With Lillard returning to the Trail Blazers, Billups is very likely to make three major changes to Yang Hansen

On July 18, the NBA Summer League Trail Blazers defeated the Rockets, with 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 summer leagues. Yang Hansen continued to perform stably and outstandingly, scoring 8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
At the same time, there is also a big news in the NBA trading market that the Trail Blazers will welcome the team's old ace Lillard! For the Trail Blazers, this is obviously a heavy signing that will directly change the team's development goals.
This article believes that after Lillard returns to the Trail Blazer, Billups is very likely to make the following three major changes in the use and cultivation of Yang Hansen.
Billups made three major changes to Yang Hansen
First, from the perspective of improving the team's competitiveness, use and cultivate Yang Hansen's "skill package"! Yang Hansen's training is no longer a "free-range" exercise, but a use under the team's technical and tactical system.
Under the system with Lillard as the core of the offensive, Yang Hansen's position support, arc top dealing, pick-and-roll downwards, etc. will have clear requirements!
This is actually a good thing for Yang Hansen, because Yang Hansen's overall tactical literacy is more comprehensive and comprehensive than Klingen!
2, the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll may be larger than the 3-pointer. Billups originally planned to train Yang Hansen to become a three-point center after pick-and-roll, which was without Lillard.
Considering that Lillard's own 3-point shooting ratio is very high and he has many breakthroughs after pick-and-roll, the requirement for the center may be that the ability to pull down or mid-range shot after pick-and-roll is even more critical!
This requires Yang Hansen to increase his confrontation and physical fitness, and Yang Hansen himself also realized this!
Third, we will pay more attention to Yang Hansen's training in his rookie season! If Lillard doesn't play next season, the team will have stricter requirements for defenders such as Henderson. They will not allow the guards to play open singles. Holiday will assume more "chatchassis role", so Yang Hansen is very likely to get about 20 minutes of playing time next season.
If the physical fitness is enough to support a 20-minute game per game, he will basically lock in Billups' 10-man core rotation lineup.
