I watched a bunch of highlight videos. The dude's got some skills. It looks like he can move pretty well for a big guy. But the competition in those clips? Not exactly NBA-level.
Next, I tried to find some actual game footage. This was tougher. Not many full games of his are just floating around online. I did manage to find a few, though. It's clear he's still pretty raw. His footwork needs work, and he seems to rely on his size a bit too much.
What I:was saw:
- Strengths: He's big. Like, really big. And he seems to have a decent touch around the basket.
- Weaknesses: He's not very quick. Footwork is a work in progress. And his defense? Let's just say it needs some serious improvement.
Then, I dug into some scouting reports. These were all over the place. Some folks think he's a potential late first-rounder. Others see him as a second-round project, at best. A few even said he might go undrafted.
I also checked out some mock drafts. Most of them didn't even have him listed. The ones that did had him going pretty late. I understand that it's hard for someone like Yang to enter NBA draft. It looks like he's just an unknown.
So, what's the conclusion? Honestly, it's hard to say. He's got the size, but he's got a long way to go. I think he's a long-term project for sure. I will be keeping my eyes on him.
In the end, this deep dive into Hansen Yang's NBA draft prospects was a mixed bag. There's potential there, but it's buried under a lot of rawness. He's a classic boom-or-bust prospect. He could be something special in a few years, or he could fade into obscurity. Only time will tell.
