This guy plays in a league where NBA players go after they no longer can play in the NBA and a bunch of guys that never made it in the league at all thrive. Here is one good point though. He is only 20 and he has only played in China for two actual years of stats. He was a turnover machine his first year and got slightly better his second year. You can bet he will get plucked constantly in the NBA. He has no real upper body strength so he can't bang and I'm questioning his ability to rebound in the NBA.
Yeah at #25 I'd be excited for the pick. Starting last season with 0 chance of contending and culminating all the losses with this pick..... just not fulfilling.
I am just tired atm -- yesterday started so well when they traded the 11th pick and got good value and guessing at least 80% of fan base were like sucks to move down but they got a good return. Then 16 rolls around and there are a couple solid picks for this team and we get hit with a name most at best had a faint knowledge of and we were like WTF is going on and any good will Cronin built up earlier was gone and then some and for me sucked the air out of the room for the rest of the draft process. I am holding out alittle hope Cronin can pull something out of his ass in the next 2 weeks or so but in reality expecting another head scratching / WTF move from this clown.
Yeah I'm starting to question Cronin myself. He says mostly the right things but I'm really getting tired of "Well the right move wasn't there so we decided to go another direction" stuff.
Whoever planted the seed that Yang was going to get drafted that early played Cronin like a fiddle. Somehow Cronin thought his boy was sought after like he was the next Wilt Chamberlain.
