So Kupchak had always known that Zhang Yang's physical condition was quite good.
On the contrary, the scouting report described a high school player who primarily utilized his athletic ability as "average" in the NBA, with a mid-range shot, outstanding details in his shooting technique, and even several highly difficult skills, including starting to ponder post-play rhythm, which surprised Kupchak.
Kupchak felt that the scouting department needed to be reorganized. How could they view high school players through tinted glasses? They only focused on physical ability and didn't notice the skills.
Also, there needed to be a comparison. At today's Lakers workout, only he and Bynum were high school players. Compared to Bynum, his athletic potential was clearly more ordinary.
And at yesterday's Grizzlies workout, including the two of them, there were a total of 22 players, most of whom were guards.
