    NBA Comparison: Grant Hill

    6'7'' 200

    Strengths: One of the brightest hopes in Asia. Everything he does is smooth. He is a very fluid athlete who makes the game look easy. Always on balance, a set of excellent fundamentals. Has star quality. Still very young but Looks to be his listed age of 1988, and if so has a tremendous amount of potential. Has exceptional leaping ability and body control. Already has a nice frame, which will only improve. He has guard skills and could end up over 6-9.

    Weaknesses: Not a fiery type of charater. Will need to gain more of an attitude to be great. Still very young and lacks experience. Needs to get "nasty" and learn to be a star. He has all the tools, does he want to dominate?

    Notes: Was one of the youngest and still one of the top scorers at the adidas Asia All Star event.

    He is very athletic, great finisher and passer but poor shooter.
    He is the best prospect in china right now.

    ok the dude has some hops. Not Michael Jordan hops taking off from the foul line and dunking but some good athletic skills. He could develop into a very good player and be NBA quality.

    He's probably got more skills, but from those vids he looks like any number of college basketball players who end up playing oversees.

    But, assuming no birthdate mix up on this one, he's real young and could develop into a great player.

    LOL at him taunting the guy he dunked on by pointing to his biceps. I would pay to see Yao do it just for fun. :D

    Going off the YouTube video, it looks like his range extends out to 0 feet.

    from the youtube video, he does seem like he's "fiery", at least i know yao wouldn't be dunking like that if he were 6 7 and had this guy's athleticism

    Hes actually an excellent midrange/3pt shooter and decent weak side shotblocker. There are plenty of Gifs made by some chinese fans on Hoopchina.

    Not that I can dunk my self but those dunks seemed... plain. I've seen guys at UofH look better dunking than that. Show me some windmill dunks and I"ll say this kid will stand out.

    If this kid doesnt develop a butter smooth jumper, he has zero chance to be drafted.
