Yang Says He Can Do Better After Stellar Debut

Related Topics: Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers rookie Yang Hansen dazzled in his NBA Summer League debut Friday night against the Golden State Warriors in Las Vegas. The 7-foot-1 center from China dropped head-turning dimes, scored buckets on graceful spin moves, blocked shots at the rim, directed teammates on offense through a language barrier, and mixed it up with opposing big men and laughed at their frustration. He even banked in a 3 (unintentionally, but shhhhh!).

The performance added up to 10 points, five assists, four rebounds and three blocks for the No. 16 overall pick.
