He's the Kon-nective tissue this team needs.

Kongratulations...

Was that one too far? I never kon tell.

My hope and dreams in order for the Jazz.

1. Tre
2. Ace
3. Fears
4. Kon
5. Trade down, get an asset and draft Riley.
6. @21, draft Fleming
7. Second round Yang

This except I would throw VJ in there right before Kon

Hope we get one of Fears/Kon. Then, if we could snag someone like Queen or Yang. Maybe trade for another pick to get a wing guy.

This reminds me so much of the video series the kings did that ended with them taking stauskas. Gonna be a recap video with Ryan saying Fears and everyone nodding brainlessly

@jerick could you please give us more context on the CBA and the role that Yang played on his team and why his points/rebounds might not match what you might expect from a 7'2" NBA prospect playing in the CBA?

Whoo I just got off from school. I don’t really watch CBA, but Yang is the young core of his team. I think the coaching staff held him back a bit in regular season since he’s needing to stay healthy for the draft though. I just checked his stats and he averaged 33 minutes, 10 rebounds and 16 points.He shot 33% from three which is pretty good. I think that’s a kinda good stat sheet for a late 1st round pick. I could go look for some former NBA players’ performances in CBA for reference.

The Jazz had a center they acquired from the Lakers a couple of seasons ago and his stats in the CBA were pretty similar to Yang's.

Yang looks really good according to stats. But just looking at him move he looks like the love child of a 1980s Chinese robot and Andre the Giant.

Clearly both matter but I really wonder which matters most....

How a player pops while watching them?

I hate Ace. Just say no.

I don't really know if Yang's CBA stats really mean anything. Or better said, I don't know if any of us have a good frame of reference for what good looks like there.

I'm the opposite though, where I do think his film is impressive. Specifically his rim protection and passing look to be NBA level skills that he can build off of.

Yang moves great, I dont know what you are watching. He needs to get in NBA shape, but he moves fine.

Been a bunch of mentions of how VJ and his camp envision him doing much more with the ball at the next level. Heard it from Givony and Lowe. Likely just PR, but I also wouldn’t want to pigeonholed into being a role player. Wonder if his camp would be happy with him in PHI? Lot of guards there already. Even if PHI doesn’t want VJ, I’d expect them to send out the message that they do. Wonder if CHO or another team will take the bait.

Ace is getting flak for doing it publicly, but I do wonder if he's not the only one who might have reservations about playing for PHI. Not exactly the best runway there.
