Event With the 16th pick, Blazers have selected Hansen Yang

我完全理解这孩子是多么年轻，多么缺乏经验。但我很高兴看到他能在那里做些什么。他在球场上传球的视野给我留下了深刻的印象。但取代德安德烈·伊顿将会很困难。#FAMS

 

Does DA know that you secretly call him DeAndre "Eaton"

"I totally understand how young and inexperienced this kid is. But I'm excited to see what he can do there. I'm impressed with his vision when passing the ball up and down the court. But replacing DeAndre Eaton is going to be difficult."

 

I have been asking this question. It’s written both ways all over the place

 

Kanter was not a good passer or shot blocker. Yang is much better at both.

 

That self oop was CRAZY.

 

“Yang has put on 15-25 lbs. of pure muscle.”

 

In China, the first name is the surname. Yang would be his last name here and most if not all of the Western world.

 

You are right with Japanese names. Rui Hachimura follows that, Yuta Watanabe and Yuta Tabuse too. Given name then family name just like US names.

But all Chinese NBA players I can think of list their family name first. Wang Zhizhi is another one. Sun Yue and Zhou Qi too.

 

Yao Ming

 

Yes Yao Ming follows the same, family name first.

Yi Jianlian too.

 

It’s funny I was just talking with my uncle and without going into a long explanation, he’s a fan of Japan and has visited a couple of times I think. I had mentioned Japanese game shows and he said something about how in Japan people are generally addressed by their last name, and that only close friends or family would refer to somebody by their first name.

 

“Ohhhhhhh, my tooth hurts!”
