Eagles star Yang looks set to soar in NBA

Under the guidance of LeBron James' agent, Chinese teen is 'confident' about his prospects in 2025 draft

A 19-year-old 7-footer with a versatile game not unlike NBA superstar Nikola Jokic? No wonder scouts across the league have kept an eye on him. However, he remains a raw talent.

The youngster in spotlight is Chinese prospect Yang Hansen, a 2.18-meter play-making center who's proved his elite caliber after two years in the CBA and has emerged as, potentially, China's next big thing in the world's premier league after recently entering the 2025 NBA Draft.

Although far from a complete product, even by domestic standards, Yang has braced himself for a challenging, yet intriguing summer, confident that he will end up sharpening his game Stateside next year.
