The Jazz Must Select Hansen Yang at 21

If you need verifiable proof of athletic peak, look at runners fast times for their careers. Typically will be in their mid to late 20s, with some peaking in their early 30s. Some are also exceptions in their early 20s, like 22-24, but none are at age 20

He will have to work on his defensive mobility, but that is the only question I have on his game.

This seems like a pretty big question, though.

this explosion type athletes typically peak late 20's / 30

Mr. Yang might be a pick that would a two timing strength with Kessler.

All that said, I like our options at 5. I’m more interested in the pick at 21. Would love to hit here.

To me he is basically taking Queen's spot in the draft. Name me one thing Queen can do that Yang can't. Plus much better size/athleticism.

Time to join the Yang Gang.

Count me in as a member of the Yang Gang.

He plays like a lot like the old, broken down, NBA version of Arvydas Sabonis.

Hey, that's fine! Sabonis was a valuable player. As long as he didn't have to move.

I'd definitely be onboard with getting this guy at 21. I'd feel this way regardless of the trades I'm hoping we make, but I'm now leaning in the direction of trading Kessler, so there's additional need for a center in my mind.

We'd have banners in the rafters if we had that broken down Sabonis in the late 90s.
