[2016 NBA Draft/2-43] Zhou Qi

Great value at 43 and nice consolation prize for missing on Skal. Both have similar skill sets and weaknesses.

 

Hopefully its God returning the favor for all those yAo injuries Rocket fams had to indure. Best case scenario he becomes porzingis rookie year. Id be fine with that.

 

is he a good FT shooter?

 

I made a statement based off of FACT. If you can read, it's pretty easy to go through this thread and see that most of the posters who are against this pick say NOTHING about Zhou's skill level or weaknesses but rather only mention that Zhou is Chinese.

And then you come WAY out of left filed comparing my observation from FACT to racial profiling

 

Check out this write up on Reddit about Zhou Qi. Good read.

I like this pick.

 

I'm less than impressed because he's a finesse player who plays in the CBA. If he'd come from a European league, I'd be more inclined to believe in the pick. As it is, I'm forced to agree with those who think that this was done for marketing reasons.

Take Harden off this team and we have the worst roster in the league... this team will be trash next season. We're probably gonna max out some mediocre fringe starters and call it an off season... Morey has set this team back 5 yrs with this dumpster fire of a roster he's assembled.

 

ROLMAO !!!!

As comical as it is, I actually don't mind the pick. Folks, it's the 2nd round and it's a stash player who can't come over for another year with his cba contract buyout. Who cares at this point? Nobody at this stage is going to make a difference so you might as well go super super long shot.

 

Rush hour 3

 

If you know how to count,

then just check the previous 8 pages and count on the posts that dislike this pick and tell me how many of them are having words related to China, or Chinese, and how many are related to Les?

Now that's the fact.

 

Initial thought was Huh who? after watching Qi's video, kid is light on the feet, can shoot, block shots at high pace. Add a few pounds and could turn out good for a 43rd pick.

 

Whats wrong is that they actually care about winning more than the emotional well being of CF members.

 

So, when I state my opinion based off of my observation of the posts bashing this pick, it is ignorant and I don't know ****, but your opinion based off of your observations, it is "rational".

 

Nice find.

 

7-2ft and 210lbs?

Wtf. I'm 5'11 190lbs and I'm a skinny-fat ***

 

He was a teammate of Goudelock! So... that's something.

 

Don't worry bro, ZOH already arrived, in large quantity also.
