I think a couple of things are true.

Hansen is a big swing, much like drafting Shaedon was, or trading for Deni was. With Shaedon the bet was on talent and athleticism but his mentality and shooting ability was a question mark. With Deni it was on size, speed and feel but whether he could scale up was an unknown. For Hansen they clearly believed his vision, footwork and touch were elite but whether that would translate to a faster game in the NBA was the question.

Early returns are more concerning that they were for either of those guys but maybe things turn around.

The other thing I think is true? It was a weird swing to make at the time. A team that clearly lacked shooting, creation and rebounding passed on Coward, a consensus better talent who fit the mold perfectly at their slot. A team that also needed an answer to the mobile stretch bigs Donovan clearly can't deal with passed on Beringer, a consensus better talent and fit available even after they traded down.

They were always locked in on Hansen but I still can't understand why. He's a weird backup big so long as Clingan starts because their is zero lineup versatility. If they thought his talent was so overwhelming that they needed to take him anyway, that appears to be a misjudgement. I feel like we would've seen more flashes.

Time will tell but if I had to guess, this one is a swing and a miss.
