Irate Chinese Yang fan feels cheated:

I stopped right after they wrote "This game was basically a battle between two inexperienced teams".

Guarantee Yang is happy to be on a team that's competing to some degree rather than rebuilding.

He looks very engaged on the bench and with the team in general.

Much like Clingan I expect year two to be completely different after spending a whole year learning and a summer training NBA style.

he's making a guaranteed $378K/month for 2 years. I'd be ecstatic with 1/10th of that

I wonder how much of Yangs play is due to language/culture shock.

I would guess it's less likely that someone from a European country would have language issues, but also they tend to grow up playing against grown men vs the route Yang has gone.

In addition to people having somewhat unfair or unrealistic expectations for him.

He's 3 games into his, hopefully long, career. He's about where I expected.

It's Šarūnas Marčiulionis so you did a helluva job with your guess.

Well thank you. You know, @THE HCP ain’t to good with the book learning. Been working on it FAMS!

Too good, not to good.

We should trade him for Cedric Coward.

We should trade him for Cedric Coward.

Best we can get today is Cedric Ceballos.

Doubt we could even get Cedric the Entertainer.
