China Tall Center Yanghan Sen, to Portland with the 16th overall NBA draft
“Yanghan Sen!”
When the name Seokja was called, the eyes and mouths of many gathered there increased. Born in 2005, the Chinese Tall (2m16) Center was nominated for the Portland Trail Blazers on the 26th (Korea time) at the Barclays Center in New York, USA, ranking 16th in the first round of the US professional basketball (NBA) draft. Previously, Chinese players such as Yao Ming (1st in 2002) and Izen Lian (6th in 2007) stirred the US coat, but it was not easy for Asians, so Sen’s NV debut has emerged as the biggest concern for the draft.
Yang Han -Sen played two seasons in Qingdao Eagles, China, and last season, he was a prospect with 16.6 points and 10.3 splattering. The 3 -point shot success rate is 33.3%. Sports Illustrated (SI) evaluated Yanghan Sen as “flexible and cooperative.” Pass ability is also good. Although the question of maneuverability has been raised steadily, the ranking of the second round was expected in the second round because it has good physique conditions and high potential for development. However, the name was called the 16th round 16. It was so surprised that no hat was prepared for the face size. The first round of nominations play the head size in advance at the NVA Secretariat. Yang Han -Sen also said, “I really couldn’t imagine it.”
According to USA TODAY, Yang Hansen is the ninth Chinese player who debuts in the US professional basketball. It’s been nine years since 2016. In addition to China, Asian players such as Watanabe Yuta (Japan), who joined Memphis Grizzlies in 2018, have been steadily stepping on the EnV A -coat. Ha Seung -jin (2004 Portland) played the regular season in NVA for the first time in Korean. Since then, the challengers are steadily increasing, but they are still a dream stage.
The first place in this draft, surprised by Yanghansen, was unexpected. Dallas Mavericks chose Cooper flag (Duke University) as expected. The flag is expected to lead the team to Anthony Davis, Kairi Irving and Triangle. At once, it emerged as a new hope of Dallas fans who were in trouble after Luca Donchi Trade. The second -ranked is Dylan Harper (Rutgus University), who was named San Antonio Spurs, and the third place is the VJ Edgecom (Bailer University), who was named Philadelphia Seventy Sixth.
