After Yang Hansen Completed Workouts with 7 NBA Teams, Lin Wei Wraps Up First Team Tryout

Following Chinese center Yang Hansen's conclusion of workouts with seven NBA teams, guard Lin Wei has now finished his first NBA team audition with the Dallas Mavericks, earning recognition for his overall performance—particularly ranking second in shooting drills among participants.

Lin Wei Shines in Mavericks Workout, But Faces Structural Challenges

While Lin impressed in shooting evaluations (82% mid-range, 39% from deep), his situation differs starkly from Yang Hansen's:

  • Agency Disparity: Unlike Yang, who is represented by Rich Paul's Klutch Sports, Lin lacks a top-tier NBA agency backing;

  • Talent Spotlight: Yang's 7-foot-1 frame and G League Ignite tape have garnered more pre-draft buzz, whereas Lin's path relies on standout workout showings.


Lin underwent two U.S. training stints this summer, including a mid-process return to China for the U22 National Games and a European stint at the Adidas Next Generation Tournament.

Path to Mavericks Workout: Pro Day and Strategic Pitching

Lin secured the Mavericks' workout through a Pro Day event organized by his agency, where his 0.8-second catch-and-shoot release time (faster than 67% of prospects) caught Dallas scouts' attention. Domestic reports note his 5-on-5 decision-making and defensive reads also drew praise, though turnovers in transition remain a concern.

Draft Realities: Limited Mavericks Options

The crux: Dallas holds only the 2025 No. 1 overall pick. To acquire Lin, the Mavericks would need to:

  1. Purchase a second-round pick (costing ~$3 million);

  2. Trade for a future second-rounder;

  3. Sign him as an undrafted free agent to a two-way contract.
