Yoho! The top draft pick comments on Yang Hansen! NBA's best dunk of the year

The best block dunk of the year-end and possibly the season, as the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings 98-93 on the road.

Sharpe's physical abilities are incredible; this season he is averaging 22 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, shooting two three-pointers per game at a 32.6% clip. During the off-season, he secured a four-year, $90 million contract extension with the Trail Blazers.

At 37 years old, Westbrook watches the 22-year-old Sharpe flying high, reminding him of his own youth.

Yang Hansen was again listed as DNP in this game, missing his fourth consecutive regular-season game.

Yang Hansen is likely to be sent back to the G League for development soon. In five G League games, he averaged 30.8 minutes, putting up well-rounded stats of 16.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks, shooting 50.8% from the field and 31.3% from three-point range.

Notably, top draft pick Flagg recently spoke openly about his fellow 16th pick Yang Hansen, stating franklyHe doesn’t know him very well, but from watching footage, he sees that Yang is tall, has a good shooting touch, and a great feel for the game...

After struggling early in his career, Flagg has gradually fulfilled his potential, currently averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.1 turnovers, and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 47.8%, 23.4%, and 82.8% from the field, three-point line, and free-throw line respectively this season.

Thanks to Flagg’s outstanding performance and the team’s poor record of 11 wins and 18 losses, ranking 11th in the Western Conference and 1.5 games behind the 10th-place Trail Blazers, the Mavericks are more determined to rebuild around him. Players like Davis, Thompson, Russell, and Gafford have all been put on the trade block, with the deadline set for February 5 next year.

As for Irving, who has not yet recovered from his left ACL tear, the Mavericks currently have no plans to trade him because of the strong chemistry he showed with Flagg in training, and they are optimistic about their long-term partnership.

Having lost Slovenian Doncic but gained American Flagg, the Mavericks may be at a loss now, but the future could be very different.
