The Portland Trail Blazers took a massive gamble with their unconventional selection of Yang Hansen with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. We're just two games into summer league for the Blazers, but it's already apparent that Portland made the right call going against the norm.
In his Summer League debut with the Blazers, Hansen recorded ten points, five assists, four rebounds, three blocks, and one steal, shooting 3-of-7 from the field. He then followed up that performance with ten points, five rebounds, three assists, and one block while shooting 4-of-8 from the field in Portland's loss to Memphis.
