...Rockets center Yao Ming offered his own, typically generous, scouting report.
"He is very close to a player who is in the NBA like I would say Amare Stoudemire," Yao said. "Yi is taller. He is almost seven-foot. He has a very nice touch, very athletic. He has everything (to be) a great player...
Probably over the top but I watched part of the CBA finals first game and Yi has hops and looks 7 foot. Has a jumper too.
Draftexpress has him going #8. Profile: http://www.draftexpress.com/viewprofile.php?p=44
Looks like a 4 in the middle of the lottery that we could TRY to move up to get. |

Oh hell no.
Yi is 7', but he's no Stoudemire. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I don't see any comparison to Stoudemire from that highlight reel. He seems like more of a Dirk/KG/Bosh type. I've seen him play a couple time before and haven't really been impressed, but those highlights show he's got good skills and is fluid for his size. |

Yi dunks therefore Yao compares him to Amare.
I sure as hell hope Yao doesn't have any plans for a future in scouting. _________________ Stephon Marbury on Kobe: "He's the only person on 'dis earth that can do 'dat.

I haven't seen much of him other than a few videos. he seems to move pretty well for a guy his size. he's got pretty decent moves and ball handling also. |

he's just pumping up his countryman, he's not going to compare him to pau gasol and he probably thinks saying garnett is setting too high of an expectation. |

A more athletic paul gasol = KG.
He reminds me of KG...I was expecting more Bargiani or Nowitzki, but he actually has more of an inside game than those two. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

Yi Jianlin is definatley more like Pau Gasol, but then again the Suns will have a lottery pick and could possibly select Yi Jianlin who would then in turn play alongside Amare...has Yao predicted the future? |

His skills and size is similar to KG, but his play is more along the lines of gasol. |

ok so the prognostication is that he plays with the bal like a poor mans KG which is indeed an athletic Pau Gasol.
Tell me, who does he play defense like? if he plays d as well as KG or Amare, why in the hell is this dude not going number 3? |

Gasol. He's soft. Part of the reason why I'm not high on the kid. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
