    SL doesn't mean anything

    need to suspend this poll till Hansen is in his 2nd or 3rd season; and the players Portland could have had are in their 2nd or 3rd seasons

    I think my original vote was an F.

    Jaku has looked like shit. I still think they should have done the NOP pick. We could have two shots at a top 3 pick next summer in a loaded draft. I like Yang but I would still take the shot at a superstar.

    For the record I was on board front the start ;) after watching tape you could see his BBIQ and unlike the critics I actually thought he looked more athletic. Than what the experts claimed. 7 footers almost always look awkward especially when trying to do quick moves. His spin moves in the lane from top of key and in the lane are smooth. What I haven’t seen yet is the hooks he showed on tape.

    my hope is we have a Jokic and Nurk problem where at some point one of them is so good that we decide to trade the other one, unless somehow financially it makes sense to keep both.

    I gave it a D but now he looks better than I feared. But there is still a long ways to go in order for him to be a starter in the league. Long long ways but he is young and has a lot of talent.

    I give it a B now.

    I gave it an A before and an A again.

    Yang has been great for the fanbase!

    Yeah but the covered their asses on the big reach by securing another future first. I gave it a B knowing that Yang could end up being a big time starter or an absolute bust.

    trading pick for a future 1st and 2 future 2nds is a B, by itself. Hansen's play has immediately moved that to an A. If he improves, it'll move up to S-tier.
