Hansen Yang's latest scouting report is out! 10 Strengths + 6 Deficiencies Career template is Dedmon?

On May 17, Beijing time, the well-known American media HoopsHype gave Yang Hansen's latest scouting report, which listed 10 strengths and 6 weaknesses of Yang Hansen. In addition, some NBA scouts believe that Young's realistic ceiling template is similar to that of NBA center Dedmon. In HoopsHype's draft prediction pick, Young is ranked 44th.

The advantages of Yang Hansen are as follows:

1. Unique big man with a face frame: Outside shooting ability is better than inside finishing - with the ability to shoot at a fixed point and block outside shots.

2. Soft shooting feel and balanced technical movements: Whether it is a step-over three-point or elbow shooting, the movement is smooth.

3. Above-average passing ability: As a center forward, he can complete accurate pass reading in both high and low positions.

4. Reliable back-to-back scorer (0.997 points per round): Possess mature footwork skills and game reading ability.

5. Efficient finishing under the basket: 62.2% overall and 74.0% from close range.

6. Top catch-and-finish threats: Extremely lethal when on dunk points and short distances (1.339 points per round).

7. Ability to punish misalignment: Both hands can complete the finish, and the hook and toss feel stable.

8. Positional defender of the golf quotient: Makes the most of his size advantage in the squat defense, and the overall defense only allows the opponent to score 0.832 points per round.

9. Efficient Basket Protector and Low Post Defender: Good at interfering with shots and rarely committing fouls.

10. Solid feet in the low post: Limit opponents to 46.0% shooting percentage when you're the primary defender.

Yang Hansen's shortcomings are as follows-

1. Limited mobility: Stiff running posture, lack of lateral coverage speed, bulky when switching offenses and changing defenses.

2. Lack of lateral movement speed: It is difficult to deal with flexible players in space defense or switching defenses.

3. Mid-to-long-range shooting still needs to be polished (28.6% three-point shooting, 67.7% free throw shooting, and the video shows that the jump shot is not stable enough).

4. Struggling when handing hands or blocking and dismantling the ball: relying on established tactics to initiate, and weak ability to create opportunities independently.

5. Extremely low desire to dribble to break through: Breakthrough attempts are few and inefficient (only 0.781 points per round for right breaks).

6. Low contribution of transition offense and off-ball movement: Despite being tall, he lacks the threat of aerial catches and the ability to stretch vertical space.

Scouting Reviews:

An NBA scout revealed to HoopsHype that Young's offensive skills such as passing and shooting are similar to Luka Garza (Timberwolves role player).Its realistic ceiling is close to the career trajectory of Dwyane Dedmon (a 10-year NBA center who averaged 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game) — providing reliable rotation time as a space big man and high post playmaker。 Young's combination of spaciousness, passing vision and high ball quotient is expected to be a bench surprise player for teams that need a change of pace at the No.5 position.
