Portland Trail Blazers vs New Orleans Pelicans preview

The Blazers enter the Summer League with rookie big man Hansen Yang as a player to keep a keen eye on. The seven-footer was a surprise pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, but he's turned plenty of heads with his passing and has shown why the Blazers were so eager to get him. He's averaged 10.0 points and 4.0 assists per game, showing flashes of his electric passing.

For the Pelicans, rookie guard Jeremiah Fears has turned heads with averages of 14.5 points per game, all while fellow rookie Derik Queen has dominated the glass with averages of 12.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. He's also shooting 50% from beyond the arc, although he has only taken a couple of three-pointers.
