Yang & Clingan make Rising Stars (4 Viewers)

[PtldPlatypus]

G league is a chuckers league with undersized bigs. Yang has dominated the 5 spot in the handful of games I 've watched him play but he's not chucking in the G league. Javonte Cooke scored 36 for the Remix not long ago and Duop Reath once scored 38 in the G league. Han Sen isn't lookin' for his on every possession so that's a difference. Caleb would score 50 for the Remix without a sweat. Problem is, Caleb hasn't been showcased in the G league yet.

Yang has by far the worst +/- on the Remix--he isn't dominating anything.

He's not dominating scoring in the chucker's league. He's protected the rim in the games I've seen...I haven't seen a big that can stop him yet on that level but I've only seen a handful of full games. He owned the paint in the ones I watched. He's actually done a bit of everything. He's not fast, that's for sure. I watched him drop 20/7/7 against the San Diego Clippers for one example. No idea what his +/- was but I'll take his line anytime

Remix head coach
“He just does so much good stuff for the team,” Remix head coach Jonah Herscu said after the win, noting Yang’s production is happening while he’s still developing chemistry with these teammates. “ … I was proud of the way he defended and used his length in the paint. Any time they got in there, it really affected them. And offensively, he’s a hub, and we’re really good with him playmaking for us.”

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?

STOMP

It should be noted that the NBA already made the bucks for the TV deal. $73 billion. Good or bad ratings doesn’t change that.

Ron Harper Jr. wouldn't be in this, either, if it wasn't for Dylan Harper being in it. Now, the older Harper is putting up some great numbers with the Maine Celtics this year, but nothing says "rising star" about a guy pushing 26 years old who's averaged 2.1 points in his 18 career NBA games.

They’re related? As I understand, Dylan Harper is Derek Harper’s son.
