Chinese basketball star Yang Hansen turned 20 on Thursday, but the best birthday gift he could ask for arrived a day earlier: putting on the NBA draft cap after being picked in the first round.

The Blazers introduced the 7-foot-1 center on Friday after making him the No. 16 selection during Wednesday's NBA draft.

After trading back, the Trail Blazers selected Hansen Yang out of China with their first pick of the night. Yang, a center, was expected to go in the second round, and he wasn't even invited to the draft by the league. However, he did show up to sit in the crowd and walked the stage after his pick.
