US media talks about 7 low-ranking high-quality players in 25th class: Yang Hansen looks like Shen Jing, North Carolina super gate is on the line

With the deepening of the NBA Finals, in addition to paying attention to the finals, we are also paying more attention to where Durant is and the 2025 draft. The news is now rumored that the Suns may trade to send Durant away before the draft. Some US media also predict that on the 2025 draft day, there may be many transactions in the league. This is considered a year of draft picks, so many teams will be interested in this draft pick.

The 18th draft and 21st draft are all the year of draft picks. Everyone should have seen these two draft picks. Not only did they have many top talents in high rankings, but many teams have also picked up treasures in low rankings. For example, the 18th second round No. 3 pick Brunson, the 21st second round No. 25th pick Grimes, and the 27th pick Cameron Thomas are all good players. Kevin O'Connor, the draft pick expert of Yahoo Sports, recently wrote a post and talked about the 7 players who may play in the 25th. Let's see who are on the list and what are their advantages?

Yang Hansen

If Hansen continues like this, I think he has a chance to enter the first round draft. His trial training has been very outstanding in the past period of time, which is for the Timberwolves to try out again, and this is also his 10th team to try out. He is likely to be selected in the early and late second round. Kevin O'Connor's comment on Yang Hansen is: he has the footsteps of a retro center and the finishing touch at the basket, as well as excellent passing ability, his playing style is close to Shin Kyung and Harten, and his frame protection is also excellent. If his athletic ability is improved, he will become a super skipping fish in the draft.

Derek Powell

Powell is a freshman striker in North Carolina. He was originally considered a five-star high school student. He had poor offensive ability in college, so the draft market fell. However, he showed great potential for role players. O'Connor's evaluation of him is: he can become a role player that every championship team desires, and his opponent's shooting percentage in the penalty area is only 38.1%. If he can regain his jump shot ability in high school in the future, Powell will regain his expectations. He is considered a top ten pick favorite in high school.

Ryan Nemhad

Yes, this is Nemhad's younger brother who is now playing in the finals. Although he is not as high as his brother's defensive talent, Ryan also has his own advantages. He is the assist king of NCAA this year. O'Connor's comment on him is: Nemhard is a typical stadium commander, averaging 9.8 games and only 2.5 turnovers. His three-point shooting percentage is also excellent, and his mid-range jump shot is also very stable. However, his height of 1.83 meters limits his upper limit, but he can become a player like McConaughey who influences the game through basketball wisdom.

Kobe Breya

This may be one of the best three-point shooting ability in this draft. If it weren't for the older draft, his prospects are still worth looking forward to. Breya shot 43.4% of three-point shooting percentage throughout the five years of college. O'Connor's evaluation of him is: he can use screens like professional players to stand firm and take action with a perfect balance. He has a very long shooting range and is extremely fast. His biggest weakness is his lack of athletic ability. If he improves confrontation and improves his defensive ability, he can gain a foothold in the league like Hauser.

Alija Martin

Martin is one of the most athletic players in this draft, but his height is a shortcoming, and his organizational ability as the No. 1 position is not very good. O'Connor's evaluation of him is: he has a strong figure, explosive bounce and confrontational ability to beat weaker players. He plays very positively, has a good attitude on the defensive end, is good at empty cuts on the offensive end, and although three-pointers are not outstanding enough, it is also enough. His toughness allows him to become a contributor to win playing time in the playoffs.

Chazlanier

Raniere has excellent shooting ability. He is also an older draft, so his draft prospects are not optimistic. His three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 39.5%. O'Connor's evaluation of him is: one of the most threatening off-ball shooters in the NCAA. He can not only shoot at a fixed point, but also use screens to catch the ball, and also has good ability to shoot in the emergency stop jump shot. His biggest short position is that he is too short and has poor killing ability at the basket. However, he is a microwave shooter and may become a stable shooter on the team's bench.

Hunt Salis

Salis plays in a traditional backcourt style. He has excellent mid-range emergency stop jump shots, and has hit 252 mid-range shots throughout his senior season, with a terrifying 51.2%. O'Connor's evaluation of him is: a very calm ball-holder, excellent mid-range ability, and a good passing awareness, but he is only 1.93 meters tall. If he wants to be a top wing, he needs to develop more scoring skills. With his outstanding offensive potential, he has the opportunity to become a team's stable second scoring point, similar to the role of CJ.
