    Love the pics of the picks, guys! ;)

    Wow... you can really see a difference in Yao in the pics from China and those of just last season. If he's increased his endurance, and stays healthy, the Rockets are going to be unleashing a two-headed monster on the NBA. We're just going to kill people! If we stand pat with the moves we've made this offseason, with Swift and Anderson added to the core, look for the Rockets to be at the next level. Western Conference Finals time, baby! :cool:

    Nice to see asst. coach Tom Thibodeau assisting is the training of other players and offering his services (I am assuming he is doing it for free). This makes sense because JVG once said in spite of how great he is he has never done the politics many assist do in order to get a head coach position. He just does his thing the old fashion way. Nice.

    There are some conflicting reports about his age that may hurt him. Some say he may be even as old as 23 or 24 right now vs the 17 or 18 he was thought to be.

    Calm down. It's what the draft experts said. As for the scouting, I know probably it's not true because Thibodeau is there to work on Yao. But why would you be so surprised that a coach is taking a look at a foreign player who is predicted to be a potential draft pick?

    i don't think it's surprise, i think he's just saying the rockets better not be picking in the lottery for a long long time. :)

    I thought there was an agreement for the Rockets staff to help out the Chinese team when we drafted Yao.
