Don't forget about Yang Hansen with Trail Blazers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Yang Hansen was one of the most intriguing players chosen during the 2025 NBA Draft. Some even called him a "Chinese Jokic."
And then he spent most of his rookie season with the Portland Trail Blazers out of sight and out of mind.
He couldn't get run at the NBA level, and so a whole season went by where it never really became clear whether Hansen would have a chance to make it or not.
If anything, it sort of just pushed the question off into the future. That brings us to this summer, when Hansen is back at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
