    Anyone have some video clips you can post? At family reunion, watching not an option. Thank you!

    I like what I have seen so far from Yang.

    Main negative I have noticed is that he doesn't rebound much. Only 2 boards so far.

    He also doesn't jump very high when he goes for blocks. There's some work to be done there. I love his feel on offense though, and his passing is amazing.

    I think this might be the best summer league debut for a Blazer in a while.

    I think DC, Scoot and Shaedon all got hurt early in their games, right?

    First half of his first game. He will rebound better than he has shown so far this game.

    He doesn't have to jump high

    He needs to be careful with defending the paint though. Not jumping early. Arms straight up. Careful with the contact.

    Yang has the feel of a 10 year vet. Maybe we should trust Schmitz after all.

    With the amount of Chinese followers of Yang, I wonder if he could make a serious run at getting enough votes to be an All Star? This crowd erupts every time he touches the ball.
