BREAKING: Warriors Eye 7'2" Chinese Sensation as Draft Night Wildcard—Could Hansen Yang Be Golden State's Secret Weapon?
The Golden State Warriors are set to make headlines on NBA Draft night—not for a blockbuster trade, but for a potential international steal that has the league buzzing. Sources confirm the Warriors recently brought in 7-foot-2 center Hansen Yang, a two-time CBA All-Star, for a private workout ahead of their No. 41 pick.
Yang, who averaged 16.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks for the Qingdao Eagles, has scouts comparing him to a "bigger Domantas Sabonis" with surprising passing skills and a developing three-point shot. His performance at the NBA Combine—11 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and a block—has front offices intrigued, even as questions linger about his mobility in today’s fast-paced NBA.
Could the Warriors be about to unleash the league’s next international sensation? With Golden State’s aging core and a desperate need for size, Yang’s unique skill set could be the wildcard that changes everything. Is this the next great Warriors draft heist—or a high-risk gamble that could backfire? All eyes are on pick 41.
