Media: Yang Hansen s defense seemed clumsy and hesitant, and he retreated too much in the pick-and-roll &, allowing Post to make a three-pointer

The Trail Blazers lost to the Warriors 123-129 in their first preseason game. After the game, Trail Blazers media Rip City Project commented on the game, which mentioned Yang Hansen. The following is part of the content.

Yang Hansen performed poorly.

In the first game of his career, Yang Hansen played against Quentin Post. Among the many centers in the NBA, Post is not among the top ranks - his movements are slow and his shots are slow. However, Yang Hansen almost let Post shoot as he pleased (9-4 from 3-point range); his defensive coverage looked too hesitant and clumsy.

Post's biggest advantage as a big man is his outside shooting ability, which may be the only bright spot in his scouting report, but what is confusing is that Yang Hansen sank back defensively when guarding the pick-and-roll throughout the game. In addition, even if he completed several good screens, he still seemed unable to get in position when grabbing rebounds. Although no one expected Yang Hansen to dominate the game in his rookie season, he had little impact in this game. He left the game with 6 fouls in only 21 minutes.

Yang Hansen contributed 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers.
