I think his ceiling is going to be late career Arvydas...averaging points somewhere in the low to mid teens, roughly 7 or 8 boards, 3 or 4 assists, and about 1-1.5 blocks.
If you take away the Sabas' hook shot, and replace it with a little bit of an ability to put the ball on the floor? There you go.
Sabonis was a very good positional defender in the NBA even with basically no legs because of his BBIQ. I'm not sure he'll ever get to Sabas level D, but who knows. I feel like Yang's natural BBIQ gives him good positional defensive upside and eventually he'll figure out a go-to offensive move that isn't spin right/spin left/spin right.

Why do you have to go all the way back to Sabonis when Marc Gasol is obviously the better comp?

Because I don't think that Yang is going to be as good as Marc Gasol.
