Yang Hansen's joint trial was good

In the 5V5 game on the first day of the NBA joint trial, Yang Hansen played 19 minutes, made 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. In the 5V5 game the next day, Yang Hansen played for 13 minutes, made 3 of 4 shots, scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block. In these two games, Yang Hansen had low playing time, but his efficiency was very high. In the second game, we saw Yang Hansen show his passing organization ability and gave 6 assists.

Jokic was once the second round pick in the NBA. He was not noticed before participating in the NBA draft. Later, Jokic achieved great success in the NBA, leading the Nuggets to win the championship, winning the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP! Yang Hansen's performance in the joint trial training was amazing, and each team is still very concerned about Yang Hansen.

league executives suggested that Yang Hansen play NCAA

joint trials, which added points to Yang Hansen, but it was not enough to guarantee that he was selected by the NBA team. It is far from enough to rely on two joint trials alone. ESPN draft expert Givony suggested that Yang Hansen withdraw from the election this year and go to the United States to play the NCAA. He believes that Yang Hansen will need one to two years to reach the best state of the draft. If it can be improved, there will be a chance for the first round of the 2026 draft. It is not certain whether the CBA league is the best platform for insufficient improvement. Many league executives expressed their hope to see Yang Hansen come to the NCAA to play. After all, NBA league executives still believe that the level of the CBA league is too low, and Yang Hansen can improve his visit to the NCAA.

Yang Hansen's biggest advantage is his age. He was born in 2005, at the age of 19, and his career has just begun. We hope that Yang Hansen was selected by the NBA team this year. Even if he was not selected, it doesn't matter. He is still young. He can play in the NCAA for a year or the NBA Development League for a year. No matter what, Yang Hansen should not return to the CBA league.
