The Jazz Must Select Hansen Yang at 21
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
Falling? You mean rising. I fear he might rise out of our range if he's at 22 already.
reallllly good face-up moves for a kid that size and age. Sheesh.
He gone

If it's Ace who falls to 5th, I'm on board with trading down for Nets #8 & #19 or even package with #21 to Wizards for #6 & #18 if they really want Ace. Both #18 & #19 will give us a better chance at landing Yang.
I'd just take Ace and cross my fingers Yang is there. I doubt Utah is considering him given there will be safer perimeter options available at 21, but fingers crossed.

Regarding concerns over this kid’s athleticism, he’s almost exactly three years younger than Edey, so if we were to draft him he’d have a two year head start on improving his body fat/athleticism as compared to Edey. That means something.
Also, his skill, like Cy size, is extremely high level imo. Totally reminds me of the elder Sabonis in the late 90’s.

Tremendous Upside

I can't freaking believe people are serious about this guy. A total non-shooter with lead feet who can only score from the left block (even in China, where he's facing 6'8'' guys) and plays some of the worst pick and roll defense I've ever seen from a big, on any level. SMH
Oh, but he's supposed to be this "hub"? I mean every single center will just drop against Yang all day long in the NBA, just like they do against Kessler. He won't have his CBA passing lanes because teams will figure him out within the first five minutes, and we all know he flat out refuses to shoot (which is understandable because he can't hit anything).
What a joke.

Another point to make is Ryan trying so hard to put Utah on the map in the sports world ever since he took over. What's a better way to accelerate that process by getting the Chinese market behind us. Like what Yao did for Houston. He needs to be good. Of course. But the upside is tremendous.
