A new name in the United States after arriving near the end of September, Zhang is a true five man with impressive touch and footwork around the basket. He got to his spots and into his moves quickly and decisively, scoring over would-be defenders with ease whenever he played aggressively. Zhang already possesses international experience with the Chinese junior national team, so this is likely not the last time his name will surface in the coming years.

Brand new to the U.S. from China, Zhang made his debut with Notre Dame and is another promising long-term piece for the revamped Crusader program. He played limited minutes while still acclimating in his first couple weeks with the team, but showed clear appeal as a skilled inside-out big. Zhang brings great size with natural strength and nimble feet in space. He was comfortable providing an interior presence as a skilled finisher inside but also intrigued with his ability to catch on the perimeter and make plays putting the ball on the floor. A member of the Chinese junior national team, Zhang checks a lot of the early boxes for a future D1 prospect upon first glance.
