One of the great things about Yam is his huge jump in shooting.  2 years ago he shot 23% from 3 on fewer than 1 attempt per game.  Last year he was 27% on 2.7 attempts per game.  This year he’s spiked to 42% on 4.4 attempts per game.  He’s clearly put in the work.  He seems like someone who would go in the 1st round this year based on that jump.

Can you find his measurements anywhere?

Aside from height, no.  And since I can't, I'd assume his wingspan is around average for his height, as someone would have mentioned it if it were an asset, and likely would have mentioned it were it a major liability.

I'm seeing 6'2" and 6'3" as the height... He has wide shoulders but his arms don't look really long but also he has really baggy shorts and shirt.  I like him to guard the quick guards in the league. He just turned 20 in December so still very young.

That backcourt will have many opposing guards go Kyrie and take days off when they play that backcourt.

The PG the Celtics always wished Avery Bradley could become.

I don’t think he’ll be strong enough to be Pat Beverly, who like Smart can guard any position.

I don’t think Schröder shoots well enough to be Yam’s ceiling.  The on-ball defense combined with the 3-point shooting reminds me of AB, as does the slight build.  But he seems to be more of a PG than AB could ever turn himself into.

He plays more risky than AB and he's more of a point.  I can't really think of a spidery little pest like this kid is off the top of my head.

Memphis Mike Conley? 

I don't think Yam will be anything more than a bench guard. Energy player off the bench but he's still young and has a long way to go.
