    I hope there's t shirts made that say just that for Yang night at one of the games this season.

    If we pick a PG, you and others would bitch about how we already have Scoot. If we pick a SG, you and others would bitch about how we already have Sharpe. If we picked a SF, you and others would bitch about how we already have Camara. If we drafted a PF, you and others would bitch about how we already have Deni.

    I dont know much of anything about him. Watched some of the videos. I'm happy to be optimistic now about it. But it's so fucking annoying when we have 3 months of lead up talking about BPA, BPA, BPA, only to have people immediately bitch about a pick because we have a guy at that position.

    It’s more like he has trouble making basic reads. He doesn’t actually look slow footed. Or maybe it just doesn’t look as slow due to the competition. Either way, the IQ defensively looks poor.

    I think he’s far from Edey on almost everything. I’d be ecstatic if he is even as good as Edey now when he’s Edeys age.

    This was such an off the wall pick that everybody involved with the pick in management is basically jeopardizing their career. So they must have a lot of faith. I’ve scoured over quite a bit of footage. I don’t get it. But I’m not paid the big bucks.

    Cronin might be the next David Kahn.

    Ever? Or just this year?

    This year, I think most people would say “duh”. But I feel like it’s hard to definitively say they wouldn’t be able to play together in stints four years from now.

    There didn't sound like there was much wiggle room when Chauncey said no.

    With the amount of threes that are shot in the league you can't play two guys that are as slow as these two. Most teams play four out, so you'd either be daring teams to make practice threes or be leaving one of the two out on an island that they'd definitely get stranded on.

    Even though Yang has really nice footwork, has insane hands and passing along with the shot blocking, rebounding and finishing you'd want from a 7'2" guy he is not some Wemby/Chet type of unicorn. In no way are either Yang or Clingan PF/Cs they are just Cs that's it and this isn't a league you can play two guys like that in.

    Any time you say "BPA, BPA, BPA" and then bitch about fit, you gotta jump on that.

    That's what I thought, but then we found out FOUR team (including the Blazers) were going to draft him in the 1st round.

    Is the name Hansen supposed to be Chinese or English? Just curious if anyone knows? Could go either way.
