Yang & Clingan make Rising Stars (5 Viewers)

[KingSpeed]

Sadly, no Caleb Love who probably would’ve made it if he played in G-League.

Nice

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Wow, Love should have been in contention with CMB and Demin. Maybe if one of those guys sits out he gets called up.

Good for Yang to make it but he has to be one of the worst nba players this year to make the rising stars team....

Yang deserved to be a G-League Rising Star which is what he got.

Yang?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Seriously?

I think Yang has a chance to be a very good player. I take pretty much everything this year with a grain of salt.

But this shows you these games shouldn't be taken seriously. They picked him to get views from China, not because he earned it.

For Love not to get picked while Yang did ... I just hope Caleb doesn't hold that against Yang and create some poison in the locker room. That's more than the usual slight.

There are people in the g league that play better than Yang that didn't get it.

I think it's awesome that we're going to see some Clingan vs Yang action.

Well yeah, of course he was selected for ratings... isn't that the whole point of these games? Getting the young guys some exposure and make some bucks. Was there ever a moment you or anyone took this seriously?

They had Mac McClung in the dunk contest for the last 3 years....the NBA isn't serious about shit.
He's averaging 16-9-3.4 in 5 games (clearly they don't have a min requirement).

It's a little more egregious that Love didn't get recognition, I think he's the #8 in rookie scoring this year.

 

[SwissBlazer]

Yang is just a way to interest the big market of China. Even as a G-League player, he isn't one of the most deserving. I hope he becomes a good player and still believe in this to happen. But this is pure PR.

 

[KingSpeed]

There are people in the g league that play better than Yang that didn't get it.

Yang’s stats are 18.3 ppg and 9.7 rpg. Pretty good.

Love and Yang weren’t competing against each other. Yang got a G-League spot. Not a Rookie spot.

Was Tristen Newton selected for ratings? Or is it only Yang?

Not nearly good enough. So many guys in the g league with better numbers and a bigger sample size.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Anyone who didn't see this coming wasn't paying attention.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Not nearly good enough. So many guys in the g league with better numbers and a bigger sample size.

Is it all G League players or just G League rookies?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Is it all G League players or just G League rookies?

No idea but Ron Harper Jr was in the 2022 draft so......

 

[Ed O]

Shedeur Sanders was named to the Rising Stars game, and Yang made the Pro Bowl, too.

Synergy, baby.

 

[wizenheimer]

Yang’s stats are 18.3 ppg and 9.7 rpg. Pretty good.

53 G-League players average more points and 12 average more rebounds

Yang does lead all of G-League in one stat: turnovers.
