Portland's team is stacked. They may want to draft and stash.

I wanted absolutely nothing to do with Yang, so I'm glad he's off the board and Weltman can't be tempted.

You know Weltman was going to pick him. That means a player will fall to us.

Yang is an all or nothing type of pick. I wouldn't take the gamble this high, but I wouldn't have mind in the 2nd rd of course or even on our 25th, especially with the Nets having 5 picks, I did not see how the Nets would not take that gamble in the 1st rd.

I like Yang. Thought he would be an option starting in the low 20s, but not crazy to me. Elite feel. A lot of these guys have bench upside IMO, and he has a lot more than that. Teams are going to look for that next Jokic nowadays, even if it is a 1% chance.

I like who it could enable to fall to us as well though.

Mike Schmitz hasn't missed on a pick yet.

Holy cow. That's gotta be the biggest reach I've ever seen. Yi Jianlian can now rest knowing he is not the worst Chinese 1st round pick.

Yang screams bust.
