Garnett clone What?you don't know Yi Jianlian?go to http://nbadraft.net/profiles/yijianlian.htm The dude is awesome...he is only 16 old...he can block shot,steal ball...he can do anything. just see his stats in Junior World Championships 8 games 7 double-double...he didn't try his best,you konw huh?
Where are all these 7 foot Asian guys coming from? I thought Asians were supposed to be short. I'm just kidding by the way.
No. 1 is unlikely.he's a far better athlete than Yao Ming. but his skill level is nowhere close to that of Yao. i think he will be a top 10 pick in 2005 if his home team allows him to leave for NBA. but it's better for him to stay in the CBA for a couple more years to develop his skills and make himself more ready for the NBA.
Nemanja Aleksandrov will be the number 1 pick in 2005. http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/nemajaaleksandrov.htm
How come Aleksandrov didn't play in World Youth Championship (Under 20)? Yi put up big numbers against players 4 years his senior. Aleksandrov only played against U17 Euros. I don't think their numbers are comparable at all.
So how good is he against people beyond his age group? In my opinion, at this point of their careers, Yi is more accomplished. Despite that he is six months younger than Aleksandrov, he already impressed people at ABCD camp a year ago. There is a reason why Yi is in Time Magazine but not Aleksandrov. Anyway, don't hype these young guys so quick. There are many reasons they will develop to something else when they are ready to enter the draft.
well, let's see.. for some strange reason, there's always hype when the nba wants to draft asians. so far, only yao has lived up to the hype and wang and bateer never did anything. so, let's see if he's really the asian version of garnett.
Actually Aleksandrov impressed scouts since he was 13-14. When he played at the basketball without borders a couple of years ago. This year he will be playing agianst tougher competion then Yi will be because he will play for Serbia's biggest club Partizan. HE also play in the Euroleague with his club.
Did you get the premium mock draft for 2005 on nbadraft.net? if so i would really appreciate it if you could give me some info because i could not afford it. thanks
No I did not I am afraid if you get post it here if you they will let you. If not create a mock of the 2005 draft but just change the last pick to get past the copy right laws
WOW! Mengke Bateer was undrafted I think, and Wang Zhizhi was picked with the 36th overall pick...... They were probably very hyped!
