    Id have Clingan in there instead of Yang....he shouldn't be put on a pedestal until he at least plays a few games.

    I can't put my finger on it, but something about Damian looks off in that picture. Like it's either a Wish picture of Damian, or an AI picture of Damian.

    I enjoyed the video.

    Gives me a little hope that this is all going to work out.

    every day there is new youtube clickbait for the massive Chinese NBA fanbase. It's not about being realistic

    It does illustrate just how many good pieces we have this upcoming season and one more a season after that. It should be interesting to see which of our young guards (Shae or Scoot) show big improvements. It should also be interesting to see our 5s battle for minutes. Who else has Time Lord, Clingan and Yang? Another story line will be if the vets (Jrue, Jerami and Rob) can have a big rebound season.

    All together this video identifies 9 starting quality players. If Shaedon, Scoot, Clingan and Yang pop, Tou and Deni either stay at their level or advance and Jrue, Rob and Jerami rebound from down seasons, we'll have some really good problems to deal with. Dame is one more player who they say is coming in a year from now but he's walking and shooting in his rehab videos, so watch out.

    Before Yang plays a game is the perfect time to put him on a pedestal.

    Clingan might be worth a boat - but Yang is a mystery box that could be ANYTHING.

    Nobody knows the limits of that mystery box. Hell it could even be a boat.

    It's funny that he had a cool nickname and an even cooler first name, and he was called "Scott"??
