No disrespect to Jack Ramsay, but I seem recall that he was ome of those who didn't believe Yao would be great. So why a 18.5/8.5 Yao would dissapoint him? Oh, I think the article is a fair evaluation of Yao.
Yea, but the fact that a knowledgeable source, a hall of fame center who has alot of playing similarities to Yao said it, gives the info alot more weight.
no way Newell does it but I'm sure he do a few sessions with him in the offseason send an assistant along with Yao and get them to continue Newell suggestions/drills over the course of the whole offseason and season
