Selected! Congratulations to Huansinan! Predicted to be the 12th pick in the NBA draft.

Congratulations, as expected.

Huansinan has been selected for the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit World Team roster. Notable players also joining include the superstar from Finland, Murinen.

Before Huansinan, a total of 16 Chinese players have been selected for the Nike Hoop Summit, namely Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Ji Zhe, Chen Jianghua, Zhang Dayu, Sui Ran, Guo Ailun, Wang Zhelin, Gao Shang, Zhou Qi, Fan Ziming, Zhang Zhenlin, Guo Haowen, Zeng Fanbo (did not play), Pang Qingfang, and Zhang Boyuan.

This player was born on May 8, 2007, stands at 2.16 meters tall, and reportedly has a wingspan of 2.30 meters. In last year's U19 World Cup, he averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game. His static and dynamic athletic abilities are quite outstanding, with particularly quick movement speed that allows him to defend against smaller guards without fear. He also possesses some perimeter shooting ability, making his personal style very suitable for the current era of small-ball basketball.

Because of this, Huansinan has a very clear, even unexpectedly bright, draft prospect.In August last year, the American media NBA Draft Room released a 2028 draft prediction list, showing him being selected with the 12th pick in the first round.It's worth noting that Yang Hansen is projected as the 16th pick in the first round for the 2025 draft.

Next, Huansinan will begin his NCAA career. As a four-star high school recruit in the U.S., he has committed to Purdue University. Notable current NBA players from Purdue include Jaden Ivey (5th pick in 2022) and Zach Edey (9th pick in 2024), among others.

Previously, Huansinan explained in an interview why he chose Purdue University over many other prestigious school offers:

1. The team's overall style is more suitable for him;

2. He has better communication with the coaching staff there.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Purdue University did not guarantee Huansinan any playing time. Therefore, at least in his freshman season, he will need to rely on his own hard work and performance to impress the coaching staff and secure a spot amidst intense internal competition.

Additionally, on the NCAA courts next season, we will also see Chinese national youth team standout forward Zhang Boyuan. Zhang also holds numerous offers from prestigious schools but has not yet made his college decision.
