It wouldn't be an NBA draft without the Warriors somewhere in the lottery between the picks of 9-12.  Next years draft class looks pretty deep and i'd be hesistant on draft YI considering whats been out there.  I'd definitely take him as a mid-late to first rounder (please god Warriors are in those slots... that means they're in the playoffs!).

I could have sworn that pic was him just grabbing a defensive rebound and then immediately jumping the length of the court doing an 1800 degree dunk putting the ball between his legs... 5 times.

He's very skilled in the Shaolin martial arts, you know.

With all this hype that this guy is getting plus his size, we wouldn't have a shot at it unless they somehow find a way to tank the season and end up with atleast a top 3 pick because this guy will not fall deep. I'm just tired of all these rookies we're babysitting/grooming. Why don't they just forget about Harrington (because of the 7.5 mil trade exception the pacers have to offer) and go after BONZI WELLS!!! lol This guy is a workhorse.

Boniz Wells played and behaved well at the end of a contract year.  This year, after he signs a fat long trem contract, expect more of the old Bonzi Wells to show up for work.

Thrashing and overpaying for flawed players isn't working.  The GM needs to be patient and if no good trade can be cut, go into 2006-7 with more-or-less the current roster.  Maybe a trade will open during the Fall.  

The 2007 draft isn't going to matter to a team that keeps thinking about tomorrow and doesn't take care of the today.
Talent shmalent.  
Stop screwing around: Play team defense, take charges, and penetrate and kick-out before jacking up threes.  

I'm not a fan of Yi but his size/skills (though raw) will be enough that teams will take the risk on him. Plus, all this hype he's getting from ESPN can only help his stock. Look at Barganani. Last year he wasn't expected to be a top 3 pick nevertheless the first pick in the draft but his size was too hard to overlook. No one was even talking about the guy. But anything can happen. Big men who can shoot and explode on offense don't come too often so when they're available teams are willing to take risks. i.e. Darko? lolz

tiago splitter, noah, and oden are all ranked higher. besides it would be the third time in three years we pick a center which is stupid mp2 and dun dun are going nowhere take a small forward like kevin durant.
