I agree with rimbaud's predictions, although I think Ming might be able to score a little more than that. Maybe 10-11 ppg.
14 ppg 9 rpg 2 apg 2 bpg .5 spg (If his arms were longer, he might be able to reach down and steal more)
There is a serious learning curve ahead for Ming. He will be lost defensively in his first season in the NBA. He WILL get pushed around, dunked on, and bullied by the Charles Oakleys, Rasheed Wallace's and Kenyon Martin's of the NBA. He will pick up lots of fouls. As a result, don't look for more than 15 minutes a night for this guy. The plan is to bring him on slowly like Garnett, Kobe, and McGrady. It will take time for his talent to translate into success in the NBA. A couple seasons in the big show, and he'll be a 16 pt, 10 rebound guy. Until then look for around 6 pts, 5 rebs from him next year.
Depends on what team Ming is playing for. If he plays for the Rockets, his numbers will be less than if he plays for the Bulls.

The same criticism that is being brought up on Ming is exactly the same as the ones Gasol recieved. "Won't be able to adjust" "Wont be able to bang". In the end Gasol won rookie of the year over all other rookies. The difference btw Ming and Gasol is that Ming played in international competitions. This I feel will allow him to have the same #'s if not better than Gasols rookie yr. He has the conditioning since he's played practically yr round so he won't hit that rookie wall. Remember Gasol didn't.

Come on NYKRule. I think Ming will make an immediate impact defensively and rebounding. He'll probably score about 10 to 13 ppg mostly on rebound putbacks and jumpshots. As for Gasol being the #1 option and Ming #4, well I'm assuming Ming will be the #4 option because he has 3 capable scorers ahead of him, Mobley, Francis and Griffin. Who does Gasol have?
