Seeing that yi jianlian will be draft eligible, i think the rockets should pick him. it'd help yi to have yao around to teach him and we'd have the only chinese front court in the league! plus he should be around when we pick, most likely late lottery. http://nbadraft.net/draftbuzz054.asp
I think the Rockets should sign 3 more Chinese players in addition to drafting Yi to have an All-Chinese starting lineup in NBA... ...
Yi wants a First round. But Rockets could only give a second round pick because we need an athelet SG/SF as our Lottery pick. So let other teams pick him. It is not intersting for 2 chinese big guys in the same team.
I say we sign Liu Wei to play PG, take Yi in the lottery, then draft sun yue in the 2nd round since he's automatically eligible This lineup cannot lose.
Van Gundy is white, and played point guard. We must draft a short, bald, white point guard. Tracy McGrady is black and didn't go to college. We should draft a skinny, black 19 year old, straight out of prep-school. Lampe is a foreign stiff. We should draft another foreign stiff, so Lampe will have company on the bench.
Are you sure? From previous years they were projecting him as a top 5 picks. He is just athletic as swift and taller. He also has a better outside game, to many people that says potential
That's exactly what we need another 4 year foreign project, so that Yao Ming will be ready to compete in 2010 NBA champsionship. We can pick up more lottery picks for the next 3 years.
Now that would be good signing. He could play power forward. With his leaping ability he could out rebound howard anyday. Plus he could do the dirty work if inside,
I think the Rox should consider taking him. He's a great prospect. Just because he's Chinese doesn't mean they should discount him. It seems that some fans here don't want another Chinese guy on the team - even if he is a great prospect. From everything I've read - Yi warrants a first-round pick. The Wang ZhiZhi comparisons are silly. The Rox definitely have experience with Chinese players (our center is Chinese) and Yao would probably make a great mentor with his personality and work-ethic. It may make more sense for the Rox to take him than some other team.
I think this is an excellent idea. Yi actually has potential, but is risky enough that many other teams might pass him up. Yao has a vested interest in seeing Yi improve and get better because he is going to need him in order for China to be successful in the future. Stop hating!
