Adam Finkelstein gives the Trail Blazers a C grade for drafting Hansen Yang No. 16 overall #shorts
what do we need to know about this young man
well you need to know that he’s 19 years old he averaged 16 points 10 rebounds and three assists per game along with three blocks in the Chinese CBA but this is higher than anyone projected i mean this is a swing of epic proportions and what’s slightly perplexing about this is it comes on the heels of drafting Donovan Klingan a year ago now listen i understand that Robert Williams and DeAndre Aton are not in the long-term plans for Portland but if you’re Don and Clinging and you’re sitting at home right now you got to be thinking “What just happened?” Right

CRONIN 🤡
Blazers needed to draft & stash. They're flat broke, and desperate to find an owner who wants to buy the franchise.
Why does cbs sports always hire guys like this for every sport? If teams don’t draft who they want them to draft, they get so butt hurt they turn into a mean girls character 😂
Kenneth Lofton Jr. averaged 25/12/6 in the CBA, yet can't make a NBA roster. How does that happen?
Clingnan can't play 48 minutes and he can play at the same time as Yang due to his perimeter defense abilities. Talent is talent. See what happens and then make a trade if they can't play together. We had Drexler, can't draft Jordan syndrome going on at CBS Sports
This guy gonna be jokic but Chinese
This clip sucks. Doesn't explain why they think it's a grade C pick at all.
My blazers suck D
You can take Todd Fuller or Kobe Bryant the same draft, most analyst take the safe pick. At 16 pick go for a home run! Yang can cook!
These guys dont know ball. Never heard of rotations
Come on. There are 4 centers in Portland. There will be trades in the future! And Yong will play well here.
WATCH HIM FIRST
I just saw a highlight of Hansen Yang was a defensive player at the age of 18, he can shoot the 3 and is a good passer… my first time seeing him, im pulling for him cus he seems like a gem… I could be wrong
Im commenting again, I just saw a 2nd highlight and Yang Hansen looks like Jokic… plays like him
Who the fuck is adam finkelstein
Absolutely about Chinese viewership n $. Hes anither clingan. Zero fit. Zero anything but money
The blazers should draft him. Him and Dame can be great duo
What a waste of pick, classic trail balzers
They have 4 Centers lol that’s all
I remember when Portland drafted rights to Arvidas Sabonis. The commissioner literally laughed at the selection on stage in front of everyone. This dude is going to be good.
Ah yes the Chinese Jokic
Bust
Here comes the so called expert again!!
Just hope Yang can stay healthy in Portland
Can’t go wrong with a 7’2 with those numbers
I give Adam Finklestein an A+ for the Jewest name in sports.
I give this grade a D- for being lazy af
This kid can space the floor a lot better than Donny. I could see them getting some minutes together. Ayton is gone
He’s a Chinese jokic .. slow but can pass the question is can he defend at the nba level
This is an A pick
Wish the bulls drafted this kid instead of that kid from Germany. This Chinese kid is a hooper
They don't even know him lol boy can hoop has all the fundamentals and can drop dimes.
Yo see the smile on Adam Silver face
A+ on the fit compared to the other goobs drafted higher. Class. And I look forward to see him work
He'll get minutes
Grade C????? Whoever graded this person needs to stop doing this job
Finkelstein lol
It maybe similar when Denver had nurkic then drafted Jokic. 😂
The Jew has no idea WTF he is talking about, as always!
Can never teach height and he's decently athletic for his size.
Please hire real reporters, these guys are uninformed and hard to look at. Can’t be both
What do you think of this young man
Adam Silver: the NBA is failing and this decision was made by me, yes we need funding from China. This conversation ends here.
This moron has never dribbled a basketball…..Yang going to cook bigs in the near future
This tamagoshi-guy is not gonna play
