Team Note: Whether Yang Hansen is suitable for the Bucks is questionable. His weaknesses are similar to those of the Greater Lopez

Today, the Bucks reporter Dalton Sell posted a message talking about Yang Hansen, who had tried the team before, and expressed his own views on the degree of adaptation between the latter and the team. The following is all content. The Bucks do need one or two centers in the upcoming summer and now they have put a very promising rookie in the CBA on the inspection list. According to HoopsHype, the Bucks have become interested in Yang Hansen from the CBA, and the big man's performance in the draft joint trial also attracted the attention of other teams. Can he become a replacement for Lopez? The author believes that the possibility is not high, but it is not harmful to let him participate in the trial.

The Bucks do need a center, but whether Yang Hansen is suitable is still questionable. At the 2025 NBA Draft, it is reasonable to choose a center with the 47th pick. Since Lopez, Portis and Himes are all likely to be free agents, Milwaukee needs to add enough depth to the center position. Yang Hansen can fill this role. Yang Hansen, who is 7 feet 2 inches (about 2.18 meters) tall and weighs 250 pounds (about 113 kilograms), is a huge defensive threat in the interior. He averaged 2.4 blocks per game during his two years in the CBA. In the NBA joint trial, Yang Hansen's comprehensive performance attracted people's attention, especially in a simulated match, where he scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, perfectly demonstrating his influence on the court. He can do almost everything.

From paper, Yang Hansen can fill the defensive vacancy in the center position, but some of his characteristics may make the Bucks worry. Even though he is only 19 years old, Yang Hansen has the potential to develop a defender like Lopez. With his figure, he can get a foothold at the basket and easily block opponents’ shots. However, like Lopez, scouts believe that Yang Hansen may have difficulties in defending away from the basket and is easily pulled to the outside by his opponent for attack. The scene of Lopez being abandoned in the first round of the 2025 playoffs is still vivid in my mind. This is mainly because Lopez can’t keep up with the younger, more athletic Indiana Pacers. It seems like a high probability that Lopez will leave, but if he is replaced by a big man who also has this weakness, it will definitely cause some concern.

The Bucks need a young, athletic, flexible and agile center. Although Yang Hansen's defensive potential cannot be ignored, he does not have these characteristics, and these characteristics cannot be easily cultivated. Yang Hansen will have a lot of team attention - he is running around for pre-draft trials, but the Bucks may not be the best team for him.
