Yang Hansen only received a D rating! The US media "BleacherReport" announced the performance of 25-year-old rookies two weeks after the start of the new NBA season. Among them, Edgcomb, the 76ers' top pick, received an A grade, and Flagg, the top pick who was temporarily in trouble due to role positioning issues, also received a B- grade.

Mavericks: B- (Flager)

Data: 13.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists

Flagg, the No. 1 pick, entered the NBA with high expectations as the "Son of America". However, the performance since the beginning of the season has been far below expectations, with the overall shooting rate as low as 38.8%.

The reason why Flagg performed so poorly was not because of Flagg's poor ability, but because Kidd forced him to transform from power forward to ball-handling point guard. As a result, Flagg was unable to display his strengths as a rookie. Instead, his shortcomings in ball-handling and organizational skills were all exposed.

Therefore, the US media gave Flagg a B- rating, because Flagg still showed eye-catching comprehensiveness in an uncomfortable role positioning, especially his defensive performance on the defensive end, which made his lower limit extremely high. In addition, Kidd has trained monsters like Antetokounmpo. I believe Flagg will usher in rapid improvement after passing through the painful period.

Spurs: A (Harper)

Data: 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3.8 assists

In just two weeks since the start of the season, second-place pick Harper has used his performance to prove why he is the only rookie in 25 years who has the potential to challenge Flagg for the top pick. He ranks third among rookies in scoring per game, seventh in rebounds, and tied for second in assists.

In the absence of Fox and the strong transformation of Bunyama, Harper plays the green leaf role without scrambling. He is calm, efficient, solid and practical on both offense and defense. He is a super star whose ability and style of play fully meet the requirements of the Spurs. He has great momentum to grow into the second leader of the Spurs.

It was also with the help of his seamless integration that the Spurs won 5 consecutive victories at the beginning of the season despite being short of major generals. In the future, with the improvement of ball rights and shooting, Harper is bound to become an important puzzle piece for the rise of the Spurs.

76ers: A (Edgecomb)

Data: 19.5 points, 6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals

After the 76ers selected McCain, a super star in 2024, they again In 2025, he used the third overall pick to acquire VJ Edgecombe, a top star. Since the beginning of the season, he has been the undisputed best rookie in 2025. He ranks first in points, assists, and steals per game in the same class, and ranks third in rebounds in the same class. He also shoots 43.2% of his three-pointers.

More importantly, Edgecombe's team environment and role positioning are far inferior to Flagg and Harper. Especially when Embiid comes on the court, he has no tactical status at all and can only squat in the bottom corner.

Even so, Edgecomb still seized every opportunity to prove himself in a limited role, and he is expected to grow into a super giant in the future.

Trail Blazers: D (Yang Hansen)

Statistics: 1.8 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.4 assists

Yang Hansen's performance since the start of the season has been disappointing. In sharp contrast to his outstanding performance in the summer league and preseason, it also led to consecutive DNP encounters in the past two games, so he received a D rating.

Yang Hansen currently faces a lot of challenges. After the promotion of new coach Split, the Trail Blazers currently do not have a dedicated center assistant coach. At the same time, Split has significantly accelerated the pace since becoming the head coach, frequently using "5 small lineups", compressing the playing time of all center players.

In addition, Yang Hansen failed to seize the opportunity at the beginning of the season, Lowe returned from injury, and Reese also completed his self-proof. As a result, Yang Hansen could only start as the fourth center and slowly wait for opportunities to return to the rotation. The good news is that team reporter Freeman revealed that the Blazers are not disappointed and are still patient with Yang Hansen and still focus on Yang Hansen's future development.
