Huh, I thought it was just me and @str8line that were big on him. Welcome aboard man. Hyped you see it too.
We are all equals no matter how early or late as long as we are here.
What happened to that trippy dude?

Isn't confirmation bias just the best!!
I found this interesting. Figures it is the year when we have two picks. But it makes that Phoenix swap look a little better..

Haven't you had him #1 on your big board since like 2022 lol. I think you may have invented him.
I honestly didn’t look much into Yang because I thought it was a foregone conclusion that he would go to the Nets. It’s funny how they had a million picks, when passing only, and somehow didn’t end up with him. He looks good. Conditioning needs a lot of work though.
Portland pulled the rug on them
Yang's highlights were impressive. His lowlights from the game look like he might not be playable for a minute in the NBA. He's an interesting project only because of one player though. If Jokic didn't exist no one would even mention the NBA as an option.
I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised because he was working out with everyone. He didn’t shut it down to get to the Nets. The only time I saw him play was the combine scrimmages, but he looked good in those games.
Yeah, he has lead feet, but I'm hoping that's more due to him just not being used to defending on the perimeter at all and something he can improve.
I think he has enough defensive size to be a viable rim deterrent though if he can figure out the foot speed/reaction equation

Wonder if it's the same waiver structure as Dame's. I still think about all Phoenix news in regards to how they can fail in 2031, but six years is a long *** time
Isn't it kind of... early to make such pronouncements?
The entire culture is comfortable in convincing itself it knows so much more than it does, completely unaware that they’ve been convinced by themselves. Repeat it enough times and it’s a foregone conclusion to skip x draft and start stocking up on 2036 because that’s where we all know the real generational talent is.
Probably is. 2011 (Kawhi, Kyrie, Klay, Butler) and 2009 (Steph, Harden, Blake, Jrue, DeRozan) were supposed to be terrible drafts and they ended up being better than average.
