The Portland Trail Blazers signed center Yang Hansen to a rookie-scale contract, the team announced Tuesday. The Blazers acquired Yang during last week’s NBA draft by trading the No. 11 pick to Memphis for its No.

“The Lakers find their starting center in Ayton, the 2018 No. 1 overall pick who is the only player in NBA history to average 15+ points and 60%+ shooting in the postseason. He has career averages of 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds on 59% shooting over the last seven seasons.”

The veteran center instantly becomes a surprise addition to a free agent market thinned by reported re-signings. The 26-year-old big man is coming off arguably the poorest season of his career, tying a career low in scoring (14.4 ppg) while playing in just 40 games with Portland last season.
