The best team in the summer league is released! Yang Hansen was not selected, the reason is revealed, he missed the top three in the 25th

Basketball

Time is coming to late July 2025, and the NBA Summer League has just ended.

One of the most popular players during the Lasvis Summer League was Chinese player Yang Hansen.

At this year's draft, Yang Hansen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round and officially became an NBA player.

Rookies all have to participate in the summer league exercise. On the one hand, it is to adapt to the pace and intensity of the NBA in advance, and on the other hand, it is also to show the players' strengths and weaknesses to the media, fans and coaching staff.

Yang Hansen played in a total of 4 summer league games. Although his overall performance is not very excellent, it is also remarkable. Overall, it is worthy of the No. 16 show.

Yang Hansen's data looks average, but he has also shown his abilities in these summer league games. At the same time, he also exposed some of his own shortcomings, which are what he needs to improve.

On July 23, the NBA announced the Best Team of the Summer League. Unfortunately, Yang Hansen did not appear on the Best Team Single.

NBA officially announced the Summer League's All-Summer League Team today:

Summer League First Team: Nick Clifford (Kings), Kyle Filipovski (Jazz), David Jones Garcia (Spurs), Jordan Miller (Clippers), Terence Shannon (Timberwolves).

Summer League Second Team: Horan (Pistols), Isaac Jones (King), Kniper (Hornets), Ajay Mitchell (Thunder), KJ Simpson (Hornets).

Flag, Harper and Edgecomb, the top three rookies in this year, missed, and Chinese player Yang Hansen was not selected.

Yang Hansen played in 4 summer league games, averaging 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game. In terms of data, Yang Hansen's data list is not very eye-catching, so it is no problem not appearing on the best lineup list.

Yang Hansen did not enter the Summer League's best lineup list, and it was normal for Flag, Harper and Edgecom, who were in the top three picks, to fail. Why?

Because, they don't need to grab data in Xialian, they just need to show their strengths, expose their shortcomings, adapt to the rhythm of the game, and improve various shortcomings for the subsequent regular season. This is the purpose of high-ranking rookies participating in the summer league.

In addition to rookies in the summer league, there are also second- and third-year graders, and some edge players who are still striking the NBA at the age of 27-28. There are only 10 places in the Best Team, and as the No. 16th pick, Yang Hansen is normal to lose.

For Yang Hansen, the summer league is just the beginning. Through this period of performance, Yang Hansen did a better job of showing his basketball IQ, basket skills, and some outside shooting ability to everyone.

Of course, he still has many shortcomings: his physical fitness cannot keep up with the strength of the NBA, his rebounding ability is weak, and his speed is relatively slow. These are all huge shortcomings that restrict his progress.

does not matter if it is not selected for the Summer League. After all, it is understandable that Xiao Yang can't compete with those second-year players as a first-year rookie. Next, he will also compete for the Asian Cup for the Chinese men's basketball team, and his physical fitness will face a relatively big test.

Soon, the NBA's preseason and regular season are coming, and that is the stage to test Yang Hansen. I hope Xiao Yang can experience a summer of training, adapt to the pace of the NBA game, seize some opportunities at the beginning of the season, and allow himself to be favored by the team and coaching staff.

Come on, Yang Hansen!
