    Capela was thin, but Qi is silly thin. For perspective, I think Capela was 6'11"/220 when he came into the league. They just said Qi is 7'1"/210 and they really doubt he's even that heavy.

    On a side-note, it puts in perspective how skinny Manute Bol was. I think he was 7'7"/190 or so when he came into the league.

    Yeah it took multiple seasons ... I'm not saying Qi will never play the 5 , but he shouldn't for us anytime soon .

    Clint was a lot more athletic as a rookie when he was forced to play the 5 .

    Clint also couldn't play anywhere but the 5 . Qi can shoot .

    I can see him getting minutes at the 4 , but any NBA 5 will destroy him on the boards .

    True.. But, I remember Capela's first year, Harden made him look amazing even though he wasn't ready. Qi looks goofy but he isn't afraid of getting dunked on by NBA players; he contest everything. Everything else is Qi getting force fed by James Harden and CP3.

    If Qi actually does well (if he plays with the varsity this year that is) Clutchfans is going to be pissed Morey didn't include Capela with Ryno in the Melo trade.

    Patty Melt meal with a Dr Pepper. Qi needs more cheese and meat.

    Gordon is sizzling from 3...he's so valuable off the bench

    can't believe people wanted to give up both Ariza and Ego for Melo

    When we play the Bucks it could be a lineup of:
    Harden
    Luc
    Ariza
    Qi
    Capela

    Monster ball:eek:

    Harden's 3-point shot looks bad.

    If he we had Melo, he would have taken at least 75% of our total FGA, especially against this scrub team.

    Well, he definitely shouldn't play the 5 for real any time soon. Could be a great 4 in a couple years though.
