Yang Hansen s development is not as good as expected? Team reporter: He only played a total of 68 minutes. The fans are always impatient.

November 25th Today Dave Deckard issued a post in response to questions about Yang Hansen in fans’ mailboxes. The following is part of the content.

Some fans wrote and said that they could not see Yang Hansen's ability, while some other rookies in the same class have already made contributions. Let us first confirm a few facts you mentioned:

-Yang Hansen did not play much playing time, averaging only 8.5 minutes per game in 8 games.

-His performance is not impressive enough, averaging 3.5 points and 1.9 rebounds per game, shooting only 32.3% from the field, and his rebounds are not high. Although passing is one of his strengths, his assist-to-turnover ratio is currently unsatisfactory.

-Other rookies near him in the draft, such as Coward (26.4 minutes per game) and Derek Quinn (24.2 minutes per game), have made more contributions. But if you can judge Yang Hansen's future based on 68 total minutes of playing time, you're better at evaluating players than I am.

At present, it seems that Yang Hansen has the characteristics that the Blazers expected when they drafted him: reasonable mobility, excellent passing ability and basic shooting skills facing the basket. While he hasn't fully demonstrated those abilities yet, you can see the bridge from now to the future.

In order to improve, Yang Hansen needs to speed up his reaction speed on the court, learn to use his physical advantages, improve his finishing skills, improve his long-range shooting, and become more comfortable in the NBA. For many rookies, crossing that bridge takes time.

Point guard is generally considered the most difficult position to develop, with center the second most difficult. Point guards can at least cover up developmental mistakes by controlling the ball and scoring, but a player like Young doesn't have that luxury. Every one of his mistakes is exposed, either invisible or completely exposed. This makes him more vulnerable to criticism than other rookies.

So we can sum up the Q&A with an old saying: Give it some time. Fans are always very impatient, that's part of their nature. Not every player can blossom quickly, but most deserve a chance. Hansen Yang hasn't gotten his chance yet.
