Yangsanity, Portland board about to be smashed with "why isn't Yang starting?", "Why don't they play Yang more?", "If they really wanted to win, they would play Yang"

They should pass the ball to Yang more. Jrue and Scoot don't fit Yang's style of play. But to be honest that Yang guy looks more promising than any other center in this draft.

Queen has some of the roughest turnovers. They are really gonna need to simplify things for him until he figures out what he can and can't get away with at the next level. he's like the salaun of julius randles

The Hornets are always one trend behind. We're still trying to load up on three point shooters like it's 2022.

[fatlever]

yang fans are calling themselves "YangBangers" lol.
This guy was destined to be a Hornet.

If we do somehow beat the Spurs in the next game and end up 4 and oh but missing out on the top four due to point differential. We can look back at the last five minutes of the game versus the mavs when our scrubs only managed to score three points in the last five minutes of the game and our 30 point lead went to a 20 point lead.

He really does. I love it. I think he is a good fit with Scoot long term as well.

I just remembered I can't take credit for taking Shaedon Sharpe cause he was drafted quite a bit ahead of our spot buuuuut I can get credit for finding out about him and suggesting he be the top pick before he was on mocks.

Now consider he was supposed to be just now stepping on a college campus as a freshman.

I hate it.

HORNETS didn't draft him but I be forgetting that the spurs are my 2nd favorite team. They got HARPER so in a sense I got HARPER too lol.

actually I have two 2nd favorite teeams. Also the SUNS

[fatlever]

confirmed, no harper tmrw vs spurs
they all ducked us

I'm worried we'll forever have an asterisk associated with our 2025 Las Vegas Summer League Championship trophy.

There's quite a bit of undefeated teams, we need the Raptors, Thunder, and Wolves to lose

[amcoolio]

I'm a Yangbanger. He's going to be good. Incredibly high offensive IQ and moves well enough on defense like Jokic. Super jealous of the Blazers and the Pelicans and Raptors really **** up not taking that guy

[fatlever]

we needed kings to lose
proctor is going OFF
but nique clifford having another good game. he's been awesome all summer league.

"San Antonio is a well run organization"

I'd argue the only out of the box good thing they ever did was target Kawhi Leonard in the draft, then they traded him for crap

Everything else was pure luck

lmao this is cope, be for real

Their competence is extremely overrated. Not saying they are terrible but they aren't all that Iike everyone thinks.

They've been dog shite since Kawhi left, merely employing the tanking strategy, no better than anyone else other than hitting the jackpots.

75% lottery luck 25% skill

They found/developed Manu, Parker, Dejounte Murray, Kyle Anderson, Keldon Johnson, Derrick White, George Hill (there's no Kawhi without developing George Hill), Luis Scola, Tiago Splitter, developed Belinelli,Bruce Bowen and Danny Green, got a good few years out of Malik Rose and Dejuan Blair, revived Boris Diaw's career.

All those draft picks have outperformed the average value you'd expect from what pick they were taken with. That **** not luck dude, again stop coping. If you wanna argue post-2020 they've slid in terms of drafting and developing that's fine but factoring in Pop/Buford this is a moronic and wrong point you're trying to make.

There may be some truth to this but it is much easier to look good as a role player when you are sharing the floor with Robinson, Duncan and now Wemby. Please don't completely ignore the fact that these guys to some extent rode on the coattails of having generational talent taking pressure off them.

Everyone is still blowing them and they haven't been to the playoffs since 2019. In fact their winning percentage in that time would be barely better than ours lol. But super organisation they've got going over there.

Yeah except for Parker and Manu most of those are very average players and give most all franchises 25 years you can come up with the same list of quality players. They also traded Kawhi and Derrick White way too early.

Simply put if they won Keith Van Horn or Tony Battie instead of Duncan they are more than likely Kings level of competence in the 2000s

[fatlever]

to have any chance of making the final four not only do we have to beat the Spurs tomorrow but we have to win by a **** ton
