Aldridge Likes Nachbar And good comments about Yao

Aldridge indicates he LOVES the way Nachbar plays and the way he TALKS! He must be a trash talker from the way he is describing Boki. And as for Yao, he has a point, Other than Shaq, who is going to be able to dominate Yao - in our Western Conference. Here is the link.

Relative to their position, I like the Rockets' other first-round pick, Nachbar, more than Yao. This kid can get to the rim. He wants to dunk on you. He talks a little junk, which I like. And he will fit right in with the draw-and-pitch game Rudy Tomjanovich loves to play. We will not know about Yao for several years, but I know this: he wants to be good, and he'll work at what he can't do. He'll score some, but more importantly, he'll pass. And even when he doesn't have position under the boards, he's seven freaking five. The ball will find him. Also, let's stop this unfair diminishing of Yao because he'll have trouble dealing with Shaq. Everyone has trouble with the Big Fella. Final thought: take Shaq out of the mix in the Western Conference for a second. The conference's other starting centers, at the moment, are Raef LaFrentz, Nene Hilario (or Scott Williams, if the free agent re-signs with Denver), Erick Dampier, Michael Olowokandi, Lorenzen Wright, Rasho Nesterovic, Jake Tsakalidis, Dale Davis, Vlade Divac, David Robinson, Jerome James and Greg Ostertag or Jarron Collins, depending on Jerry Sloan's mood. Who, of that group, is going to dominate Yao?
