Should Yao be worried about Pavel Podkolzine, or Peter John Ramos ?

Wll Yao is about to get a good look at Podkolzine

He even noted that Harris, who left the University of Wisconsin after his junior season, and the 7-foot-5, 260-pound Podkolzine, who was taken 21st by Utah, would be playing for Dallas’ summer league team next weekend in three games against Yao Ming and the Chinese national team.

 

OK so we still haven't cleared up whether Pavel is 260 or 300.

"Pavel Podkolzine
RUSSIA | CENTER
HEIGHT: 7-5 | WEIGHT: 300 | AGE: 19"

I don't think Yao will do very well. He seems to always have trouble when he's guarded by someone his own height (Bradley, Z). I hope Yao does well though.

Yao's head is huge!

 

LOL, I like how they photochopped Dream to make him look like the next big thing.
