Trail Blazers Manager: Yang Hansen is a special genius and he can make others stronger

June 26th, Trail Blazers General Manager Cronin was interviewed after selecting Yang Hansen.

Cronin said: "We chose a player we have been following for a long time at the 16th pick. We are very excited, Yang Hansen. In our opinion, this is a very, very special genius. He has a great figure, 2.16 meters, (local time) to be 20 tomorrow. With a very high-end skill package, his passing ability, basketball IQ, low post functionality and ability to open up space, we think he will be a great free thrower, and he can also hit mid-range shots."

Cronin said: "From these playoffs this year, I have noticed that these successful teams have their basketball IQ, their skill combination and complementary abilities in winning, and that's what Yang Hansen can bring to us. His basketball IQ is very, very high, and can make others better. We are looking for people like this in the draft, which is what he is good at."
