Warriors superstar Curry: Yang Hansen has great potential and is huge. He represents Chinese basketball.

On October 11, Warriors star Curry praised Yang Hansen for his potential and bluntly said that he represents international basketball and Chinese basketball.

In the previous game where the Trail Blazers were reversed by the Warriors, Yang Hansen made his NBA preseason debut. He came on as a substitute for 21 minutes and scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist on 2 of 5 shots and 0 of 2 three-pointers. However, he committed too many fouls and committed six fouls at the end of the quarter. After the game, Yang Hansen said that it felt unreal to play against Curry on the same court.

Yang Hansen also said that he did not feel nervous, and frankly said that it felt a bit like a projection from 2K.

Today, the Warriors were interviewed after training. When talking about his impression of Yang Hansen, Curry said: I think he has great potential and a huge figure. He's getting used to the rhythm of the game and so on, which is a good start and we'll meet again next Wednesday. Of course, it is too early to draw a conclusion about a rookie. He represents international basketball and Chinese basketball. This also reflects the growth and expansion of basketball in the true sense.

Talking about Yang Hansen saying that playing against them is like playing 2K games, Curry said: This feeling is quite cool - being able to stay in the league long enough that others will talk about the experience of playing against you.

Yang Hansen is the No. 16 pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA draft. The Trail Blazers also intend to train him, hoping that he can gradually adapt to the NBA, change his bad habits, and improve his physical fitness and confrontation ability; former NBA player Jeremy Lin's advice to Xiao Yang is: the most important thing is mentality. Only by not being afraid of failure can you fully let go.

According to the venue, the Trail Blazers will face the Kings at home today. Yang Hansen will make his home debut in the Trail Blazers career. On October 15, which is next Wednesday, the Trail Blazers will face the Warriors again.
