US media: Everyone loves Yang Hansen, and some fans have already taken him & Klingen compared with the Spurs double towers

August 4th, August 4th, US media Last Wordon Sports published an article talking about Yang Hansen, and the following is some of the content.

After the 2025 NBA Draft, the future of the Portland Trail Blazers has become a hot topic. Many insiders find it hard to believe that they chose Yang Hansen with the 16th pick. Although he was a little confused, everyone was full of expectations for him, especially because he was labeled as "China Jokic". And Yang is proving that he is a good choice for the pioneers.

The 2025 NBA Summer League is full of hope for the Trail Blazers, and the team helped Yang Hansen improve his game. Although it may be a bit exaggerated to call him "China's Nikola Jokic", he does have some of the styles of Serbian stars. At the same time, the Trail Blazers players are also very excited to play with him. Many of his teammates went to Summer United, including Donovan Klingen. Many expect them to compete for the center position for a long time, but Klingen is very supportive of Young. Most Trail Blazers players praised Yang.

Through the summer league performance, the Trail Blazers have realized that they have received an excellent player. His biggest highlight is his organizational ability, and he has a natural feeling about the game. In addition, with his height, he is also an excellent basket protector. His rebounding needs to be improved, but he is often able to get his opponents stuck and let his teammates grab rebounds. Young should be more aggressive in rebounding because he has enough height advantage to beat the others.

With these unique skills, Yang is expected to become a long-term contributor to the Trail Blazers. He may not be "Chinese Jokic", but as long as he can stay efficient, he may become excellent. Some fans have begun to compare Yang Hansen, Klingen and the Spurs' double towers. The future of the pioneers is bright. This bodes well for the team as they want a place in the playoffs. Although it is still developing, with veterans like Holiday and Damian Lillard helping to lead, the team has the right direction. Finding the right balance will be difficult, but Billups is ready to deal with this challenge. This is a good question because the Trail Blazers have emerged from mediocrity and have built a team with strength. Now, they need to use their performance on the court to realize this potential.
