I like his energy. I had to laugh when he mentioned Ja'Kobe was doing some and'1 dribbling and he said: "oh you must be doing that dribbling when coach Ivo is not around." I think the Euro coaches must be on guys who pound the rock too much. I love the .5 offense.

We're currently atop the standings with the best point differential thanks to Chicago. There are 8 undefeated teams left. If we win our 4th game by 1 point, we'll end up with a point differential of +13, which would be 3rd but is within striking distance for a couple teams below that, so there is still risk of missing the playoffs undefeated.
Of the other undefeated teams, the Kings, Wolves and Thunder play tonight, so we should know if they are still in the running and what their point differential is before our game tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we play at 10. The Hawks play at 4:30, the Spurs and Hornets play each other at 7. So a) one team will be out and b) we should know the other two results before our game starts. The Clippers play after us.

I think his athleticism is too concerning and he isn't a big 7 footer. He might have a neutral to negative wingspan. I don't think his shot is that great either I see efficiency issues with him.

Are you just guessing? According to NBADraft.net, Yang measures 7'1" barefoot and 7'3" wingspan and weighs 252 lbs.
He has high BBIQ reportedly with excellent court vision with Jokic-like passing and playmaking which you can see flashes of in his Summer League games. According to his draft report: he has a decent post game, mixing in scoops, hook shots, drop steps, and shoulder fakes. He shows decent touch from the free-throw line, indicating potential shooting improvement. His athleticism is fine for a 7-footer.
It remains to be seen whether this translates to the NBA game (though you can say that about any draftee) but, if so, and based on what we're seeing so far in SL, he could be one of the surprises of the draft, maybe finishing top 10 in his draft class.
