Wesley was very excited and celebrated with Yang Hansen. In the locker room after the game, Yang Hansen talked to reporters about Wesley.

When asked about his thoughts during Wesley's excited celebration, Yang Hansen said: "He is a person full of energy both on and off the court, always cheerful, constantly telling me funny things and teaching me amusing words—though of course, some can't be said. Anyway, he's a very happy and positive person. On the court, he passes me many good balls, and I try to seize those opportunities. He is also a very good teammate and a very good friend."

During an interview, Splitter called Wesley the most charismatic player in the team's locker room. When asked about how a player like Wesley helps him both on and off the court, Yang Hansen said: "There are quite a lot of jokes, it's very joyful, and he really knows how to lighten the atmosphere."

"On one hand, we are about the same age; on the other hand, he is quite outgoing—really too outgoing. I thought I was outgoing enough, but he is even more outgoing than me, just a particularly happy person. Having such a person is truly a great thing. It helps me better integrate into the team and the culture here in America."

"Share a story: last time he took me to a small event and asked me about an English word, but it was the first time I heard that word; I had never heard it before. Anyway, he guides me step by step to integrate and taught me some excellent words."
