Jazz media discuss second-round draft: Yang Hansen becomes the number one target He is reminiscent of Shin Kyung

On May 29, Beijing time, Jazz media SLCDUNK discussed the team's second-round pick selection target, and put Chinese player Yang Hansen in the first place. The Jazz have this year's No. 43 and No. 53 picks, do they have a chance to pick Yang Hansen?

SLCDUNK acknowledged the draft security of Hansen Yang, and they placed Hansen Yang's prediction pick at No. 29 in the first round. Of course, if the Jazz want to draft him with a second-round pick, they will either have to trade up for draft picks, or they can only hope that Young Hansen will fall to his draft spot. The media's assessment of Yang Hansen is as follows -

The 2.16-meter-tall center Yang Hansen, from Qingdao, China, has become one of the most eye-catching international rookies in the 2025 NBA draft. At just 19 years old, he has been outstanding in the 2024-25 CBA season, averaging 16.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. Scouts were impressed with his size, technical touch and understanding of the game.

On the offensive end, Yang is known for his mature low-post scoring ability and passing ability, which is rare among players of his size. He has a wide field of vision and flexible decision-making ability, and can act as an offensive initiator in the high post, which is reminiscent of the Rockets' center Shin Kyung.

Defensively, he can effectively interfere with shots and defend the basket, but his lateral movement speed and outside shooting ability are still in question. Still, with a unique mix of skills and potential, a second-round selection for Yang Hansen is a worthwhile gamble for any team looking to add a modern big man with long-term development potential.

There was already a lack of quality rookies at the end of the second round, and given that the Jazz currently lack depth inside and are still in the rebuilding period, it makes sense to select a big man with potential.

Previously, Su Qun revealed on the show that there are 11 teams that want Yang Hansen to try out alone, among which the Pacers, Hawks and Mavericks like him very much. It remains to be seen which team Yang Hansen will be selected.
