    1. Yi played much better compare to previous years in FIBA.

    2. I don't believe Yi is 22. According to the photograph of his elementry school student ID card, he should be 26 now.

    I think remember a few articles that used the same elementary pic to argue for both ages. Why cant they just track down some classmates? I suppose even if they did we would still be confused...lots of contradicting info on the web.

    Anyways...I think Yi is just unlucky. Both the Bucks and Nets never really used him or played to his strengths since they both had bigmen already in Bogut and Lopez. Not to mention the guards he had to play with. It was always iso's for the guards and a few pick n pops for outside jumpers for Yi. Seems like coaches never really invested to develope him either. He did play well in Fiba and had stretches of good play in the NBA until he got injured a few times. Maybe the Wiz will use him better but I doubt that with Blatch, Arenas, and Wall.
