NBA Draft Analysis: Which Western Conference Team is Most Likely to Sign Yang Hansen? Pelicans and Mavericks Lead the Race
NBA Draft Analysis: Which Western Conference Team is Most Likely to Sign Yang Hansen?
As someone who’s spent 12 years crunching NBA data, I can tell you that drafting international prospects is always a gamble. But when it comes to Chinese center Yang Hansen, the odds are leaning heavily toward two Western Conference teams: the New Orleans Pelicans and the Dallas Mavericks.
The Contenders: Narrowing Down the Field
First, let’s set the stage. Only six Western Conference teams are realistically in play for Yang Hansen, and here’s the kicker: none of them plan to use their current draft picks. Why? Because their picks are too valuable to spend on a player who might be available later. If Yang falls to the second round, they’ll pounce—but for now, they’re playing it smart.
Why the Pelicans Make Sense (40% Probability)
The Pelicans have already made a move, trading for the 23rd pick. That’s a clear signal they’re eyeing someone specific—and Yang Hansen fits the bill. They’ve scouted him multiple times in the CBA, and their need for a developmental big man is obvious. Plus, let’s not forget their recent track record with international talent (looking at you, Jonas Valančiūnas).
The Mavericks’ Chinese Connection (20% Probability)
Dallas has a soft spot for Chinese players, thanks to legends like Wang Zhizhi and Ding Yanyuhang. Head coach Jason Kidd has already interviewed Yang, which is never a coincidence. The Mavs might not have a glaring need at center, but their willingness to develop raw talent could make them dark horses in this race.
Dark Horses: Blazers, Lakers, Warriors, Kings (10% Each)
The Trail Blazers already have a young center in Zach Collins, so their interest might be lukewarm. The Lakers and Warriors are contenders with limited assets to move up, while the Kings haven’t even worked Yang out. That leaves us with a clear top two: Pelicans and Mavericks.
Final Thoughts
If I were a betting man (and as an analyst, I kind of am), I’d put my money on New Orleans. But don’t sleep on Dallas—their history with Chinese players adds an intriguing wrinkle. What do you think? Drop your predictions below!

- Pelicans: 40%

Chọn ai đây: Pelicans hay Mavericks?
Phân tích của tôi sau 10 năm nghiên cứu NBA: Yang Hansen có 40% về tay Pelicans - họ cần trung phong và đã ‘để mắt’ từ lâu. Nhưng đừng quên Mavericks với ‘mối tình Trung Quốc’ từ thời Vương Trị Chí!
Cược không?
Tôi cá Pelicans thắng, nhưng nếu bạn tin vào ‘duyên số’ của Mavericks thì cứ comment xem ai đoán trúng nhé! (Gợi ý: Đội nào cũng được, miễn đừng như Lakers - họ còn lo chạy playoff nữa là!)
ড্রাফ্ট লটারি নাকি রিকশা রেস?
ইয়াং হানসেনকে নিয়ে এই প্রতিযোগিতা দেখে আমার মনে হচ্ছে ডাকার রিকশাওয়ালাদের গতিবিধি! পেলিকান্স ৪০% সম্ভাবনা নিয়ে এগিয়ে, কিন্তু ম্যাভারিক্সের চায়না কানেকশন (ওয়াং ঝিজি-র ভূত?) নিয়ে underestimate করবেন না।
জেসন কিডের ‘চায়না টাউন’ স্ট্র্যাটেজি
ম্যাভসের হেড কোচ সরাসরি ইন্টারভিউ নিয়েছেন? এটা নিশ্চয়ই সেই ‘ডিম সাম সা’ টাইপের চাল! কিন্তু ওদের সেন্টার পজিশনে তো খেলোয়াড়ের অভাব নেই…
প্রেডিকশন: যদি ইয়াং ২৩তম পিক পর্যন্ত পড়ে, তাহলে নিউ অরলিন্সে তার জার্সি দেখা যাবে। না হলে… জানালেন তো? #BasketballKhelaHobe
Statistik Ngawur Tapi Asik
Sebagai analis data, aku bisa konfirmasi: perang rahasia antara Pelicans dan Mavs buat rekrut Yang Hansen ini seru banget! Pelicans unggul 40% karena… ya mereka baru aja beli pick ke-23. Klasik banget gaya ‘aku beli dulu, mikir nanti’ 😂
Koneksi China Bikin Greget
Mavs mungkin cuma 20%, tapi jangan lupa mereka punya mantan pemain China! Kidd sampai interview langsung - kayak mau nembak cewek pakai data statistik aja. Greget!
Tim lain? Cuma numpang lewat dengan 10%. Komen di bawah, tim mana yang menurut kalian bakal menang?
(Disclaimer: prediksi ini tidak mengandung ramalan bintang, murni analisis data palsu yang lucu)
Кто возьмёт китайского гиганта?
Пеликаны и Маверикс лидируют в гонке за Ян Хансена! Но давайте будем честны: это как игра в русскую рулетку с шестью патронами… и только два из них реально опасны. 🎲
Почему Пеликаны? Они уже присматриваются к нему в CBA, да и Валачюнас им не помешал бы. 40% шансов – почти как у нас зимой солнца!
А Маверикс? У них китайская традиция (Ван Чжичжи, привет!), но нужно ли им ещё одно «сырое» дарование? 20% – как шанс найти свободное такси в час пик.
Остальные команды? Ну… 10% – это как вера в то, что Зенит выиграет Лигу Чемпионов. 😂
Кто по-вашему рискнёт? Пишите в комменты – устроим тотализатор!
Phân tích kiểu ‘bói toán’
Là dân phân tích data 8 năm, tôi có thể nói: Draft NBA là trò đỏ đen. Nhưng với Yang Hansen, xác suất rõ ràng hơn - Pelicans (40%) và Mavericks (20%) đang tranh nhau ‘cưa đổ’ anh chàng này.
Lý do Pelicans ‘tán tỉnh’ nhiệt tình
Đội này đã trade pick 23, lại còn đi scout CBA mấy lần. Rõ ràng họ mê Yang Hansen như teen mê trà sữa! Thêm kinh nghiệm với Jonas Valančiūnas - cứ như bản CV hoàn hảo.
Mavericks - Tình cũ không rủ cũng tới
Nhờ huyền thoại Wang Zhizhi, đội này có máu ‘săn’ cầu thủ TQ. Jason Kidd còn phỏng vấn Yang nữa - dấu hiệu không thể ngó lơ!
