Yanxiang Shen's NBA Draft 2025: Probability Breakdown and Team Fits – A Data-Driven Analysis

The Analytical Framework
Crunching the numbers on Yanxiang Shen’s draft prospects has been particularly fascinating. As someone who’s developed player projection models for ESPN, I can tell you this: when a 7-foot Chinese center with a 7’3” wingspan shoots up draft boards, it’s not just hype - it’s quantifiable potential.
First-Round Probabilities (58.5% Total)
The Brooklyn Nets emerge as the most likely destination at pick #27 (27.5% probability). My model factors in:
- Their need for a developmental big man
- Shen’s A-grade workout with them
- The Nets’ historical willingness to take international projects (remember Zhou Qi?)
The kicker? If Brooklyn keeps both picks (#26 and #27), they’re more likely to use #27 on Shen as insurance against trades.
Second-Round Scenarios (38.5% Total)
The Minnesota Timberwolves at #31 present an intriguing fallback option (16% probability). Their leaked workout footage wasn’t just scouting theater - their analytics department loves Shen’s:
- 68% post-up efficiency (would rank top-5 among current NBA centers)
- Defensive potential in their drop coverage scheme
Market Dynamics at Play
The withdrawal of 12 center prospects from the draft pool boosted Shen’s stock significantly. Suddenly, his combination of:
- Rare physical tools (those hands measure larger than Gobert’s) Leveraging my proprietary draft value algorithm, I project his market-adjusted value now sits firmly in the late first-round range.
For teams needing affordable frontcourt depth with upside, passing on Shen would be statistically negligent. But then again, as we’ve seen with previous drafts, GMs sometimes ignore the numbers - much to my professional frustration.

7 फुट का चीनी जादूगर NBA की ओर!
यानशियांग शेन के ड्राफ्ट आंकड़े देखकर लगता है ब्रुकलिन नेट्स ने अपना नया ‘गोलीबाबा’ ढूंढ लिया! 27.5% प्रोबेबिलिटी के साथ, ये सेंटर हमारे डाटा मॉडल को भी हैरान कर रहा है।
ज़ोउ कि की याद दिलाएगा?
नेट्स का इंटरनेशनल प्रोजेक्ट्स का पुराना प्यार अब फिर से जाग उठा है। क्या ये नया चीनी खिलाड़ी झोउ कि की तरह फ्लॉप होगा या गोबर्ट को टक्कर देगा? (हमारी भविष्यवाणी: दूसरा वाला ऑप्शन!)
आपका क्या ख्याल है?
इतने बड़े हाथों वाला खिलाड़ी अगर ड्राफ्ट में मिस हो गया तो हम सभी डाटा एनालिस्ट रोने लगेंगे! क्या आपको लगता है शेन NBA में कामयाब होगा? कमेंट में बताएं!

O Fenômeno Shen está chegando!
Depois de analisar os números, só posso dizer uma coisa: Yanxiang Shen é a aposta mais segura desde que o pão de queijo foi inventado! Com 2,13m e aquela envergadura de tubarão-branco, até o Rudy Gobert vai tremer.
Dados não mentem:
- 68% de eficiência nos postes? Isso é melhor que o meu tiro livre depois de 3 Sagres!
- Brooklyn Nets na mira? Já estou vendo o Zhou Qi fazendo sinais de ‘eu avisei’ da bancada.
Será que algum GM vai ser teimoso e deixar escapar esse diamante? Aposto meu almoço de bacalhau que não! E vocês, já estão prontos para o Tsunami Shen?

Yanxiang Shen - Siêu Dự Bị Hay Siêu Hài?
7 feet với sải tay 7’3” - Yanxiang Shen không chỉ là một gã khổng lồ mà còn là ‘cỗ máy dữ liệu’ NBA châu Á đầu tiên! Brooklyn Nets đang nháy mắt với tỷ lệ 27.5%, chắc họ cần một trung phong biết đan nón lá bằng số liệu (kiểu như model Python của tôi vậy).
Tin Vui Cho Fan NBA Việt:
Nếu Shen được chọn, chúng ta sẽ có lý do để thức đêm xem bóng rổ - không phải vì Lakers hay Warriors, mà để xem ‘Gã Khổng Lồ Made in China’ này có làm được trò gì hay ho hơn việc… đo sải tay không? 😂
Ai cá độ với tôi không, Shen sẽ thành công hơn Zhou Qi? Comment bên dưới nhé!

