Joe Cronin: I wouldn’t put a ceiling on Yang Hansen

Portland Trail Blazers GM Joe Cronin believes that rookie center Yang Hansen has unlimited potential (drafted 16th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies and traded to Portland).

(via Portland Trail Blazers):

“His ceiling is very high. It’s extremely difficult to find a young player of that stature with this skillset, and it’s translatable stuff that we’ve seen really, really skilled big men that can do all the things that he can do typically succeed in our league. It might take him a little time, but as he figures out the speed and pace of our game and all these things, I wouldn’t put a ceiling on him. He’s that talented.”
