This is the kind of things that drives me nuts no matter who the big man is. Yang has sealed off his man and all you have to do is toss the ball in between him and the hoop.
Instead, Michael Jordon Cissoko drives to the hoop and stops, bringing his defender with him and clogging the lane, and gets stuck there with no plan.

Wants to try to beat his man when they have already beat all five just with where everyone is.

No sense in complaining about players who will get no minutes in the regular season.
 
Whoa…. You honestly believe that?
To be fair Sabas only hit 32.8% of his threes in the NBA. It used to be such an oddity for a seven footer to have any realistic chance at making a three that 32.8% made him just dangerous enough to spread the floor and no other big was really shooting it.

I hope Yang shoots the three at a higher clip than 33%.
 
As Burke fans across the globe unite against the ironworkers union!!!
How dare you! You don't find her attractive???

Burke has fans?
Yes, and I am one. She is definitely not unattractive. You come home from a long week of work on Friday and there she is in a nightie reading a book of Basketball records and history and says “Happy Friday Honey, Wembanyama dropped 40/20/10. The three point line wasn’t even around until 1979-1980. We’ve never seen somebody of his height able to do everything so effortlessly.”

AWWOOOOOOOOOGA

It's the simple things in life!

Sabas came to the blazers after his athleticism had faded by a decent amount. Sabonis at Yang’s age was very athletic and he played in an age where the game was very different. Hopefully Yang can continue to improve and become what Sabas would have been had he started his career here. Had Sabas come to the Blazers sooner I’m wondering if we could have gotten that 90s team a ring. Both players are very fun to watch!
