Breaking! Predicting the 12th pick in the first round of the NBA! The Chinese men s basketball team will be the first defensive gate in the future

US media NBA Draft Room released the latest 2028 NBA draft forecast list, showing that Xun Sinan was selected with the 12th pick in the first round, up two picks from the previous prediction of the 14th pick.

The US media is not a pheasant media. Before the start of this year's draft, it predicted that Yang Hansen would be selected in the 22nd pick in the first round, and finally joined the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round. He is the closest draft media among all US media to the correct result.

Domestic media person revealed that Xun Sinan will choose a university school at the end of this year and is expected to become the first player in Chinese basketball history to play at the NCAA high major school.

The so-called NCAA high major usually refers to the most competitive & most financially funded event leagues, including the Big Ten, the Atlantic Coast League (ACC), the Big Ten (Big 12), the Southeast Federation (SEC) and the previous Big East League.

Xun Sinan was born on May 8, 2007. He just turned 18. He is about 2.16 meters tall. He is said to have a wingspan of 2.30 meters. He has a wide range of movement speed and is not afraid of changing to defenders. He has a keen sense of smell. He can send 5 shots per game in this year's U19 World Cup, which can support the entire defensive system by one person.

Of course, Xun Sinan now also has flaws, that is, insufficient physical confrontation ability and limited offensive methods are particularly unable to drive his teammates. The score mainly comes from eating cakes at the basket. Therefore, we can see that this year's U19 World Cup averaged 4.6 rebounds and 11.3 points, and the rebounds are even smaller than the number of blocks, which is simply a miracle.

No matter what, today's NBA teams are indeed not resistant to a jumping male insider with huge potential, so it is not uncommon for the draft to be optimistic. But for the Chinese men's basketball team, Xun Sinan needs a more comprehensive style of playing so that he can truly be regarded as the core of the inside line in the future.

If Xun Sinan can fully realize his talent in the future, plus Yang Hansen, the Chinese men's basketball team's inside line for at least the next ten years will be extremely competitive in Asia and the entire world basketball world.
