The Trail Blazers are afraid that the Timberwolves will sign Yang Hansen to rob him of the 17th sign? Su Qun: No, let me tell you the truth

Today, Su Qun posted a message to explain several points that Yang Hansen had more doubts during the draft, and he believed that the Timberwolves did not plan to use the No. 17 pick to choose Yang. The following is all the content.

Yang Hansen was selected for the first round high-ranking election. I have not had the excitement yet. Today I will explain the two questions of the fans.

The first question: Why didn’t the Trail Blazers directly choose Yang Hansen with No. 11 and insist on changing to No. 16?

The second question: I won’t go down when I switch to No. 16. Is it to start before the Timberwolves?

The first question is easier to understand, while the second one is more profound and requires a lot of insider information. Let’s talk about the first one first, why not just choose Yang Hansen using No. 11?

Simply put, because Yang Hansen has no experience in playing in the United States, his estimated ranking is relatively low. The Trail Blazers believe that No. 11 is too high, so it is better to change something as a reward.

We can do this example:

NBA is equivalent to opening a market and then giving chips to 30 teams each with current currency. The Mavericks received 30 shopping vouchers, the Spurs received 29, which decreased in turn. The Nets, ranked 8, received 23 shopping vouchers, the 11th Trail Blazers had 20 shopping vouchers, and the Clippers, ranked last, could only receive one shopping voucher.

Every rookie running for election has an estimated value. For example, Flag has to spend 30 shopping vouchers. Only the Mavericks have the financial resources. The Mavericks watched the Mavericks pick Flag away. But starting from the third place, everyone's valuation of the remaining newcomers is different. Before the draft, there will be some draft websites—including the most professional ESPN—to rank their own valuation of all rookies. They observe these young people on an open and transparent platform within the same system, and have been tracking for a long time, so although the valuations given by different websites are different, they are quite different. As for Yang Hansen, they lacked enough data and research. Only the Trail Blazers and Eagles have been tracked for two years, and the assessment is more realistic, but they are unwilling to say it out. So Yang Hansen's expected picks on the draft website are in the second round, and ESPN gives 35th place.

We can listen to how Joe Cronin, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, explained that they chose Hansen Yang.
