    Yang doesn't have the greatest rebounding anticipation and instincts.

    His only focus on a shot going up is blocking out. The Robin Lopez special. Not the worst thing in the world, but at his size I would hope he can actually grab some.

    He is focusing on the perimeter too much. Not putting himself in good position for boards.

    Yang was talking to Carton about cutting to the hoop. I’m looking forward to Yang playing with players like Deni and Camara who are good at slashing to the hoop. Yang has good court awareness.

    I want to see Yang body up on the block and get fed, but we aren't using him that way unfortunately.

    I kind of like how this SL team whips the ball around. Hopefully the main squad plays like this.

    It gets a bit wreckless though. But, it's good to see the movement for sure.
