Warriors Media: Choose Yang Hansen to give time to grow, he can become a new generation of defensive pillar

6:42pm, 5 June 2025【Basketball】

First, Yang Hansen is 216 cm tall, and the rare movement ability of players of the same size can be shown on the court.

He is not an inside beast in the traditional sense, but a large space player who is more in line with the trend of modern basketball.

is very flexible in the open space, and can even temporarily switch to defenders on the outside. The grasp of the timing of the frame protection and the awareness of fast attack follow-up are also very highlights.

For teams like the Warriors that value position diversity, Yang Hansen can completely fit their future blueprint.

Secondly, of course, Yang Hansen's skills are still relatively immature at this stage, especially the offensive skills are still limited to the use of height and soft feel.

Mid-long-distance shooting on the outside, including the overall confrontation intensity, needs to be greatly improved.

However, the stadium feeling, timing judgment and game attitude he showed are exactly the training direction that the Warriors are best at.

However, this is a long-term investment that requires very patience. For details, please refer to Kyle Looney.

However, Yang Hansen's height and mobility advantages have the possibility of a higher upper limit.

Finally, with Curry and Butler. With the rise of core players such as Green and the rise of younger stars such as Kumingga and Pojemsky, the Warriors' future depends on building this new type of character lineup.

Yang Hansen may not grow into an All-Star immediately, but as long as he is given enough time to grow and train carefully, he is definitely likely to transform into an important pillar in the Warriors' new generation of defensive system.

The above are roughly some comments given by the Warriors media reporters about Yang Hansen if he can join.

Objectively speaking, the overall prospect is still relatively broad, which can explain Yang Hansen’s personal advantages and disadvantages, including what roles he can bring after joining the Warriors.

From this we can see that they have indeed put some effort into this.

Speaking of this, we must sincerely feel relieved for Yang Hansen.

After all, it was because he showed enough potential and ability that the Warriors reporters "study" him like this.

Otherwise, it would never be so much for me to discuss here.

The same is true for us fans. If there is really no hope, no one will chase after you to discuss Yang Hansen every day.

Of course, it may be better for us fans. After all, our own players will definitely bring some "filters", but it is different for media reporters of these NBA teams.

In addition, Yang Hansen is still a "foreign aid" to them. The entire requirement is definitely quite strict.

This makes it even more obvious that what Yang Hansen shows there is actually better than we imagined.

Or it can be said that his technical characteristics "stepped" the pulse of this era.

With this alone, he is much luckier than Yi Jianlian. In such a star-studded draft in 2007, he was selected by the Bucks in the 6th pick.

It should be said that he could have had a very bright future.

This also meets everyone's expectations for him. It is true that his talent is really outstanding. Even looking at the entire history of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is also the top wave.

It’s a pity that his technical characteristics did not match that of that era. He was more inclined to "space", while in that era, "standing stand" was more popular.

In the end, Yi Jianlian hastily ended his NBA career.

Of course, the "age" problem is also one of the main reasons for the subsequent disgrace.

Looking at Yang Hansen's "real age" now, I can only say that the times are getting better and better.
