Hansen ranks last in the league in true shooting percentage—well behind the second-worst—showing his shooting needs major improvement.

On January 6 (Beijing time), a Trail Blazers fan forum shared Yang Hansen’s True Shooting Percentage (TS%)—and the numbers look rough. Yang currently ranks last in the entire league in TS%. Even with a small sample size, he’s still below 40%, sitting at 39.5%, which is notably lower than the second-worst mark (Chris Paul at 41.3%, also on a limited sample).

Offensive breakdown

• Three-pointers: extremely inefficient — 3 made on 22 attempts (13.6%)
• Mid-range: almost no meaningful production
• Finishing at the rim: below-average efficiency — 15/52 (28.8%)
• Free throws: over 90%, currently his most reliable scoring method

What TS% means (simple version)

TS% is calculated as:
TS% = Points / [ 2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA) ]
It measures overall scoring efficiency, factoring in threes and free throws, which makes it more informative than basic field-goal percentage.

Overall assessment

Yang’s defense has improved recently, but offensively—by NBA standards—his efficiency is poor across the board: from three, mid-range, and even at the rim. His rebounding impact also appears limited. The team doesn’t seem to need him as a primary passer/organizer, and some of his on-court decision-making can look loose.

Right now, the one consistently positive offensive contribution he provides is screen-setting. To become a reliable rotation player, he needs major growth in shooting and finishing—ideally following a development path similar to Clingan’s steady technical improvement.
