The 6 most powerful NBA 16th show, James "enemy" is on the list, one is Yang Hansen s template

Under the gaze of everyone, the first round of the 2025 NBA draft has officially ended successfully. Since this session is the year of the draft, many rookies are not favored. Among them, Flag can be said to have become a member of the Mavericks without any suspense. In the future, he will join forces with the two top picks, Irving and Thick Brows, to launch an attack on the championship. As of now, his future is undoubtedly bright.

However, compared to Flag's No. 1 pick, it is obviously more shocking that Chinese player Yang Hansen was selected in the 16th pick in the first round. In the previous draft prediction of ESPN's last period, Yang Hansen was expected to be selected in the 35th pick in the second round, but in the end he almost became the NBA lottery pick. In addition to the Trail Blazers who chose Yang Hansen, teams like the Hawks, Timberwolves, and Nets who also hold the first round have also been revealed that if the Trail Blazers had not intercepted them, they might have chosen Yang Hansen, which proves that the latter's special training in the United States has obviously achieved very significant results.

After joining the Trail Blazers, Yang Hansen will officially start his NBA career. Although their lineup seems to be under great pressure for competition, in fact, Rowe and Ayton are likely to be traded later, so his main competitor is Klingen. Since he plays completely differently from the latter, as long as he plays his own advantages, Yang Hansen is very hopeful to gain a foothold in the Trail Blazers. Next, we took a look at the six best 16th picks in the NBA. They are all good role models for Yang Hansen, and one of them is considered by many people to be one of Yang Hansen’s best templates!

6. Stewart averaged 8.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in his career. In a conflict with LeBron James, Steward was known to more fans. At that time, he was just a sophomore rookie, but at that time he averaged 8.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. With the rise of Durham in recent years, Stewart's playing time has shrunk a bit, but as a substitute insider, his performance is still quite good now. This season, he can average 6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage is 55.9%. However, it is difficult for a short center like Stewart to break through the upper limit, and his shooting is also average, so even if he changes a team, it will be difficult for him to return to the starting lineup.

5. McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in his career. When McCain was selected, the outside world questioned him a lot, and many media even said that he was a real "Internet celebrity player". But after entering the league, McCain quickly proved himself. From a game against the Lakers, he scored 20+ in seven consecutive games. In one game against the Cavaliers, he even made 12 of 26 shots and scored 34 points and 10 assists. McCain at that time also seemed to have great hope of winning the best rookie.

But unfortunately, McCain was reimbursed in advance due to injury, which also made him miss the competition for the best rookie. However, at least before being injured, he had proved that he had the strength to compete in the NBA, and he is only 21 years old now, so his future is still very bright.

4. Rocher averaged 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists in his career, in 2015, Rocher was personally selected by the Celtics. He didn't get many opportunities in the first two years of his career, but he has made progress during this period. Thomas Jr. left the team and Irving arrived in the 2017-2018 season. Because the latter was reimbursed in advance due to injury, Rocher got more playing time and ball rights later. Rocher started all the 2018 playoffs. He averaged 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. With his help, the team successfully reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Later, Rocher signed a big contract with the Hornets, and then in the 2020-2021 season, he averaged 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, so in 2022 he was able to sign another four-year contract of 96.26 million. Later, Rocheel joined the Heat, but his data here shrank. He had a comprehensive decline in offense and defense, and averaged only 10.6 points per game this season. Due to his big contract, the Heat have never been able to send him away.

3. Nurkic averaged 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 blocks in his career. In Nurkic's 11-year career, the team he played for the longest time was the Trail Blazers, where he also ushered in his peak. He once averaged 15+10 data per game in many seasons. In 2023, the Suns traded Nurkic, but because every defender in the team who is good at feeding cakes, his personal performance has also been greatly reduced. As he grows older, his athletic ability has declined. In the middle of this season, Nurkic was traded to the Hornets. He has completely turned on the bad mode here and he can only contribute 9.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. It seems that he will probably keep scrambling with the Hornets until the end of this contract.

2. Vucevic averaged 17.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in his career. In the early days, Vucevic played in a relatively traditional way at that time. He could not make a few three-pointers in a few years, but even so, he was able to average double-double. Later, in order to adapt to the trend, Vucevic developed his own shooting. In the 2018-2019 season, he averaged 20.8 points, 12 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 block. At the same time, he averaged 1.1 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 36.4%. Therefore, he was selected for the All-Star for the first time that year.. After

, in the 2020-2021 season, Vucevic was selected for the All-Star for the second time, but it was that year that he was traded to the Bulls. Later, as Vucevic got older, his competitive level has been declining. Now he is a typical offense that is greater than defense, and it seems that he is averaging 18+10 per game, but considering his defense, he is still difficult to trade, which is also the main factor why he still plays for the Bulls.

1.Shin Kyung

Average of 16 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in his career

In 2021, the Rockets selected two young players in the first round, one was Jaylen Green, who was the second best player, and the other was Shin Kyung, who was the No. 16 pick. At the beginning, Green was obviously more favorable than Shin Kyung, so although the two entered the league at the same time, the former had more ball rights and playing time in the early stage. However, as time went by, Shin Kyung played better and better, and he also won more opportunities for himself. Later, the Rockets simply built a system with him as the core.

Shen Jing averaged 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season. His current low post and support are undoubtedly among the top in the active center. Moreover, from the perspective of playing style, he is indeed suitable as a template for Yang Hansen. If the latter can really reach the height of Shen Jing in the future, it would be quite remarkable. You should know that Yao Ming has been selected as the All-Star in the history of Chinese basketball.
