Wang Shipeng suggested that Yang Hansen play in the Development League. Currently, each game is 5 minutes. It will be wasted for one season.

At the end of the first three rounds of NBA games, the Trail Blazers currently rank 12th in the Western Conference with 1 win and 2 losses. In these three games, Yang Hansen averaged only 5.7 minutes of playing time per game, averaging 2.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks. His shooting percentage was only 20.0%, but his free throw percentage was as high as 100%.

It’s no wonder that the two head coaches of the Trail Blazers didn’t give him a chance. Yang Hansen’s strengths and weaknesses are obvious. Movement speed, physical confrontation and rebounding awareness are all shortcomings. Therefore, in the game against the Clippers, former men's basketball star (now sports commentator) Wang Shipeng said that Yang Hansen would not get a chance in the Trail Blazers and only had 5 minutes per game, so he might as well go to the Development League to experience. As soon as Wang Shipeng's words came out, netizens and fans were in an uproar, but after careful analysis, it is indeed the case. Instead of sitting on the bench and playing garbage time in the NBA, it is really better to go to the Development League to play more games. Only by playing more actual games will you gradually find the feeling on the court. This is an essential process for most rookie players.

Wang Shipeng said, "Everyone's enthusiasm for Yang Hansen should be cooled down and not have high expectations. His current strength and level are not enough to become a regular rotation player for NBA teams and cannot support him to play more than ten minutes per game." What Wang Shipeng said is very sharp, and it is also a cruel reality. If Yang Hansen wants more playing opportunities and stable playing time, his strength needs to be further improved. In addition, Wang Shipeng also said that they did an interview and prediction before the start of the new season. Yang Hansen's average data in his rookie season may be less than 5 points per game. At present, it is really possible. After all, there is a big gap in intensity between the NBA regular season, preseason, and summer league, and the gap in game speed is even greater. Yang Hansen's performance in the summer league and preseason is very average, and there is a high probability that he will not have good data performance entering the regular season.

Judging from the situation in these games, Yang Hansen suffered a lot in terms of footwork, movement speed, and physical confrontation on the court, and many times he could not keep up with the rhythm of the game. For example, in the first game against the Timberwolves, he only had a chance to play in the first half. In the second half, coach Chauncey directly gave up on him during the fierce competition; in the second game against the Warriors, the team's movement and defensive speed slowed down after Yang Hansen came on the field. After that, he was called out by Curry a few times. Although he finally opened up. They won a 20-point victory, but Yang Hansen's plus-minus was the lowest in the team -3; the same was true against the Clippers in the third game. He could not effectively slow down the opponent's offense in the paint, and his ability to seize opportunities on the offensive end was also poor, so Coach Split did not play him again in the second half.

In today's game against the Clippers, Trail Blazers starting center Klingen's ankle suffered a slight sprain. Although there is a high probability that it will not affect tomorrow's game against the Lakers, his playing time is bound to be reduced. Yang Hansen may get some opportunities in the second game of back-to-back games. As for the Lakers, two main players, James and Doncic, are injured. Ayton in the paint does not like physical confrontation and is known as the "Gemophobic Mamba." Moreover, the Lakers are also playing their second game back-to-back. They just finished their battle with the Kings today, and tomorrow's game may be the time for Yang Hansen to step up and perform.

Of course, Wang Shipeng’s statement is not wrong. Instead of sitting on the bench in the NBA team, it is better to go to the Development League and play more games. Only in the game will you continue to improve. Although there are almost no tactics in the Development League, your performance depends entirely on your own ability. But as he is now, he only plays 3-5 minutes per game. After one season, Yang Hansen is basically useless. It is hard to imagine what will happen next season.
