Trail Blazers, the three-core team building is clear! Yang Hansen is Shen Jing! Avdija and Sharp are the best partners

One day has passed, and the wonderful picture of Yang Hansen with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist is still rolling in my mind! Although there is only one game sample, it is enough for the Blazers to clearly build a three-core model of the team!

Yang Hansen has three-pointers that open up the space, the ability to support in the high post, and the skills of low-post singles. His physical fitness and defense have been slightly polished. His development template is between Shen Jing and Jokic. Let’s cultivate him into Shen Jing!

Taking stock of the potential young players in the Trail Blazers, 20-year-old Yang Hansen, 22-year-old Sharp, and 24-year-old Avdija are on the same timeline. The combination of these three yesterday gave people good guesses about the future.

Avdija, last season, averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%. He has comprehensive skills and is positioned as an organizational small forward.

Yesterday, Yang Hansen was able to score 14 points in a single quarter. The first 6 points and the two three-pointers he scored came from Avdija's breakthrough, giving Yang Hansen an open three-pointer from the bottom corner and the top of the key.

This guy is a bit like a poor man's version of Durant. Since he was traded to the Trail Blazers in the middle of last season, he has averaged 20.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 44.1%!

Let’s talk about Sharp, the No. 7 pick in the first round of 2022. His physical talent explodes and he flies into the sky. Last season he averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, but his three-point shooting rate was only 31.1%.

Yesterday, Xiao Yang passed an assist to the baseline in seconds, allowing Sharp to jump into the air and dunk. In a trance, people saw Amen Thompson! However, Sharp's defense and three-pointers are areas that need improvement.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Trail Blazers are expected to reach a 4-year, 100 million contract extension in advance with Sharp, and the latter will become one of the cornerstones of the team.

In this way, the core trident of Yang Hansen (center) + Avdija (forward) + Sharp (shooting guard) is completed. I hope that these two brothers will take over Xiao Yang next season and let him catch up quickly. Then the future of the Blazers will be just around the corner~
