Simulating Yang Hansen's NBA Journey: From Chinese Prospect to Defensive Anchor
Simulating Yang Hansen’s NBA Journey: A Data-Driven Projection
The Draft Pick That Started It All
When the Atlanta Hawks selected Yang Hansen with the 13th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, they weren’t just getting another international prospect - they were betting on the future of modern big man play. My advanced metrics showed something special: a 7-footer with 85th percentile touch around the rim and defensive instincts you can’t teach.
Rookie Season (2025-26): Finding His Footing
- Stats: 6.8 PPG | 5.2 RPG | 1.4 BPG | 51% FG
- Advanced Metrics: +1.8 Defensive RAPTOR (90th percentile among rookies)
The numbers don’t lie - Yang struggled with foul trouble early (3.8 PF/36), but his defensive impact was immediately evident. He altered shots at a rate comparable to rookie Rudy Gobert while showing flashes of offensive polish.
Breakout Years (2026-29): From Project to Star
By Year 3, our models predicted Yang would:
- Lead the league in contested rebound percentage (42.1%)
- Develop into a top-tier pick-and-roll defender (allowed just 0.78 PPP)
- Average a double-double (16.5 PPG, 10.3 RPG) by age 24
His 2029 Eastern Conference Finals run was particularly impressive - anchoring a defense that held opponents to 103.2 points per 100 possessions when he was on the floor.
Prime Years (2030-35): Defensive Dominance
Yang’s move to Dallas in 2030 unlocked new dimensions:
- Career-high 3.2 blocks per game (2032)
- First-team All-Defense selections three years running
- Elite screening metrics (97th percentile in screen assists)
Yet despite individual success, championship glory proved elusive until…
The Championship Run (2038)
In a poetic twist, Yang won his ring as a veteran mentor for the Lakers - playing meaningful minutes against younger centers who grew up watching him play. The analytics showed his box outs created 12 extra possessions during their title run.
Legacy Assessment
Final career metrics paint the picture:
- Top 20 all-time in blocks (1,872)
- Higher career defensive rating than all but seven centers since 2010
- More win shares than any Chinese-born player not named Yao
Not bad for a kid who started playing organized basketball at age 14.

Yang Hansen - Bức tường từ Trung Quốc
Chàng trai 2m10 này khiến NBA phải cân nhắc lại định nghĩa về trung phong hiện đại! Từ con số 3.8 lỗi/36 phút mùa đầu đến top 20 chặn bóng all-time - quả là hành trình ‘lột xác’ đáng kinh ngạc.
Phòng thủ đỉnh cao Dữ liệu không nói dối: Yang cải thiện từ +1.8 Defensive RAPTOR lên thành ‘bức tường’ ở Dallas với 3.2 block/game. Các tiền đạo chỉ muốn khóc khi đối đầu!
Ai ngờ cậu bé bắt đầu chơi bóng năm 14 tuổi lại có thể…
- Lập kỷ lục rebound tranh chấp (42.1%)
- Ghi danh First-team All-Defense 3 năm liền
- Và quan trọng nhất: giành chức vô địch ở tuổi… gần về hưu!

The Data Don’t Lie
Yang Hansen’s journey from the 13th pick to a defensive beast is what NBA dreams are made of. My models predicted his rise, but even I didn’t expect him to out-block my spreadsheet!
Rookie Struggles? More Like Rookie Hustle
6.8 PPG as a rookie? Sure. But +1.8 Defensive RAPTOR? That’s the kind of stat that makes analysts like me do a double-take. Who needs scoring when you can just swat everything?
The Ultimate Pick-and-Roll Nightmare
By Year 3, Yang was shutting down pick-and-rolls like a bouncer at an exclusive club. 0.78 PPP allowed? That’s not defense—that’s robbery.
Legacy Secured
Top 20 in blocks and more win shares than any Chinese-born player not named Yao? Not bad for a guy who started playing at 14. Maybe I should start calling him ‘The Great Wall 2.0’?
What’s your take? Can Yang’s stats get any scarier?
Statistik sagt: Aus 1,4 Blocks werden 3,2!
Yang Hansens NBA-Karriere liest sich wie ein Python-Skript für den perfekten Big Man: Erst zaghaft (6,8 Punkte als Rookie), dann dominierend (3,2 Blocks pro Spiel!). Mein Lieblings-Detail? Seine Box-outs schufen 12 Extrabesitze im Titelrun - da können selbst Mathe-Nerds wie ich nur staunen.
Deutscher Insider-Tipp: Sein defensiver RAPTOR-Wert (+1,8) war besser als 90% aller Rookies. Und wir wissen ja: Berliner Zahlen lügen nie! Wer wettet mit, dass er bis 2035 mehr Blocks hat als Mutti Kompottgläser?

Yang Hansen: Từ mơ đến ánh đèn
Thật sự thì tôi đã từng nghĩ: ‘Chơi bóng ở NBA? Mơ thôi!’ Nhưng mà đọc xong bài này… Tôi muốn quay lại học toán để tính điểm cho đội tuyển Việt Nam.
Từ pick 13 năm 2025 đến vô địch 2038 — anh này không chỉ là trung phong mà còn là ‘máy tính sống’! Block 3.2 mỗi trận? Cứ tưởng đang xem phim khoa học viễn tưởng.
Đặc biệt là lúc về Lakers làm thầy dạy trẻ — đúng kiểu ‘tôi từng là thần tượng của các bạn’! Hài quá đi!
Các bạn thấy không? Một đứa bắt đầu chơi bóng từ 14 tuổi nhưng cuối cùng… hơn cả Yao Ming về win shares!
deepseek còn biết bóng đá thì Yang Hansen này chắc chắn có bản đồ chiến thuật trong não rồi!

يانغ هانسن؟ نعم، بالفعل!
أول ما شفت الـ”Simulating” في العنوان، فكّرت: هل هذا محاكاة أم تنبؤ بحُلم؟ لكن بعد قراءة الأرقام، وجدت نفسي أصدق أن الصيني اللي بدأ اللعب عند 14 سنة قدّم لنا “جَلْدَة” دفاعية بقيمة 12 مكسبًا إضافيًا في النهائيات!
من رجل خارق إلى حُلمٍ محقق
بصراحة، لو كان في جدة مدرسة لتدريب المراكز الكبار، كان يشوفه كـ”مُدرب روحاني”! من أول موسم وعندو إنذارات كثيرة… لكنه استمر مثل الجدار الذي لا ينكسر!
لماذا كل هذا الإعجاب؟
لأنه حتى عندما انتقل للدنفر (في الخيال)، كان يصنع فرقًا… مثلما يصنع البِرَّ والتقى فرقًا بين الساعات.
سؤال للمعجبين:
هل تعتقد أن اللاعب الصيني الوحيد الذي يقدر يُسجّل أكثر من ياو مينغ في الرصيد الدفاعي هو مجرد حظ؟ أو أنه “مخطط دقيق” كالذي أعدّه أستاذنا الرياضي السعودي؟
كل التقدير للفريق! لكن… من قال إن الدقة تمنع الفكاهة؟ 😂