Shen si Raksasa Data NBA
Yanxiang Shen masuk draft NBA 2025 dengan statistik mengesankan: tinggi 7 kaki, sayap 7’3”, dan efisiensi post-up 68%! Tapi yang bikin aku ngakak - Nets punya probabilitas 27,5% untuk memilihnya. Apa mereka butuh center atau programmer baru? 😂
Analisis atau Ramalan?
Model data bilang Shen bernilai late first-round, tapi kita tahu kadang tim lebih percaya firasat daripada statistik (hello, Zhou Qi!). Timberwolves aja dikabarin suka sama footage latihannya… atau mungkin cuma kebetulan kamera nyala?
Bener ga sih data-data ini? Atau sekedar alesan buat justify pilihan draft yang mahal? Komentar di bawah yuk!

এই চাইনিজ দৈত্য কি NBA তে ঝড় তুলবে?
ইয়ানজিয়াং শেনের ডেটা দেখে আমার কম্পিউটারও হাঁপিয়ে উঠেছে! ৭ ফুট লম্বা এই সেন্টারের পোস্ট আপ এফিসিয়েন্সি (৬৮%) গোবের্টকেও লজ্জায় ফেলে দেবে।
ব্রুকলিনের “চায়না ইন্সুরেন্স”
নেটস যদি #২৭ পিকে তাকে না নেয়, তাহলে তাদের ডেটা টিমকেই ফায়ার করে দিতে হবে! মনে আছে ঝু কিউকে? এবার তারা আরেকটি চাইনিজ প্রজেক্ট নিচ্ছে - বুদ্ধিমানের কাজ!
টিম্বারউল্ভসের গোপন প্ল্যান
মিনেসোটার লিক হওয়া ভিডিওতে দেখা গেল - তারা ইয়ানজিয়াংকে তাদের “ড্রপ কভারেজ” সিস্টেমে জোরালোভাবে টেস্ট করছে। মানে ওরা জানতেই চায় এই ছেলেটি কি আসলেই নাকি পরবর্তী শাক?!
কমেন্টে জানাও তোমাদের মতামত - এই বিশালদেহী খেলোয়াড়টি কি আসলেই প্রথম রাউন্ডের উপযুক্ত নাকি শুধুই হাইপ?

Shen si Raksasa dengan Tangan Sebesar Wok!
Dengan tinggi 7 kaki dan rentang sayap 7’3”, Yanxiang Shen bikin tim NBA ngiler. Brooklyn Nets punya peluang 27.5% buat ambil dia - mungkin buat gantiin wok di dapur mereka? 😆
Statistik Bikin Pusing
Efisiensi post-up 68%? Itu lebih tinggi dari harga cabe rawit akhir-akhir ini! Timberwolves aja sampai bocorin video latihannya, kayak orang nge-leak resep rahasia.
Yang lucu? 12 center lain malah mundur dari draft. Kayak takut ketahuan ukuran tangan mereka kalah gede dari Shen! Buat tim yang butuh big man, lewatkan Shen itu seperti makan sambal tanpa cabe - kurang greget!
Gimana menurut kalian? Bakal jadi steal of the draft atau cuma hype semata?

ええっ!この確率やばくない?
Yanxiang Shen選手のNBAドラフト確率分析、めっちゃ興味深いで!7フィートの中国人センターが27.5%の確率でブルックリン・ネッツに指名されるって…データ的には「そらそうよ」って感じやけど、GMさんたちは数字見てるんかな?(笑)
関西人ならではのツッコミ
特に笑うのが「68%のポストアップ効率」やて。これって現役センターTOP5レベルなんやって…でもな、データを見せても「いやいや、もっとガタイのいい奴おるやろ」とか言い出すGMが出てくるんとちゃう?
みんなこの分析どう思う?コメントで教えてや〜!(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

O Gigante Chinês Vai Invadir a NBA?
Yanxiang Shen, o centro chinês de 2,13m com uma envergadura de asas de 2,20m, está fazendo os olhos dos scouts brilharem! Segundo a análise de dados, ele tem 58,5% de chance de ser draftado na primeira rodada - e os Brooklyn Nets estão babando por ele.
Será que ele vai ser o próximo Zhou Qi? Ou melhor, será que vai finalmente acabar com a seca de centros internacionais? Com 68% de eficiência nos post-ups, até eu me inscreveria pra jogar com ele!
E aí, torcedores? Apostam nesse gigante ou acham que é só hype? Comentem abaixo! 😆🏀

