    Love is a decent player, but he just can't stop himself from going one on five and wrecking the offense. Then the other guards follow suit.

    He seems to have a lot of personality.

    Only an amateur would call another person an amateur after they were called an amateur...... amateur!

    Means nothing until he faces real competition.

    Just a reminder.

    Only an amateur would not see his potential.

    Thanks.

    Maybe a little presumptuous on my part, but he fits so much of what this team has been trying to assemble under Cronin/Schmitz. Long. Versatile. Didn't shoot the 3 particularly well last year in the G League but he was known as a shooter before that and the other aspects of his game have improved. Three years removed from some legal issues. I think maybe they took a flyer on him last year to see if he'd grown up and I suspect they feel he has, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's on a two-way this season.

    Summer League isn't about stats. It's about seeing if guys can make NBA plays. Yang made a number of NBA caliber plays. Rupes.... I'm still not sure. He plays really hard and he got to the line A TON but that won't translate to the big leagues.

    it's also worth noting while the caliber of competition is low so as his teammates. 2 man game? mix and match Yang Deni Shae & Scoot

    I don’t want to overreact to a meaningless summer league game but I loved the play of Yang tonight. He needs to work on his finishing and I could see him being bodied by some centers. Still kind of exciting to think of the potential

    He will be playing against backup Centers, but yes he's a kid and he will be bullied.

    Shit I think we are gonna be a top 10 team in the West. CB just needs to not fuck up the rotations. We are gonna be 10 deep.

    So many on topic comments. Nothing about the head coach or front office; I didn't know this was possible!
