Wow some people have really pathetic reading comprehension skills it's hilarious. And they get offended very easily over nothing, but that's another story LMAO. When did Pryuen ever say that Sun Yue is better than Kevin Durant? Durant is 100000X better and Yue and that's a fact, but how can you even try to argue that Pryuen lied when he said Yue is more atheletic based on official measurements taken at the predraft camp? If you think he made it up, go check it out yourself. And MacGreat, special geniuses think alike. Happy?
I'm very intrigued at this Sun. I think he maybe one of the 40 range guys Morey said would be available at draft. I've read before one report of Sun post workouts. He's foundamentally solid except for one glaring weakness, which is his AWFUL foot speed. Otherwise, he has the quickness and passing ability of a point guard. Sun can stroke the three at a decent clip, but not much of a midrange game. Still, I sure I'm not the only want who wants to see a potent combination of NBA's tallest PG with its tallest C. Between Williams, Sun, Davis, and the scoring wings, if Morey can really pull this off, this will be a draft to remember.
I don't know if Sun would succeed or even able to play in this league. He was average when playing for CNT. I just know that we should not waste our draft pick on guards. We are loaded with guards now, unless it was someone better than guys like JLIII, Luther Head, VSpan. And our PF department is severely short-handed now, it should be the priority at this point of time.
From ESPN Insider, Chad Ford's mock draft of the 2nd round: 38. Philadelphia 76ers (from New York via Chicago) Code: Sun Yue | SF | China He's my sleeper. The Sixers and several other teams have been quietly jostling for position over him. He's a 6-foot-9 point forward with intriguing skills. He isn't ready, but with three picks, why not take a project? We may not get him.
Phil Jackson loves big PG's. Hopefully Sun can find a niche as a backup PG/point-forward and defender. Best of luck to him on the Lakers.
There's a japanese kobe in the Lakers? Dang can't believe a team with 2 Kobes lost in the first round.
