As the regular season continues, in addition to eight teams working hard for the championship, other teams have entered the offseason, and some rebuilding teams have set their sights on the draft, and some teams will focus on the free market, regardless of that, it is for the final improvement of the team's strength. The draft is approaching, and the US media "BR" also predicts the draft of each team based on the probability of each team winning the high pick. The better the NBA record, the higher the probability of a team getting a high pick. In the 2025 rules, the top three teams with the last record (Jazz, Wizards, Hornets) each have a 14% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, and then it decreases in turn. Since this rookie is called "the strongest after the 2003 Platinum generation" by scouts, the top five players have All-Star potential, which has attracted a lot of team attention. Let's take a look:

1. No. 1 pick: Cooper Flag - Nets

Flag is known as the "hexagon fighter". The template is Garnett, who is versatile offense and defense and has a leader temperament. If the Nets win the No. 1 pick, they will rebuild their core lineup around him.

2. Second place: Dylan Harper - Trail Blazers

Harper is regarded as a cornerstone player with his ability to combine attack and pass. The template has been adjusted from Harden to Fox. It has excellent athletic ability and confrontation, which is suitable for the Trail Blazers to strengthen the backcourt.

3. Tanhua: Edgecomb - 76ers

Edgecomb counterattacked with his explosive performance in the Olympic sack. The template is Wiggins, and his breakthrough ability is extremely strong. The 76ers need him to make up for the shortcomings in the front line.

4, 4th pick: Ace Bailey - Jazz

Bailey was originally the top three favorites, but because of the single offensive method, the template was adjusted from Porter Jr. To Miller, if the Jazz chose him, he would need to patiently cultivate his projection and confrontation ability.

5. Jeremiah Fiers - The Wizards have rich offensive methods, excellent emergency stop jump shots, and are also good at creating fouls, and excellent defense. The biggest shortcoming is limited three-point shooting ability. The template Dezon Tamery, the Wizards may get this new star.

In addition, Yang Hansen, a Chinese player who attracted much attention from Chinese fans at this NBA draft, is currently possible to be selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 47th pick in the second round, which will set a new high in the mainstream simulation list; from the 51st place in the previous period (the Clippers) to 47th place (the Bucks), which is also his first time entering the top 50 pick in the second round.

Yang Hansen is 2.16 meters tall, has excellent basket skills and footsteps, mature offensive ability at low posts, and can average 2.7 blocks per game, showing the deterrent power on the defensive end. In addition, he scored 17 three-pointers this season, demonstrating his potential in CFL and has gone to Los Angeles to receive special training arranged by Klutch agency. If he is successfully selected, Yang Hansen will become another Chinese player to enter the NBA through the draft after Zhou Qi (43rd pick) and Wang Zhelin (57th pick) in 2016.

The competition will be extremely fierce in this draft. Except for the top five new stars, other players have strong potential. It will take time to prove who will eventually fall. In addition, can Chinese player Yang Hansen become the new hope of the Chinese NBA after Zhou Qi? These suspense will last until the June draft is announced. Everyone thinks whether Yang Hansen can enter the NBA arena, and discussion is welcome!
