    you don't need to watch hoops in the 90s to realize that Zhou is not ready to guard Giannis

    I'm just giving you **** tin. I think we agree on how far along he is (not very) but I don't think you should lump him into the "useless" catagory just yet. If the rockets thought he was that bad, he'd already be in the D-League.

    He’s not useless
    Clutchfans tends to overrate our scrub players
    Who was our last good second round player .

    Touche. Want to say Kyle Lowery? Either way, it's been a while.

    Better than Yao?!?!!

    I mean I hope so but Yao when playing was always considered a top 2 center and top 10-15 player overall.

    I like Qi but man being a 20/10 guy is not easy. That gets tossed around like a lot of bigs do that and the reality is they don't even get close.

    He gave the Rox couple of very good seasons. For a 2nd rounder.

    If Zhou can turn out to be half the player Porzingis was, in Kristaps' rookie year, then Zhou's first season will be a success.

    He's not going to get porzingis minutes.

    Porzingis is his best case comparison.

    Kristaps was a top 5 pick for a reason.

    Qi has some interesting aspects to his game especially factoring in his size and surprising mobility but I don't see him being anything more than a nice role player in the years to come which is great considering he's a 2nd round pick on a cheap contract.

    At this point I wouldn't mind seeing Big Devil King out there, taking some minutes from Ryno.

    When I voted I forgot who our coach was .

    To ever see him play we need one of two things to happen .

    1) either we are up 30 or down 30 with less than 4 minutes to go .

    Or

    2) All of Ryan , Trevor , PJ , and Luc get hurt at the same time .

    So my (revised) answer will be that Qi will remain an enigma because we won't see him play .
