The Portland Trail Blazers made headlines by selecting 7-foot-2 Chinese center Yang Hansen with the 16th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Early impressions from Summer League have been promising, with Hansen showcasing impressive passing skills that caught the attention of rival coaches and executives. His ability to deliver precise assists and finish strong at the rim indicates he has significant offensive potential.

Hansen is quickly becoming a media favorite, displaying a charismatic personality that suggests a maturity beyond his years. However, there remains uncertainty on how he will fit alongside Donovan Clingan, the Blazers' current young center. If Hansen's performance continues to impress, the Blazers will gladly face this challenge.
