Team Note: The Trail Blazers chose to win Yang Hansen at the 16th pick because both the Timberwolves and the Nets wanted to choose him

Yang Hansen was selected with the 16th pick and the Timberwolves Studio, which held the No. 17 draw, was a little confused. July 31, July 31, Today's Trail Blazers reporter Sean Highkin posted a post on the RoseGardenReport website to talk about Yang Hansen. He said that the Timberwolves and the Nets were also interested in Yang during the draft.

"On the draft night, the Trail Blazers reached a deal with the Grizzlies, retreating from the 11th pick to the 16th pick in exchange for the 2028 first-round pick and two future second-round picks. They believe that going back further will not ensure that Yang is still on the roster - the Timberwolves (17th pick) and the Nets (19th and 22nd picks) are interested in Yang. Therefore, the Trail Blazers took decisive action at the 16th pick and completed the most unexpected draft in the NBA in recent years." Sean Highkin wrote.
