On April 10, it was reported that a few days ago, the Qingdao team's young inside Yang Hansen did not participate in the 2024 NBA draft, which caused heated discussions in the outside world.
In the regular season this season, Yang Hansen played in 51 games and started all of them, averaging 33.8 minutes per game, scoring 15 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.2 blocks.
According to domestic media reports, Qingdao young center Yang Hansen will not participate in this year's NBA draft. The head coach of the Qingdao team, Liu Weiwei, also confirmed the news, believing that Yang Hansen is still too young and does not have all the conditions, and the club hopes that he will stay in the CBA to continue to improve himself and wait until the conditions are right before going to the NBA.
In this regard, Wang Jian, a European basketball expert and NBA draft expert, posted on social media that he regretted it.
Wang Jian wrote: Yang Hansen will not participate in the election has long been a foregone conclusion, whether this year is a big year or a small year, whether it is worth it to test the draft this year, there is no point in talking about many things, of course, this is in line with expectations, CBA clubs currently deal with such things in the same way, so many years in the NBA there has been no face of Chinese players, it is rare to have a chance and potential to break through the seedlings, many people have given expectations, hoping that some enlightened clubs can appear, but the reality is often cruel。 I have said so much in the past two days because I hope to call on more clubs and more people to change the traditional perception.
"Only if you have the potential of the first round, you are worth trying, otherwise the NBA team will not develop you well at all, and going there is a waste of time and a waste of yourself, it is better to stay in China and have a stable playing time guarantee and a good salary. "I didn't understand the CBA, you look at what XXX did in the CBA back then?
In addition, Wang Jian also broke the news: Before Shougang agreed to Xiao Zeng to participate in the draft, he once added a condition that made me laugh, that is, if you can be selected in the first round, you will be let go to the United States, if it is the second round, you will not be released, and you will go back to the CBA to play. It's really amazing, obviously your own level is not good, your vision is still so high, you have to wait for others to invite you, you go, how many years can China have such a seedling to produce another one?
So if Yuta Watanabe is in China, he will never be able to get a formal contract in the NBA, the club will not let you go, and the experts will analyze it for you and tell you that you don't have the conditions to play in the NBA at all. Competitive sports are pursuing higher, faster and stronger, and should create a kind of environment atmosphere of pursuing dreams and having the courage to break through themselves, so as to be a benign environment, but we are diametrically opposite, creating resistance for players and creating a cultural atmosphere of office workers who are content with the status quo and stable words. It is necessary to get out of the comfort zone, not to create a comfort zone, so that the flowers of the greenhouse can only be cultivated.
Of course, you don't want young players to try blindly, before you need to make a good assessment according to your own situation, find a good breeding platform to prepare for the NBA, but can this platform only be CBA? Or is CBA the best breeding platform for young players with NBA potential? My answer is no.
In this regard, netizens said, "That's right, CBA is like going to work, All-Stars are like annual meetings, just have fun by yourself"
"If there is a player who can break the shackles of the system, it can also be seen from the side that his strength must be cross-era"
"The main thing is that the country relies on club training, and the main purpose of club training is definitely to play for yourself. The next person to enter the NBA, I guess, should be from a well-to-do family, playing in the United States since high school, and then the NCAA and then the NBA. ”
"Cultivated by the club, the club must first consider its own interests, don't stand and talk without backache, everyone is like this, fans don't have unrealistic ideas"
"Most of the players in Japan are Japanese campus basketball, and there must be fewer restrictions, and many of our good seedlings are trained by youth, and the general environment is still different."
"Look at the little days, Yuta Watanabe played a few years in the Development League and finally entered the NBA!"
