10th NBA team! The Timberwolves officially announced the trial of Yang Hansen: with the No. 17 pick + the No. 31 pick

On June 17, Beijing time, the Timberwolves officially announced the list of 6 players for today's trial, and Chinese player Yang Hansen was among them. This is the 10th NBA team that Young has tried out for this summer, after completing trials with the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Suns, Bucks, Magic, Pacers, Nets, Celtics and Hawks.

The Timberwolves have this year's No. 17 and No. 31 picks, and they currently have four centers on their roster: starting center Gobert, backup centers Naz Reid and Garza, and two-way contract center Jesse Edwards. However, the Timberwolves' offseason center lineup is likely to change dramatically, and they are currently in talks with the Suns about a trade for Durant, with Gobert and Reed both potential bargaining chips. Reid has a player option for the 2025-26 season, with the potential to jump out of his contract and become a free agent.

The Timberwolves are also the team that has visited China many times to inspect Yang Hansen. At that time, the media interviewed the Timberwolves scout, who said that he was very optimistic about Yang Hansen, believing that he is young, has strong plasticity, and can gain a foothold in the NBA in the future.

Young's current draft market is bullish, and the prediction order is generally at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round. The Timberwolves' No. 31 pick is an opportunity to select Hansen Yang for his position, and let's wish Hexion a good trial performance and more favors from more teams.

The Timberwolves, 49-33 this season, are in sixth place in the West, beating the Lakers 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs, eliminating the Warriors 4-1 in the second round, and in the Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves were eliminated by the Thunder 1-4.

The 2025 NBA Draft will be held on June 26 and 27, Beijing time, with the first round on June 26 and the second-round pick on the 27th.
