I went to the game and saw him play & this kid can flat out ball. If NBA players, coaches, & scouts are praising him, suspect it's for a reason. He will be something really special. I commend Rudy in drafting him #1 over jay williams, absolutely no question, but then again I'm sure Rudy had no question in his mind either. He will make the current Rockets team a contender for a title in a couple years and a begining of a great dynasty (no pun intended). And for all you doubters out there, go see him play first, you will know what i mean, and if you see him play & still don't agree with me, spectate for another sport b/c you don't know jack about basketball. The same goes for the negative newspaper sports critics on Yao, they are morons and have no idea what they are talking about. My question is "'How did they get the jobs in the first place?"
