Yahoo Sports: It is recommended that the Pistons use the No. 37 pick to choose Yang Hansen to enhance the strength of the inside

June 10th, Yahoo Sports reporter Nathaniel Holloway wrote an article about Chinese center Yang Hansen. He suggested that the Pistons can choose Yang Hansen with the only No. 37 sign. The following is all.

The Detroit Pistons are expected to pick "outstanding rebounders" in the draft to strengthen their inside skills. They just had an impressive season, leaping from a league bottom team to a playoff team. The Pistons have been one of the worst NBA teams in the past two seasons, but this year they have made a comeback and made the playoffs as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Although they were eliminated after six hard fights with the New York Knicks in the first round, they proved that Detroit basketball has returned strongly. Now, the Pistons are entering the offseason and hope to build a team around three core players, Cunningham, Osal Thompson and Durham. In the 2025 NBA Draft, the Pistons had only one draft pick. According to ClutchPoints reporter Siegel, they will choose Chinese center Yang Hansen at the 37th pick. “Yang is an excellent rebounder, with great footwork skills at low posts, but he needs to be more defensive and stance to play a bigger role in the game,” Siegel wrote. "The Pistons can risk choosing Young at this position because they need to increase the depth of the frontcourt."

Segel's point makes sense, the Pistons do need to strengthen the depth of the frontcourt this summer, and Young may be the perfect choice, especially after a great NBA draft joint trial. This season in the Chinese League, the 7-foot-2 center averaged 16.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 blocks per game, shooting 55.4% from the field and 22.6% from three-pointers. Although Young is still developing his scoring and defensive abilities, he has the potential to be a surprise in the draft if he keeps improving, especially when he is only 19 years old. Young will bring much-needed heights to the Pistons and provide another reliable defender, an important feature of the Pistons’ game this season.
