Hansen Yang and Caleb Love Lead the Blazers; Queen, Fears, and Missi Show Flashes for the Pelicans

The Portland Trail Blazers outlasted the New Orleans Pelicans 93–87 in a Summer League battle showcasing a mix of polished vets and intriguing young prospects.


Hansen Yang Makes His Presence Felt

Blazers rookie big man Hansen Yang continues to show why Portland invested in his upside. Yang logged 26:38, posting 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3PT), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, providing interior toughness and even stretching the floor. His willingness to step out beyond the arc and defensive activity flashed starter potential.


Caleb Love Stuffing the Stat Sheet

Caleb Love continued his well-rounded Summer League, this time playing a team-high 32:37 and tallying 17 points (5-16 FG, 3-8 3PT), 12 rebounds, and 5 assists. His shooting efficiency remains a work in progress, but his rebounding and playmaking from the guard spot keep him in the conversation for rotation minutes this fall.

Queen Commands the Paint

For New Orleans, Derik Queen was the focal point in the frontcourt. He finished with 17 points (5-11 FG, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks in 28:07. He battled on the glass and showed good footwork and touch, even while handling a heavy defensive workload.


Fears Shows Poise at the Point

Rookie guard Jeremy Fears Jr. demonstrated why he’s regarded as one of the craftier young point guards. Fears contributed 14 points (6-11 FG), 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals in just under 23 minutes, showing confidence in his mid-range game and aggression defensively.


Missi a Force on Defense

Though his offensive struggles (1-11 FG) stood out, Yves Missi reminded everyone of his defensive ceiling. He collected 8 rebounds and 3 blocks while contesting everything inside, showing he can still influence games even when his shot isn’t falling.

Scout’s Take

From a dynasty basketball perspective, Hansen Yang’s range shooting and defensive stats raise his intrigue as a long-term upside play. Caleb Love’s versatility gives him a solid floor in deeper formats when he gets time. 

On the Pelicans’ side, Queen looks like a strong candidate to carve out a rotation role quickly, while Fears’ poise and defensive instincts are promising in dynasty leagues. Missi remains a raw but high-ceiling stash for managers willing to wait out his offensive development.

Michael Misa Could Fill Sharks’ Biggest Need Down the Middle The San Jose Sharks have been busy this offseason, adding veteran talent on the wings through trades and free agency — but one glaring hole remains at center. And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette. On the left, the newly signed Jeff Skinner brings scoring punch alongside ...
