Remember when I said F tanking? I'd take Yang over Flagg

That guy was good.

There's just something....different and special about Yang. I was watching his pre-draft workout video on YT the other day, trying to find something I hadn't already watched; there's something about the way he plays the game that really stands out. The look on his face, his eyes.

Is it irrational to choose him over Flagg? Perhaps. I don't care. He has convinced me that he cares about his teammates and has the skills to amplify everyone to a much higher level. The hype and the talk about Summer league was real. There's a reason he was being talked about more than any other player.

Dude can flat out BALL! He plays like a pro. Can you imagine what it will be like when he has players like the rotation Blazers around him?

I'd certainly take him over Clingan as would the FO. They wanted him last year, but he didn't declare. He's going to push Clingan out of the way and start sooner than later.

He draws a lot of comparisons to Jokic, true. I think he will be better, given some time to mature and adapt and grow.

In Flagg, you have a great player, yes? +90 to the team. With Yang, maybe he adds +70 to the collective team power, but you get so much from his playmaking and passing, it's like +30 to each of the players around him, which is +120...now add that to 70 and you get 190.

It's all about the collective power of the team. Yang obviously makes a team much better than Flagg does and then he adds his own power.

 

We had a Gilbert tree in our backyard as a kid. Have you handled a hazelnut sack? Those things are covered in spines like fiberglass! I have distinct memory of trying to peel one. I can imagine the leven of hell that would be getting those stuck in my mouth.

 

I don’t see Yang having the role here to actually become a Sengun, but his game definitely reminds me of some things…

 

I might have to sell this guy the rights to the "HyperBully" moniker.

 

I don't see him as being Sengun, either; I see him as being Yang Hansen.

 

THIS IS DEFINITELY THE UBER DRIVERS SECONDARY ACCOUNT OR HIS BROTHER! NO DOUBT!

 

Hahaha. Comedy. Pure, golden, comedy.

 

Um, did you steal this take from somewhere???

 

It’s because they’re farming for Chinese clicks. It’s no coincidence that the media puts Yang IN EVERYTHING.

 

If I had a choice between prime Michael Jordan and Yang…. I’m going Yang.

 

are you yanging my chain?

 

You have to go with his Yangness.

 

This thread, started at the peak of the offseason doldrums when absolutely nothing is happening, feels reminiscent of a young and extremely bored Kingspeed (or was is Zack Addy?) starting an "I had sex with an NBA player" thread.

 

don’t worry the nba writers were pretty much immediately snickering while calling him entertaining or fun and quickly moving on.

 

I blame this thread on the excessive heat.

Mods please delete it the next time it rains.

 

I think you mean "merge it into the Melo thread"
