Personally, Yang Hansen didn't play very well in his first playoff game, and his strengths and weaknesses were obvious. Defensively, he grabbed 16 rebounds while also dishing out four blocks and two steals, but on the offensive end, he had seven points and one assist on 2-of-8 shooting, and more importantly, Yang had seven turnovers today.
Judging from his playoff debut, Yang Hansen was right not to participate in the NBA draft, and he does need to polish in many areas, especially on the offensive end. From the current point of view, Yang Hansen still has a long way to go.
