Yang Hansen finished with 15 points (6-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers against the Pelicans on Tuesday.
The surprise pick in the first-round has provided plenty of optimism with his performance in Las Vegas. He is averaging 11.7 points, four rebounds, 3.3 assists and two blocks per game. Those numbers don’t pop, but he clearly has excellent feel for the game, and he also knocked down a trio of triples on Tuesday. The future appears to be bright for Yang, though it’s unclear how the rotation will shake out during his rookie season.
