NBA TV's Steve Smith Selected Yao as NBA first team

Dampier has attempted only 15 shots outside of the immediate vicinity of the basket all season. And he's only made 5 of them. That's not what I would call range.

Pryzbilla has made only 2/6 on shots that were not right next to the basket all season.

I was thinking about big Z actually.

he's going to be considered a C playing next to dwight, while having the range extending to 3 pt line

 

It's great he put Yao as 1st team, but as an analyst, he's a joke.

 

Honestly, Howard do better than Yao in most of the games. But howard plays less important role in the team. The magic is more dependent on their three-point shooters. Howard' skill is less and rough. Totally, he does better than Yao in the statistic numbers and should be the number one center.

 

Duncan been playing brilliantly this season.
PPG 19.4
RPG 10.50

What else do you want? Add in 1.7 blocks and 3.5 assist in only 33.8mins


Its like scolandry in one and a little bit more.

Scola-
PPG 12.9
RPG 8.80
BPG 0.1
APG 1.5
MPG 30.5

Landry-
PPG 9.3
RPG 5.0
BPG 0.4
APG 0.6
MPG 21.1

 

Gtfo.

 

Whats one vote going to do?? I still believe Yao will be left off the 1st NBA team. Its going to be Duncan and Dwight.

 

surely Yao isn't good enough to be considered a top 5 player, but there actually isn't a better guy than him at the center spot. so if I were to choose the best center to start for the NBA first time, my choice would still be yao.
