Such a high review! ESPN: Yang Hansen is expected to become an All-Star and lead the Trail Blazers to compete for the championship

Chinese player Yang Hansen was selected in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft and joined the Trail Blazers.

ESPN columnist and data expert Kevin Pelton, who wrote an article review of Hansen Yang, wrote: "Hensen is expected to become an All-Star player and lead the Trail Blazers to compete for the championship. What we know is that other teams do not value Hensen as much as Portland, which means the Trail Blazers bet on their own vision to surpass the market."

"The Trail Blazers gained an additional first-round pick through downward trades, which is commendable. But if possible, they could have followed the Hawks' trading strategy, which would have been more beneficial."
