The revelation of the No. 16th pick in the first round of the NBA in the past decade to Yang Hansen

(1) Career length

5 of the 10 players have faded out of the NBA, accounting for 50%.

The five No. 16 picks from 2015 to 2019, two players no longer played in the NBA, and these three players played for two and four seasons respectively.

One of the five No. 16 picks from 2020 to 2024 has faded out of the NBA.

Data analysis shows that the yield rate of the NBA No. 16 show in the past five years is higher than the yield rate in the previous five years. Among the two centers in the past five years, Shin Kyung has been the core of the team, and Stewart is an important player in the team's interior.

We can know that the No. 16 pick in the first round of the NBA is not safe, and there is also a significant probability of unemployment. This means that Yang Hansen needs to face the competition with a more serious attitude, otherwise, he will fade out of the NBA at any time.

(II) Starting or substitute

Through analyzing the careers of 10 players, other players are more responsible for substitutes in the team, and the starting proportion does not exceed 60%.

If you analyze the trend of the No. 16 pick in the past 10 years, Yang Hansen will most likely start from a substitute in the new season and will be promoted to the starter in some games.

(Wednesday) Rookie season playing time

The five No. 16 rookies in the five years between 2015 and 2019 were 8/7.1/4/18.5/25.2, with an average of 12.56 minutes.

The No. 16th pick rookie seasons in the past five seasons were 21.4/20.7/19.5/27/25.7, with an average of 22.86 minutes.

If you follow the trend analysis in the past five years, Yang Hansen will play for more than 20 minutes. Of course, considering the situation between 2015 and 2019, it is not ruled out that Yang Hansen plays in single digits.
