US media analyzes Yang Hansen s five potential next players: Rockets rank first and Nets second, and Lakers and Spurs are also on the list

Basketball

On May 20, Yang Hansen, who performed well in the joint trial training, has caused heated discussions in the US media. US media College Sports Network today analyzed Yang Hansen's five potential next players. The Rockets ranked second in the Nets, and the Lakers, Spurs and Bulls were also on the list. The following is the ranking and analysis of the US media -

No. 5. If you want to find a big-market team that urgently needs inside players, the Los Angeles Lakers will take the lead. The Lakers may choose Yang Hansen in the second round - this is their first draft since the former inside core Anthony Davis left the team. Now is the time to look to the future and find a successor.

Of course, filling the gap left by Davis is no easy task, but the Lakers need to start looking for the next inside answer. If Yang Hansen joins one of the most exposed teams in the world, his competitiveness will be greater than existing player Hayes.

No. 4 Chicago Bulls

Similar to the Lakers, the Chicago Bulls are also a big-market team, and an inside player is in urgent need of a complete rotation lineup. In the 2024-25 season, their center position was led by 34-year-old Vucevic, and the substitutes included 27-year-old mediocre insider Zach Collins, inexperienced Jaylen Smith and EJ Liddle.

Vucevic is still an excellent player, but his age has shown an impact and the Bulls need to plan for the future. Selecting Yang Hansen at this time can not only fill the gap in combat power, but also reserve long-term strength for the inside. It is worth mentioning that some US media listed Yang Hansen's template as Vucevic.

No. 3 The San Antonio Spurs are in urgent need of finding a qualified substitute for the rising star Vinban Yama. If they want to increase the depth of the center position (which is obviously necessary), they can completely use the 38th draw in the second round to get Yang Hansen.

Although many fans expect the Spurs to sign more experienced substitute centers, studying together for a year with Wenban Yama may make Yang Hansen a promising member of the Spurs' long-term plan - after all, in the basketball world, there will never be too many high-quality inside players.

No. 2 Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets have long won the favor of Chinese fans by signing Cui Yongxi in the offseason last year. Choi Yongxi played for the Nets' Development League affiliate team, the Captain Island Nets at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, until she was cut after suffering a torn ACL. Signing Yang Hansen has a lot of significance to the Nets -

means improving combat power: the future of the existing insider Clarkston is doubtful, and Yang Hansen can directly strengthen the inside;

Market value: The Nets can expand the Chinese market around Yang Hansen, including the preseason scheduled to be held in China next season.

No. 1 Houston Rockets

2024-25 season, Shin Kyung continued to perform well in the third season. The 22-year-old star is obviously the future core of the Rockets' inside. Choosing Yang Hansen will not affect Shin Kyung's status, but the hidden dangers of the Rockets lies in Shin Kyung's configuration behind Shin Kyung - 31-year-old Steven Adams, Jock Langdale, 38-year-old Jeff Green, and Jabbarry Smith, who has insufficient experience in transitioning to the inside.

After joining, Yang Hansen did not need to compete with Shen Jing for the starter, but he could fill the age gap and experience gap on the bench - in this position, he had almost no substantial competitors.
