Portland Trail Blazers vs. Phoenix Suns preview

The Portland Trail Blazers are having a good run in the summer league thanks to their surprise draft pick, Hansen Yang. The Chinese international has been an indispensable asset for the Blazers' young squad in this pre-season event. He has shown excellence in being a big man with impressive passing skills. He is averaging 10.0 points and 4.0 assists per game.

Yang is similar to Nikola Jokic in terms of his play style. He uses court awareness to provide crucial passes to his cutting teammates and punish the defense when they overcommit. On an individual level, Yang's shooting abilities need more polishing.

On the other hand, Suns' sophomore Ryan Dunn has been great for his team. Coming into his second year in the league, Dunn has shown the experience he gained in his first season. He averages 17.5 ppg and is the main offensive weapon for the Suns' summer league lineup.
