He will go to the Bobcats or the Bucks.

yeah i'm not impressed. this CBA league is a joke in my oppinion. If a guy like Wang Zhi Zhi and the Bayi can win the championship 7 times... you know the competition level can't be that great. interesting to note that the Bayi are run by the Chinese millitary and won't employ foreign players.

honestly Yi is a very high risk pick top 5. this guy is extremely unproven against adequate competition. and he doesn't show the explosive atheticism that would make it OK to draft him so raw either. He's probably 3 years older than the government claims too. there are a handful of solid picks I would take ahead of him on my board.

I was just saying this a few days ago on my home board.

Supposedly, the Suns might be interested at #8 or so. My guess is, they're looking at Yi with their wallets as much as with their eyes. :rollingeyes:

Yi is not 29. The guy that is 29 is a former NBA player who returned to China. Yi is only 20.
