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

[Ed O]

Ya know I AM moving to Florida (I actually Am). I think Jody Allen just broke me. I think I have to be a Magic fan now. Holy fuck!

I'm really hoping my Blazers fandom can outlast Cronin. With the extension I have serious doubts. I live within walking distance to Climate Pledge Arena, and while I couldn't ever see myself as a Sonics fan... this bullshit the last couple of years is testing me.

This is where he was mocked, Jesus

Remember when our worst fear was that we would draft Derik Queen?

 

[Ed O]

He looks exceptionally slow

Not a rim protector. No perimeter game. Not athletic. 20 years old. Expected to be a second round pick.

He checks all the boxes.

This is so disappointing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kid can pass and looked athletic. Weird pick but sounds like Portland has liked him for a couple of years. One of the top risers in the combine

All of that can be true, but he's A ONE POSITION PLAYER AT THE POSITION THAT WE DRAFTED A CORE PLAYER LAST DRAFT

Better than Sam V. from The Athletic, who had him at #48.

Couldn't we have just drafted KJ or something then bought into the second round to get him?

Pay wall, can you copy and paste the article?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Le sigh

 

[Natebishop3]

Could we not have bought one of the Nets 50 picks to get this guy later?

 

[Quatro44]

WHO?!?

It says he’s worth a lot of money because of China.

I had chinese food for dinner too, lol

Hollinger on Yang: "his ability to guard anywhere in space is a major deficiency. He is neither quick nor instinctive, and his lack of athleticism at the most important defensive position offers him no place to hide"

New Owners Chinese Pick
Big Tv Market

 

[Mediocre Man]

The player is not the problem. Chinese Jokic. The spot is. We could have traded down 2 -3 more times and got him

 

[Five Second Violation]

We need to take this time to be thankful there are teams like the hornets and wizards so we dont get seen as the most embarrassing team in the NBA.

Holy shit this is so bad lmao.

I think I'd take the Wizards front office over ours right now. They at least seem to be executing some kind of coherent vision.

 

[Natebishop3]

We were so close to having an A+ draft. Trading back, getting an unprotected pick and then still getting Jaku would have been one of the best drafts today. We fumbled it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

New owners must be from China

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is why you should never get your scouting reports from Temu.

 

[inconceivable]

The player is not the problem. Chinese Jokic. The spot is. We could have traded down 2 -3 more times and got him

and collect more assets in the process and still would be able to acquire him

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Probably true. But the guys on ESPN said that other teams were looking at him in the first round as well.

We're starting this tank in the offseason by trading for Jrue and drafting Yang. Going to build around the 2028 and 2029 drafts.
