Recently, Assistant Yang Yi broke the news that Qingdao Club did not let Yang Hansen participate in this year's NBA Draft, which triggered a series of discussions, and it can be said that half of them support and half of them do not support it. One is that the team management mainly said that if there is no stable playing time, it is of little significance for Yang Hansen to participate in the NBA draft, and the other is that 2024 is a small year for the NBA draft, according to the previous draft website predictions, Yang Hansen still has a good chance of being selected, even if he can't play regular games, it is better than playing in the CBA playoffs.
Yang Hansen is currently 19 years old, the position on the court is a center, in his debut season in the CBA, Yang Hansen played 49 times in the CBA league, playing an average of 34.3 minutes per game, can contribute 15.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.2 blocks, the three shooting rates are 55.2%, 20.0%, 62.2%, of which the rebounds rank fourth in the league, and the blocks are second only to Sichuan foreign aid Obekpa.
First of all, from the perspective of the team management, in their opinion, on the one hand, Yang Hansen is still very young, there is no need to be in a hurry, although he played an All-Star level performance in his first CBA season, but did not show super dominance, as a comparison, we will compare the performance of Yang Hansen with several other Chinese players before entering the NBA, first of all, Yao Ming, as the champion of the NBA draft in 02, Yao Ming averaged 29.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the last season of the CBA before entering the NBA, and the shooting percentage was a terrifying 69.9% and also has a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40%.
Yi Jianlian was selected with the sixth pick in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, and the highest draft pick after Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian averaged 24.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in the 06-07 season. Zhou Qi was selected with the 13th pick in the second round of the 2016 draft, and in the 16-17 season, Zhou Qi averaged 16.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. Needless to say, Yao Ming, as a player in the NBA Hall of Fame, I believe that even if Yang Hansen trains in the CBA for a few more years, it will be difficult to achieve that kind of dominance, and the closest thing at present is Zhou Qi's performance, but Zhou Qi did not appear after entering the NBA. Therefore, it is reasonable for him not to support Yang Hansen to participate in the draft.
From the point of view that Yang Hansen will participate in the NBA draft this year, first of all, NBA draft expert Wang Jian said that he hopes that Yang Hansen will sign up for the draft and give himself one more chance to try and evaluate. It is necessary to create an environment and culture that encourages bold experimentation in order for the men's basketball team to see hope again, and Bao Renjun, a reporter based in the American Cavaliers, said: Although I think it is a small probability event to play, I still agree with this statement: Yang Hansen will go to the NBA first to try. This is the same reason that I think college graduates should go to bigger cities, if you can go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, you should not go back to Shandong, if you can go to Qingdao and Jinan, you should not go back to Linyi, and if you can go to Linyi, you should not go back to the county. Despite the uncertain and uncertain future, there are more opportunities on a bigger stage. “
There are many more direct points of view, that is, in their opinion, even if Yang Hansen may face no official games after entering the NBA, but even so, there are still normal training of the team, as well as games in the development league can be played, and the advanced concepts, techniques and tactics brought by these games to Yang Hansen are not given by the current CBA, that is to say, in the eyes of the outside world, the limitations of the CBA's own development, no matter how long Yang Hansen stays in the CBA in the future, he will not be able to improve.
Just like the previous men's basketball head coach Djordjevic's point of view, he expects our top local players to go out, because there is no need to repeat the same training over and over again in the CBA to maintain their condition, especially those players who stand at the top of the league, they have long been accustomed to the level of the league, and they have never been able to break through their bottlenecks in the long run, take Zhao Jiwei as an example, as the absolute No. 1 position in China, but his performance in the national team is difficult for him and the outside world to accept, in fact, we found that even if the kind of players who have overseas overseas experience, their confidence on the court will be higher than that of many local players。 So whether it is reasonable for Yang Hansen to run for the election, in general, you are playing for yourself and not for others, and the final decision is handed over to Yang Hansen.