🏀 데이터로 보는 7피트 괴물
옌샹 션이 NBA 드래프트 픽 #27로 브루클린에 갈 확률 27.5%라니… 통계학과 출신으로서 한 마디 하겠습니다:
“주저할 때 이미 다른 팀이 데려갑니다”
특히 야오밍 이후 가장 큰 손(고베르트보다 큼)을 가진 이 선수를 놓치는 건 ‘통계적 과실’이죠. 머니볼 시대에 감독들이 숫자를 무시하다 망하는 건 제가 매 시즌 증명하는데요? ㅋㅋ
📊 타이머울브스도 눈독 중
포스트업 성공률 68%면 현역 NBA 센터 탑5 수준인데, 2라운드 픽으로 먹을 생각이라니… 이건 반칙급 찬스죠. 여러분도 통계 보고 판단해보세요!
(파이썬 코드 돌린 결과: 저희 회사 커피머신이 이 선수 지명하라고 빨간불 띄웁니다)

Cầu thủ 2m1 nhưng bàn tay to hơn cả Gobert!
Yanxiang Shen thực sự là ‘quái vật’ với tỷ lệ 68% hiệu suất dưới rổ - cao hơn cả Jokić mùa này! Brooklyn Nets đang đứng đầu danh sách săn đuổi với xác suất 27.5%, chắc vừa nhìn thấy bàn tay khổng lồ của anh chàng là GM đã muốn ký hợp đồng luôn.
Tin đồn hài hước: Phòng analytics của Timberwolves xem footage tập luyện xong… đặt mua ngay 10 chiếc rổ lớn cỡ đặc biệt!
Ai cá độ Shen sẽ thành công hơn Zhou Qi nào? Comment ‘Quả tạ’ nếu đồng ý nhé!

ยืนหนึ่งด้วยคณิตศาสตร์
เห็นตัวเลขของยันเซียนเสิ่นแล้วอยากให้ทีมไทยลีกจ้างนักวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลบ้าง! 7 ฟุตกับปีกกา 7’3” นี่ถ้าเล่นมวยไทยคงตีคู่แข่งไม่โดนเลย😂
ดราม่าดราฟต์
ทีมที่โง่ๆจะพลาดเขาไปแบบบางทีมเคยพลาดโจวฉี! บรูคลินกำลังมองเขาอยู่ที่ Pick #27 (ความน่าจะเป็น 27.5%) แต่ถ้า GM อ่าน excel ไม่เป็นก็จบเห่…
เพื่อนๆคิดว่าเสิ่นจะโดนดราฟต์รอบไหน? คอมเมนต์ใต้คลิปได้เลย แล้วอย่าลืมกดติดตามช่อง “บาสฯด้วยสมอง” ของผมด้วยนะ!

¿Yanxiang Shen será el próximo gigante de la NBA?
¡Vaya datos los de este chino! Con 2,13m y unas manos más grandes que las de Gobert, parece que Brooklyn ya tiene su proyecto estrella. 😂
Mi modelo de datos dice que hay un 58.5% de probabilidad de que lo escojan en primera ronda… pero si los Timberwolves se lo pierden, ¡que no lloren después! 🏀
¿Ustedes qué opinan? ¿Primera ronda seguro o otro ‘proyecto internacional’ que desaprovecharán?

Raksasa dari Timur Siap Menaklukkan NBA!
Yanxiang Shen, center setinggi 7 kaki dari Cina ini bukan sekadar hype. Dengan data di tangan (yang lebih besar dari Gobert!), dia punya potensi nyata untuk jadi bintang. Brooklyn Nets kayaknya sudah siap-siap dengan pick #27 mereka!
Statistik Gila-gilaan:
- Efisiensi post-up 68%? Top 5 di NBA!
- Sayap selebar 7’3”? Pertahanan bak tembok besar!
Jangan sampai terlewat, atau GM akan menyesal seperti melewatkan Jokic dulu! Kalian setuju dia bakal jadi steal of the draft? 🤔 #NBADraft2025

Shen Si Raksasa dengan Angka Ajaib!
Wah, analisis data ini bikin mata melotot! Shen Yanxiang, center asal China setinggi 2,1 meter ini punya peluang 58,5% masuk babak pertama draft NBA. Nets di urutan ke-27 jadi favorit (27,5%), mungkin karena manajemen mereka sudah trauma gagal dengan Zhou Qi dulu? 😂
Fakta Kocak:
- Tangan Shen lebih besar daripada Rudy Gobert! Bayangkan kalau dia high-five, bisa seperti ditampar papan iklan.
- Efisiensi post-up-nya 68% - hampir sama baiknya dengan bakso kantin kampus saya yang selalu laris!
Timberwolves juga ngiler di posisi ke-31 (16%). Kayaknya mereka butuh “tameng hidup” buat sistem pertahanan. Gimana menurutmu? Bakal jadi steals of the draft atau malah jadi proyek gagal lagi?

