Can Yang Hansen enter the regular rotation after 4 summer leagues?

This summer, Yang Hansen averaged 10.8 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 blocks per game during 24.5 minutes of playing time. Maruac, the 10th overall pick this year, can score 10 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game during 23.3 minutes of playing time. French talented center Belange, who ranked 17th, can score 6.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in 23.1 minutes per game. Derek Quinn, the 13th overall pick, can average 14 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block per game, but his shooting percentage is only 43.8%. Compared with these first-round centers, Yang Hansen's data is definitely the same echelon. If these lottery picks can get rotation opportunities in the new season, then Yang Hansen will definitely be able to enter the rotation in the Trail Blazers. According to the usual training cycle, most players in the Lotto area and nearby can get certain opportunities in the new season.

For example, last year's No. 16 pick McCain won 25.7 minutes of playing time in the new season. 23rd No. 16 pick, Kee Youngt George, won 27 minutes of playing time in his rookie season. AJ Griffin, No. 16 in 22, received 19.5 minutes of playing time. Shin Kyung, the No. 16 show in 21, received 20.7 minutes of playing time. Among all the No. 16 picks players in the past five years, whether they are forwards, defenders or centers, they average 20-25 minutes of playing time.

opens the higher-order data again. When Yang Hansen is present, his positive and negative values can reach positive 10.5. Among the players who played in four games throughout the summer league, Yang Hansen's plus or negative values are the eighth best player. Therefore, without major changes, Yang Hansen can get a relatively stable chance to play in the new season.

However, in the short term, it is still more difficult for Yang Hansen to squeeze out Klingen than he imagined. Last summer, Klingen played four games for the Trail Blazers, scoring 9 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4.3 blocks per game in 25.4 minutes per game. Among them, Klingen averaged 12.3 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game, ranking first in the summer league.

Last season, Klingen limited his opponent's shooting percentage to 42.9%, reducing his opponent's shooting percentage by 5.7%, which is the fourth in the league in terms of reserve requirement ratio reduction. When defending the back, Klingen can limit the defender's shooting percentage to 40.5%, which is a big defense ability that many big men do not have. With this defense and rebounding, Klingen can almost hold the main center of most NBA teams.

But the good news is that Yang Hansen's characteristics can complement Klingen and do not conflict with his playing style. Therefore, Yang Hansen conservatively estimated that he would get 15-20 minutes of playing time per game in the new season.
