Yang Hansen’s latest scout report is released! 10 advantages + 6 shortcomings. Is Dedmont the career template?

On May 17, the well-known US media HoopsHype gave Yang Hansen's latest scout report, which listed Yang Hansen's 10 advantages and 6 shortcomings. In addition, some NBA scouts believe that Yang Hansen's realistic upper limit template is similar to NBA center Dedmont. In HoopsHype's draft prediction ranking, Yang Hansen ranked 44th.

Yang Hansen's advantages are as follows -

1. Unique face frame big man: his outside shooting ability is better than the inside finishing - he has fixed-point shooting and pick-and-roll external bounce ability.

2. Soft shooting feel and balanced technical movements: Whether it is a three-pointer or an elbow shooting, the movements are smooth.

3. Over-average pass ability: As a center, you can complete accurate pass reading at high and low positions.

4. Reliable back-to-body scorer (scoring 0.997 points per round): Have mature footwork skills and game reading ability.

5. Efficient ending at the basket: overall shooting percentage is 62.2%, and close two-point shooting percentage is 74.0%.

6. Top catch end threat: extremely lethal when dunking points and short distances (scoring 1.339 points per round).

7. Have the ability to punish misalignment: both hands can complete the end, and the hook and throwing feel is stable.

8. The position-type defender of the high ball quotient: Make full use of the body shape advantage in squatting defense, and the overall defense only gives the opponent 0.832 points per round.

9. Efficient basket protectors and low-post defenders: good at interfering in shooting and rarely fouls.

10. Strong footsteps in low post defense: When as the main defender, the opponent's shooting percentage is limited to 46.0%.

Yang Hansen's shortcomings are as follows -

1. Limited movement ability: the running posture is stiff, the lateral coverage speed is insufficient, and it seems bulky when converting offense and changing defense.

2. Lack of lateral movement speed: It is difficult to deal with flexible players in space defense or switching defense.

3. Mid- and long-distance shooting still needs to be polished (three-point shooting percentage is 28.6%, free throw shooting percentage is 67.7%, and the video shows that the jump shot is not stable enough).

4. Struggle when handing hands or pick-and-roll holding ball: initiated by relying on established tactics, and the ability to create opportunities independently is weak.

5. The desire to break through the ball is extremely low: there are few breakthrough attempts and low efficiency (the right-hand breakthrough scores only 0.781 points per round).

6. Conversion offense and off-ball movement have low contribution: Despite its tall figure, it lacks the ability to connect to the threat of the space and vertical space.

Scout review

An NBA scout revealed to HoopsHype that Young's offensive skills such as passing and shooting are similar to Luca Garza (a role player in Timberwolves). Its realistic ceiling is close to Dwayne Dedmon (center who played for 10 years in the NBA, averaging 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in his career) - providing reliable rotation time as a space-based big man and high-level defender. Yang combines the characteristics of space opening, passing vision and high-ball quotient, and is expected to become a bench surprise in a team that requires a change in rhythm at the fifth position.
