Whatever. You can say that about anybody. From the beginning, he was overmatched and incapable of producing consistently in an 82-game season. Yi was a better version of Joe Alexander, who played at WVU and was also drafted by the Bucks (one year later at #8). Tell us what "potential" you thought Yi displayed.

Whatever? That's what potential is. You can't change the definition of something. Beasley had potential, do you deny that? Greg Oden? The fact that a player busts doesn't erase the potential they had. The meaning of potential "having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future." you quote it like its some foreign word. I mean, it's obvious the potential he had. Otherwise he wouldn't have been drafted 6th. He's a 6'11 player that was athletic, had a moderate dribbling ability and mid range shot. It's no wonder he again went 6th in the NBA. Your counter that "He wasn't very good." doesn't mean he didn't have potential. He just scored 20+ on Team USA and Doug Collins said he thinks he could still play in the NBA. So agree to disagree. I'm cool with that. Many NBA scouts and executives thought he could be a big contributor in the NBA and you did not.
From my understanding, he wasn't healthy enough to join the team for training camp and ended up passing altogether (likely due to his contract situation).
Nene is very active, but I'm afraid he doesn't have the foot speed to get around a player like Valanciunas
Great way to end a game! Saric with the block on Pau at the buzzer. Very tough loss for Spain. Their offense completely collapsed and let Croatia come back.
