Obviously 4-4-5 at halftime isn't exactly triple-double watch, but it is a little intriguing. Yang Hansen passing clinic.

I'm not especially worried about the Trail Blazers' finances right now. Damian Lillard means a lot to Portland and it's clear Portland means a lot to him. It's good to have him back.

In many ways, Yang Hansen reminds me of Pau Gasol.

RT @MarcJSpears: I’m sold on Yang Hansen.

Really solid output from Yang Hansen in Summer League so far. Through two games, he has averaged:. 10.0 pts | 4.5 trb | 4.0 ast | 2.0 blk | 25.0 mpg. Turnovers (4.0) are something to keep an eye on, but the Trail Blazers have to be thrilled with what they've seen in Vegas.

I don't know when Yang Hansen will get his first NBA double-double, but I will be 0% surprised if it's points and assists.

Extremely rough start for Kasparas Jakucionis. Through three games, he has one bucket, 12 turnovers, and 12 fouls. Now, summer league is summer league, but damn, you hate to see that.

Great analysis. I disagree with the idea that Scoot isn't ready to start, but the critiques are well-crafted.

Personally, I would love to see Jonas Valanciunas compete for a ring with Denver. He was traded to Memphis the year Toronto won it (after giving his heart and soul to the Raptors for 6+ years) and was not awarded one.

Still waiting for someone to sign Jabari Walker. He's a skilled forward who gives maximum effort every game. A little surprised no one has snapped him up yet. He's worth it.

I'm not saying Tim Hardaway Jr. isn't a good shooter. He's just one of the less consistent shooters with the sharpshooter reputation. And isn't his career-average 3P% something like 35 or 36 percent? I personally don't see him as a major signing, but I'm glad DEN is shoring up.
