Tuoji: Trail Blazers do not trust Rowe s health. Yang Hansen and Klingen are very complementary.

Trail Blazers reporter Reese Kunz wrote an article about why the team chose center players in the first round of the draft for two consecutive years. He said that the fundamental reason is that the Trail Blazers do not trust Rowe's health, and the technical characteristics of Yang Hansen and Klingen can form a good complement.

The reporter wrote: "Many people wonder why the Portland Trail Blazers will select two centers in a row in the first round draft, especially when the center is not a shortage position for the team. But the complementarity of these two players is actually extremely strong. Donovan Klingen is the core pillar of the defensive end, while Yang Hansen is the organizational hub of the offensive end."

"If we look at the unreliability of other center candidates in the team, this operation is more reasonable. There is indeed a congestion problem of excessive centers in the Trail Blazers' lineup, but from Changxi Billup From the perspective of S' tactical choice, this congestion has never really been established because there are very few candidates for him to trust. The main reason for this situation is Rowe's health. Rowe has good offense and defense, and has an all-in-one threat, but in his seven-year career, Rowe has only played 235 games, with an average of less than 34 games per season, and has only played 26 games for the Trail Blazers in the past two years. Rowe's contract will expire next summer, with an annual salary of $13.3 million. If he cannot continue playing in the new season, then trading him may be more beneficial to the Trail Blazers."
