Yang Hansen, who has no rule in the CBA, has become a potential stock in the eyes of the Blazers. What does the NBA value?

The moment Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the first round, all the people who hacked him on the Internet disappeared overnight. After the draft, Trail Blazers manager Cronin admitted that he had the gambling element, but he was more interested in Yang Hansen's high future limit and made this bold decision.

When talking about Yang Hansen, Cronin's eyes were full of recognition, and this also made many Yang Hansen black fans break the defense. How can a person who has no rule in the CBA league be able to jump to the level and become the first round pick of the NBA, and get high praise from an NBA team manager? What do they value in the Trail Blazers or the NBA? How did Yang Hansen impress them?

In the perception of many domestic fans, the relationship between the CBA and the NBA is similar to the relationship between the second and third floors. If a person wants to go to the third floor, he must pass the second floor. Whether it is taking the stairs or climbing the exterior wall, it is impossible to skip the second floor to the third floor. In this "stair climbing cognition", only those who walk through each step on the second floor can touch the railings on the third floor. The 3rd floor is a reward and recognition of the strength of the strong on the 2nd floor.

If the "climbing stairs" is correct, then Chinese players who can play in the NBA must dominate the CBA. But when we come from the perspective of the NBA, we will find that "climbing cognition" is a complete false proposition. As the world's top basketball league, the NBA's purpose is to bring together "the world's best 500 players". Among them, there are both super stars and potential newcomers. If you need to maintain competitiveness in the top league, you must only have strength and talent, and use your wise eyes to choose all talented young people. That's why the NBA has the provision that "if international players over 22 years old in the draft year, they will automatically be eligible for election without applying in advance."

Only by understanding the underlying logic of NBA player selection can we truly understand why they favor Yang Hansen so much. In a word, because Yang Hansen has the talent they think is strong. What is Yang Hansen’s talent? It is the proud height of 218 cm in the small ball era, the calmness of commanding European and American players in joint trial training, and the accurate pass and skillful footsteps of the low post as a scalpel.

In the NBA scouts and managers, the word that Yang Hansen most frequently appears is "China Jokic". Jokic's meaning in the NBA is opportunity to compete for the championship and dominance. If there is a young man who has a vision that is not inferior to Jokic and has the ability to protect the frame and switch defense that Teacher Yoo does not have, should he enter the first round and be trained to focus on training? I believe everyone already has an answer in their hearts. When this answer coincides with Yang Hansen, we can understand why Trail Blazer Manager Cronin is excited.

He had every reason to be excited, because in their perception, Yang Hansen is a genius even if he didn't rule the CBA. Because the Trail Blazers need his talent and are fully capable of realizing his talent into hard power. This is what the NBA values.

Also in basketball league, our understanding of talented players is too one-sided, only focusing on how many points you can score in a single game and how much per game data must be reached. Data monsters and singles fighters are our favorites in the league, because the performance of these players can be quantified and more intuitive, but blindly pursuing data will make us unable to see many non-data things. I will also miss many young people who are already very talented. If we want to learn the NBA, we cannot only learn the surface and surface, but also learn how to choose materials.
