Ayton, Clingan, RWIII, Reath, Yang
Our roster is 1/3rd centers.

Make or break type pick for a head scout.

I demand we use the non-tax MLE on a sixth.
Let's just go fully absurd. Turn this into satire. Fully embrace the crazy.

It is a terrible comp. He reminds me a bit of Nurkic or Ilgauskas.

Yeah a much less offensively talented Ilgauskas is a good comp.

Re: 2025 Blazer Draft Prospects
With border restrictions, who knows if Yang is even going to be available to come to the USA? Sabonis situation all over again?

Clingan and Yang on the floor at the same time would be must see TV.

Really, really bad pick in all ways at 16.
Agreed.
Disagree about Yang. He is a very skilled offensive high post creator but he needs a lot of development time (playing against better competition), shot development and time to grow into his body. To me, he is a project that will take quite a bit of time.
You don't want to take him in the first round because of the development time. Well, if you could do a draft and stash, then fine.
Very weird picking and logic here, IMO.

Re: 2025 Blazer Draft Prospects
We passed on Coward to take a pick 3 years from now, to take a guy we could have bought with a second round pick with.
The Jazz get WCJ.
I lost my mind last weekend.
I'm still in that Days Inn in Yakima aren't i?
Holy Crap.
I never left.

Re: 2025 Blazer Draft Prospects
This is going to be one of those drafts where a few picks between 11 and 30 are going to be damned good players and we are going to HATE the Blazers for years.

Re: 2025 Blazer Draft Prospects
I cant even imagine how high the FO must be on Yang to take him after drafting DC - who just had a very good year, obviously needing offensive work but every advanced metric showed we were a much better team with him on the court.
Maybe we are playing the long game and hoping Clingan and Yang have a baby that has elite feel on offense AND defense?

Re: 2025 Blazer Draft Prospects
I have no issue with us drafting Yang. But why on earth we wouldn't trade down is ridiculous.
Do you really think the Nets wouldn't have traded up for #16?
They can't be drafting 5 rookies....
