Although Yang Hansen's draft market this year generally believes that he may be selected in the second round, after the Chicago joint trial not long ago and the good feedback received by many NBA teams in recent trials, Yang Hansen does have the opportunity to enter the NBA as a first round pick. After all, due to NIL policies this year, many players choose to stay in college to make money. In this way, players like Yang Hansen from the last round to the second round are indeed likely to be picked by NBA teams in the draft with the first round.

Recently, according to media person Zhou Peng, Yang Hansen has finished his trial training at the Hawks. During the interview, Yang Hansen was interviewed by the Hawks for two rounds. Including the previous joint trial training in Chicago, this is the third in-depth dialogue between the two sides. In addition, when Yang Hansen was playing in the CBA, there were also Hawks scouts who came to watch the game. In addition, Li Ang, the assistant coach of the Skyhawks of the Hawks, also served as an assistant coach at the CBA Beijing Men's Basketball Team, and may also recommend Yang Hansen to the Hawks. Considering that the team may let Capela go this summer, when the team needs a high inside line to make up, the Hawks are not impossible to use the first round pick in their hands to pick up Yang Hansen.

At this year's NBA Draft, the Hawks have the No. 13 draw and the No. 22 draw. Although this No. 13 draw is likely to not be selected by Yang Hansen, there is still a chance of this No. 22 draw. This season, the Hawks basically rotated in the inside position, Ocongu and Capela Nance. In the second half of the season, in order to give Oconguten the position, the Hawks directly threw Capela into the cold palace, greatly reducing his playing time and even falling out of the rotation at one point. However, none of these three have any advantages in height. Capela and Okonggu are both only 2.08 meters, while Nans Jr. is only 2.03 meters. With the team likely to give up Capela and even Nans Jr. this summer, it is not impossible for the Hawks to use the 22nd pick to win Yang Hansen to strengthen the center position.

Currently, there are two main defenders in the Hawks. Whether it is Trae Young or Daniels, they are willing to share the ball, especially Trae Young. He averaged 11.6 assists per game this season and became the assist king in the regular season. If Trae Young can stay in the team, then Yang Hansen will have a chance to gain a foothold with Atlanta next season. If playing time is given enough, in about 20 minutes of playing time, Yang Hansen should have the opportunity to hand over at least 9+8 quasi-double data like Zach Edith in the Grizzlies' rookie season.

According to statistics, Yang Hansen has currently tried out nine teams, namely the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Suns, Bucks, Magic, Pacers, Nets, Celtics and Hawks. Next, he will continue to try out for other teams. Judging from the current situation, there should be no big problem with Yang Hansen's first-round pick this year. The biggest suspense depends on whether he can enter the NBA as a first-round pick. This time he has had in-depth conversations with the Hawks three times. Considering that they have first-round picks and lack of inside positions, Yang Hansen's visit to the Hawks should be the most suitable one.
