he was supposed to be another Yao Ming kind of player. But you know how foriegn picks are a hit or miss, i think he might have it but last season was not promising
The only possible comparison I can think of between Yao Ming and Yi is that they're both Chinese and tall. They don't play like the other at all. Saying he's another Yao Ming type of player makes no sense. He's a 'foreign kid' but he has a lot of potential, he won rookie of the month in either November or December I forget but when he was on and not hurt he was averaging like 12 and 6. He got hurt in the end of the year but he might turn out to be a great player.
alright then, i dont know much about him lol but he might have had a better year without the injury
