Team Note: The Trail Blazers can t play the double towers. Using Yang Hansen may have to withstand the reality of strong offense and weak defense

August 19th News Today's Trail Blazers reporter Danny Marang talked about Hansen and Klingen on the podcast.

"The Trail Blazers now have two big players. These two players have different styles and cannot play at the same time. You wouldn't want to see them play for 48 minutes at the same time. The two centers play completely differently. Will Yang Hansen become an early Mark Gasol? He'd better be an offensive threat, allowing the team to sacrifice some basket protection slightly on the defensive end, but create more opportunities on the offensive end." Danny Marang said.

Yang Hansen averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 blocks, 3.8 turnovers, 4.3 fouls per game.
