    Well, IMHO, that is only some wishful thinking of Yi Jianlian's US agent, Dan Fagen.

    Yi Jianlian will depart China soon and to be in USA April to June, to start some intensive training and his adaptation to the American life and environment early.

    Not sure the Dream will be there in USA during that time frame. Normally, if I remember correctly, the Dream lives most of the time out of USA in Amman, Jordan, studying Arabic language and history. His extended stay in USA is normally July/August time frame for his "Big Men" clinic/training camps.

    So don't think Olajuwon will spend alot of time with Yi Jianlian, even if the whole thing could be realized as Dan Fagen currently planned.

    At least not as you said from April up till the draft.That ain't gonna happen.

    Even if the Dream can come over in April to June timeframe, the best we could hope for Yi Jianlian maybe some one-on-one drills, workouts, basic post-moves and some pointers/advices of how to be mentally strong, from the Dream to Yi Jianlian. That could just be a few hours, a half-day, or at best a 1 to 2 day session.

    But then that will already be the biggest fortune for Ah Lian for the rest of his basketball career.
