I didn't see any talent in this guy I don't work don't go gym just eat and sleep but I have more muscle than this guy just give this guy to Harden to use him as spinning static dancing pole for his strippers
These guys suck in Rio! I don't want any of them on the Rockets!: GP MPG PPG PTS FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% A: 5 13.8 4.2 21 0.8-2.6 30.8 0.0-0.6 0.0 2.6-3.4 76.5 B: 5 18.5 8.2 41 2.6-8.4 31.0 2.0-5.8 34.5 1.0-1.4 71.4 C: 5 11.1 2.4 12 0.8-2.6 30.8 0.2-1.6 12.5 0.6-1.0 60.0 D: 5 19.0 5.6 28 1.8-3.2 56.3 0.2-1.0 20.0 1.8-3.2 56.3 ...The Olympics don't really tell us much about Qi or pretty much anyone else. Don't overreact-it's just not worth the energy. Qi may be good one day or he might suck, but the Olympics won't tell us one way or the other.
Over-reaching positive, Qi was top 10 in steals per-min in Olympics....That shows defensive activity in a way kinda sorta maybe He actually is 10lbs HEAVIER than last year and STILL looks rail thin. Maybe he doesnt have build to put on more actual weight. Will need wiry muscle strength instead. Just shows he has a lot of work ahead of him. Thon Maker has similar issues and questions. Though Maker is 5 years older you can tell he's intent to contribute SOMETHING on an NBA court. Dont know Qi enough still a mystery man of sorts, but don't really get that impression from him YET that he's bringing something identifiable. I think UNLIKE most flawed players, with Qi the NBA is THERE if he wants it. The measurables, agility at that length and IQ can almost accidently do things on the court. His own drive, weight and part surrounding system determines if he makes it in the NBA.
He is clearly outclassed playing mostly the best of the world and the Chinese team in general sucks. However, he definitely has the upside if it goes in his favor. He is fluid when he moves for his size, has touch around the rim, and a shooting touch from mid range. I don't see his frame putting on significant weight but that's not bad thing if he can be a "4" that can guard multiple positions. The NBA is trending towards length and versatility, if Zhou Qi can manage to play 20mpg in the NBA I would bet it's because of his ability to put a lot of length on the perimeter and switch back to the paint.
If you haven't noticed they go after length and/or athleticism with potential for versatility. You remember Marcus Morris. Or more recently Capela, Dekker, Harrell, other Harrell type dude, and Zhou Qi.
You know how fun this team would be to watch play with Yao in the paint? Yao's ability to shoot from outside the paint would be beautiful with Harden.
You know how fun this team would be to watch play with Yao at the 5? Yao's ability to shoot from outside the paint would be beautiful with Harden. And we could post up Yao.
Oh I don't know. With just a little luck and a lot of hard work he could be the next Malick Badiane...
umm but why wouldnt he want to play well? It's his first test playing out side of China with the worlds top talent. He failed miserably. Looks like he is going to suck. I won't say BUST because he's a late 2nd round pick.. so can you really be a bust?
Doesn't matter how sucky he is, the Rockets are still going to throw him out there. They don't have a clue.
He won't even be able to come over for another year genius. Think he'll spend at least another year after that in the D league genius?
No one will ever be, in my opinion. If only his health had held up. If only. Yao might be giving minutes to the Rockets this season. I wish. He's "only" 35, and never depended on speed and raw athleticism. I miss the Big Fella.
