In the short term, Yang Hansen must not be expected to hit the NBA
But this year is an epic NBA draft year, when will it not rush?
Cui Yongxi has the courage to challenge the NBA. So in this case, is there anything else worth looking forward to, which can impact the NBA's Chinese interior?
It's true that there is, and at present, it has a better prospect than Yang Hansen. This is Sion Sinan, a young general in the United States. He was born in 2007. He is 2.13 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.30 meters. He is a rare talent among the yellow people. The template is Zhou Qi of the early generation. He has a very large defensive area and a good sense of defense. He can be called a big gate for interior defense. Sometimes, the number of blocked shots in a game is more than the number of scores and rebounds. For example, in last year's Asian Youth Championship, when Sion Sinan's average playing time was less than 17 minutes, he could get 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game. Often after a match, the hand needs to be treated because the cover is too hard. Moreover, Sion Sinan not only has such dominance in the same age group of Asian competitions, but also has opened many 'hotpot shops' in the United States.
The individual's dynamic and static talents are excellent, and the playing method is also a flexible running and jumping inside line that does not occupy the ball power. Therefore, the outside world has always believed that Sion Sion is more popular than the traditional core center like Yang Hansen. Therefore, in the latest ESPN list of the top 60 high school students in 2026, Sion Sion ranked 42, and ranked fourth among all center players! In addition, Sion Sion is now rated as a four-star high school student in the United States, and has received offers from many universities, including the University of Alabama. In addition, the most important thing is that Sion Sinan is not a youth training player of a CBA club. He is one of the basketball scholarship students founded by Cai Chongxin, the owner of the Nets, which means that he can participate in the NBA draft whenever he wants and has enough ability.
Many fans may have said that since Sion Sinan is a player under Cai Chongxin's boss, when the former attends the NBA draft conference, the Nets will take out a round to select him. It should be no problem, right? Of course, this is just a joke. After all, Sion Sinan's current draft prospects, as long as he can keep healthy and steadily improve, and make the right choice in the future, there is no big problem for him to enter the NBA. The center player of high school students in the United States ranks fourth, which is not low in value. Of course, judging from the playing methods of Yang Hansen and Sion Sinan, Yang Hansen may still be more important than Sion Sinan for the Chinese men's basketball team in the future. The reason is very simple. Sion Sinan plays inside the blue collar. If he can play in the NBA, he will return to the international arena as a top blue collar.
But what the national team lacks is not blue collar, but core players. In fact, Yang Hansen's playing style is suitable, but he is too young at this stage and needs more high-intensity competition and international competition experience, so he needs to be given enough time and patience. In a word, Yang Hansen and Sion Sinan are two insiders with completely different styles. If they can grow as expected, their partnership may have a good effect. In the future, the Chinese men's basketball team can also create different lineups around the two players. In addition to Sion Sinan, there are Zhao Weilun and Zhang Boyuan. The former serves as a guard, while the latter serves as a striker and partners with Sion Sinan in the Asian Youth League. At that time, Zhang Boyuan was elected to the best team of the tournament with 20.5 points and 5 rebounds.
Anyway, don't lose confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team!
