the Wizards recruited CJ McIlome, Middleton and Smart, which was like a tutor.

"A good shooting seedling, you have to let two shooting masters polish it! - Don't learn to shoot from Smart! Learn his defense!"

I guess Trey Johnson will be the rookie scoring champion next season.

Pelicans chose Fears. The big brother that the team taught him to choose for shooting was Poole. The big brother who taught him to maintain his body shape was Fat Tiger. He has to pass the ball to these two.

...Isn't it a bit scary?

Nets chose Deming, and I understand it is "We can't get the peak Bensey, so we decided to choose our own Bensey."

Raptors chose Murray Boyles - they need a reliable forward from Millsap/Blair? Or simply think his arm span is interesting?

The Suns chose Maruacci - and then came from the Hornets to exchange for Mawei.

Their team already had Richards and Prelenley sent by the Hornets. Four centers.

Next season, the Suns guard will play two tables of mahjong alone, and the center will play one table of mahjong alone?

(It's better if Durant leaves)

The Trail Blazers chose Coward and sent the Grizzlies - he is not a genius, but he will be much, and he will work hard, he will not be stiff in the game, and he is good at integrating.

I understand it: The Grizzlies chose their new Bain.

(By the way, he and Boyles feel good for Thunder)

Bulls, Eisenger.

He is tall and can run very well. He is polishing the offense, but the basket and defense change have been trained. Another typical French child, "the flexibility of the 3rd position is the 5th position, but he is a little thin and he is slowly practicing."

It should be good to go back and forth with Giddy.

The Pelicans chose Quinn.

Queen is the perfect pick-and-roll machine, but his defense with Fat Tigers...Imagine a slow version of Cousins ​​+ a fat version of Barkley's inside?

Plus Poole's outside shooting choice and the passing of the rookie Philes to them.

is like a bowl of elbow sauce, a portion of fried crispy meat, a bowl of yogurt blueberries and a dish of avocado Thousand Island Sauce salad.

It’s not that you can’t eat, but…

The Spurs chose Carter Bryant—this name!

Thunder chose Sobo. 229 cm wingspan, you can score in the inside line, and you feel that it is two extremes and Chet (thinness). If you keep it well, you can replace Hatten.

He is not explosive enough, but the Thunder's talent show vision is always right, just listen.

Timberwolves chose Bellinger.

The Timberwolves has another baguette. To be precise, the Timberwolves' "Long and Quickly Change the Protection Basket in the Rough Forest" has another tree. Sir

chose Clayton.

By 2029, will he be a deputy attacker in the Jazz, or will he appear in a certain trade to serve as a deputy attacker for a strong team in the rotation of a ball holder, or will he become famous nationwide after shooting a key goal in a certain game in the playoffs? I can't guess, either.

Nets chose Traore.

It was quite shocking for me to fall here. The French media had previously imagined that he could reach the top five and would become the lifelong partner of Wenban Yama.

The Nets chose him, was it "if Deming becomes Bensi in reality, then at least some of us organize an offense"?

As mentioned before, Yang Hansen's future space is more worthy of attention than focusing on the draft pick.

But the draft pick also has some significance: the No. 16 draft pick is the highest pick in the NBA draft since Yi Jianlian - not a big bet, but not a small one: the investment has been invested, and the Trail Blazers will give Yang Hansen a chance, so it should be.

And with old champions like Chauncey and Holiday, you can learn more if you spend a moment together.
