Yang Hansen showcases a needed skill in Blazers second preseason game

Yang Hansen Showcases Key Skill in Blazers' Second Preseason Game

In their second preseason game, the Portland Trail Blazers witnessed how Yang Hansen's floor spacing improved their entire offense. After a modest start to the preseason, the rookie bounced back strongly in Portland's tight 124-123 victory over the Sacramento Kings.

Hansen played 17 minutes, contributing 16 points, four rebounds, one assist, and three blocks. He demonstrated a versatile game that highlights why the Blazers' front office is excited about his potential.

Impressive Shooting Performance

The most notable aspect of Hansen's game was his shooting ability. During the third quarter, he made two consecutive three-pointers and finished shooting 5-of-8 from the field and 2-of-3 from three-point range. Although the sample size was limited, Hansen’s emerging three-point threat is promising.

"Still, the fact that Hansen is already a three-point threat at this stage in his career is going to do wonders for both his own game and Portland's offense as a whole."

This skill is expected to benefit not only Hansen's development but also the overall effectiveness of the Trail Blazers' offense.

Author’s summary: Yang Hansen’s ability to space the floor and shoot effectively in limited minutes shows great promise for his role in strengthening Portland’s offense.
