Yang Hansi is in for a major boost! It has been reported that he will share most of the center minutes with Clingan, while Robert Williams may face limitations.

On August 10th, Beijing time, Yang Hansi has arrived in the United States, ready to join the Trail Blazers' mini-camp. He recently shared a photo on social media with the caption: "Short break, energy bar restored~ Onward!"

To earn rotation time in the regular season, Yang Hansi needs to keep demonstrating his skills. Recent updates regarding the Trail Blazers could be a considerable benefit for him.

Firstly, Sean Highkin, a journalist who has covered the Trail Blazers for many years, wrote in his column: "Donovan Clingan and Yang Hansi will take on most of the center position minutes, while Robert Williams III remains an unknown factor.Williams has played only 26 games in his two seasons in Portland. He is in good shape this summer, but his playing time may be restricted, and he won't participate in back-to-back games. However, he should still contribute somewhat at the center position."

Clingan is expected to be the starting center for the Trail Blazers in the new season, and according to Highkin's latest report, Yang Hansi is likely to play the role of the primary backup center. In other words, he could become the Clingan of last season, where Ayton was the starting center and Clingan was the primary backup.

This is not just Highkin's opinion; well-known media outlet Yahoo Sports also highlighted in their article about the Trail Blazers today: Next season, Clingan and Yang Hansi will occupy most of the center minutes, which may leave Williams as the third option.However, Yahoo Sports also mentioned: Considering that these two young players may face foul troubles, the team will still need Robert Williams.

Both Clingan and Yang Hansi do have foul issues; Yang Hansi averaged 4.3 fouls in 24.5 minutes during the Summer League, while Clingan averaged 2.8 fouls in 19.8 minutes during the regular season last year, which translates to 5.1 fouls per 36 minutes.

In any case, based on current reports, Yang Hansi has a good chance of securing regular rotation time, and it may not be insignificant. After all,Clingan, after becoming the starting center last season, averaged only 24.5 minutes due to physical limitations and role constraints. If Yang Hansi performs consistently, he has the opportunity to claim 15-20 minutes of playing time per game.For a rookie like Yang Hansi, this is already a very valuable opportunity.
