Yang Hansen is too slow in defense? American News: Zach Eddie is also slow, but Yang is better at skill than him

August 20 ESPN analyst Tim Legler participated in another NBA reporter Adam Mares' podcast, during which Tim Legler talked about Yang Hansen's problems in defense.

Tim Legler said: "Yang will definitely be targeted by his opponent in the pick-and-roll attack in the regular season, which may cause him to foul trouble. Of course, many big men in the league have this problem."

"I have asked some coaches of the big men in the league, such as Zach Eddie's coach Jenkins before, and Jenkins said that the defensive end could not keep up with this. They are also helping Eddie adapt slowly. As a big man who is about the same height as Yang Hansen, he also faces this problem. What I want to say is that the speed of dealing with this problem is much faster than before. Eddie is slower but still plays an important role in the team's key games, so I believe that Yang Hansen can overcome it slowly, and Yang's skills are better than Eddie." Tim Legler said.

Eddie played 66 games during the regular season last season, averaging 21.5 minutes per game, contributing 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.3 caps, plus 2.8 fouls.

Yang Hansen averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 blocks, 3.8 turnovers, 4.3 fouls per game.