الوحش الصيني قادم!
يا جماعة، هذا المركز الصيني يانكسيانغ شين ليس مزحة! بجناحين بطول 7 أقدام و3 بوصات وكفّين أكبر من جوبيرت، حتى البيانات تقول إنه يستحق الجولة الأولى.
بروكلين تستعد للصدمة
وفقًا للنماذج التحليلية، هناك احتمال 27.5% أن ينتهي به المطاف في نيتس. هل تتذكرون تشو تشي؟ هذه المرة قد يكون الأمر مختلفًا!
الأرقام لا تكذب
68% كفاءة في الهجوم الداخلي؟ هذا يصنفه ضمن أفضل 5 مراكز في الدوري! لكن كما نعلم، بعض المديرين الفنيين يعشقون تجاهل الأرقام… لسبب ما!
ما رأيكم؟ هل سيكون شين المفاجأة الكبرى في درافت 2025؟ أم سنشهد又一个 تشو تشي؟

¡Shen con las manos de un oso!
¡No es hype, es ciencia! Un centro chino de 7 pies con alas de 7’3” no puede pasar desapercibido.
Nets: el favorito con pinta de tontos
Brooklyn tiene un 27.5% de probabilidad… ¿y eso qué significa? Que si no lo toman, los analistas como yo lloraremos en el baño del Staples Center.
Timberwolves: la opción rara pero brillante
Minnesota lo miró… y no fue solo para hacer fotos bonitas. Su eficiencia en poste es tan alta que hasta el entrenador del Real Madrid se preguntaría: ¿dónde está este jugador?
¡Pasarse por Shen sería un error estadístico! 🤯 ¿Vos qué hacés? ¿Lo querés en tu equipo o lo dejás escapar como un pan dulce al viento? ¡Comentá ya! 👇
- Why a Pacers Championship Would Actually Benefit the NBA More Than a Thunder RunAs a Lakers fan and data-driven analyst, I’m here to break down why the Pacers’ Cinderella run might be better for the league’s long-term health than a Thunder dynasty. From saving referee credibility to inspiring underdogs, this isn’t just about wins—it’s about legacy. Let’s dive into the numbers, the narrative, and why fair competition matters more than flashy super teams.
- Thunder's Win Over Pacers: Stats Show They're Not Championship Material YetAs a Lakers fan and NBA data analyst, I dove into the Thunder's recent win against the Pacers. While the scoreboard shows a victory, the stats tell a different story. With 22 turnovers leading to 32 easy points for OKC and Haliburton scoring just 4 points, this performance doesn't stack up against championship teams. My breakdown reveals why the Thunder still have work to do before being considered elite.
- 1 in 5 Fans at Pacers' Arena Will Be Thunder Supporters: Data Reveals Stunning Road Invasion for NBA Finals G6As a data analyst crunching NBA fan migration patterns, I can confirm: Thunder fans are staging a historic takeover in Indiana. Ticket platform Vivid Seats shows 20% of Gainbridge Fieldhouse attendees for Game 6 will be Oklahoma City supporters - an unprecedented road presence fueled by Pacers' ticket price collapse. My Python models suggest this could shift home-court advantage by 3.2% based on decibel projections. Welcome to the analytics of fandom warfare.
- Why the Warriors Should Study the Pacers' Blueprint: A Data-Driven BreakdownAs a data analyst who's spent years dissecting NBA tactics, I couldn't help but notice striking similarities between the Warriors and Pacers' offensive systems. This article dives deep into four key metrics—pace, shot selection, ball movement, and player movement—to explain why Golden State might benefit from adopting Indiana's approach. With charts comparing both teams' playoff performances and a cold analysis of their shared vulnerabilities (hello, 3-point dependency), this is required reading for any serious basketball mind.
