I used to think that Zach Eddie would never be able to run back and forth at both ends of the court at such a fast pace in the NBA, and I was wrong. First of all, he was a little thinner. I don’t know if Young would be like this, but Edie lost weight. And when I was commenting on a game at the beginning of the year, I was shocked by Edie’s ability to move back and forth at both ends of the court. I talked to Jenkins (the Grizzlies’ head coach at the time) about this, and he said, “Yes, these teams now have special physical coaches, and they have been practicing these.” So, the Trail Blazers coaching staff will help him practice these every day to make him improve.

Players as tall and bulky as Eddie can become as flexible as this year, reaching the level of being able to keep up with the pace. Although Yang cannot play 34 minutes a night, there will be a suitable matchup for him to play in the time he can play, because this is beneficial to the Trail Blazers, and some substitute centers of the opponent's team cannot defend him, so the Trail Blazers can take advantage of this.

Yang Hansen's skills are much better than Zach Edie, and he will definitely have some advantages. Look at Edie's performance this year, he has a great influence on the team. So I think Yang will be fine. In the long run, his skills will eventually make up for the shortcomings.
