Hahah, according to this website he's going to be an allstar and have some quadruple double games:

sun yue profile

Sun Yue 411:
Position Point guard
Height 6 ft 9 in
Weight 205 lb
Born November 11/06/85
Hometown: Hebei, China
Team: Aoshen (Olmpian)
2nd round draft pick, 2007
Los Angeles Lakers

Stengths
Unusual height for his position, terrific athlete, excellent jumper and quickness ... With 6-9 height, he has the ability to play the point guard position ... Decent ball handling skills, talented passer, outstanding court vision, good at finding open teammates ... Very unselfish with pass first mentality, great fast break player and play-maker, accurate bounce passer ... Penetrates well with a good ability to attack the hoop, quick first step ... Takes advantage of being left handed catching opponents off guard ... Likes to dunk, can do windmill/360 dunks easily ... Can shoot anywhere inside the NBA 3-point line ... Nice shooting stroke, soft touch, high release points on his shot ... Can guard positions from 1 to 4 , taking advantage of his height and length to pressure his opponents to adjust their shooting rhythm ... Great lateral speed on defense ; good reflexes as well as leaping ability make him a good shot blocker ... He performs as a help defender and even a rebounder under the basket for his team. 2.5 blks,1.9 stls and 7 rebs per game, the numbers reflect his defensive contribution ... His versatility gives him a chance to get Quadruple-double statistics in games, granted it's the ABA.... Shows a great passion to win other than his stats ... In addition, his age is not in question.

Stengths
Physically weak like most young Chinese players ...His ball handling and ball protection need improvement for the NBA level ... As the main distributer (a team high 6.7 assists per game) , he usually saw the most pressure from their opponents, getting doubled sometimes. 4 Turnovers per game indicates that he should better learn to deal with tough defense ... He relies on his left hand too much , though he is making progress on his right handed ball handling skills ... To be a NBA player, his shooting skills still need work, less stability from downtown (39% FG, 25% 3pt FG ) Raw 1 on 1 skills ... Underdeveloped post skills, with his size learning to post up smaller wing players would be a big advantage for him ... Some concern about his ability to guard fast NBA guards ...


Of course.. according to that site he has strengths and alternately "strengths" as apposed to weaknesses

I found a youtube video of the predraft workout for Sun... supposedly he's bulkier than listed at 217 when they measure him on the video, hopefully he's bigger and stronger now. His shot looked ok compared to the bashing it takes and the clip shows the bricks too, so it's not youtube editing for homerism.

Kupchak said the Lakers saw Sun play this season and are optimistic he'll be on their 2009-10 roster.

Sun is playing for China's national team.

"He is a player that we are intrigued in," Kupchak said. "We think he has the talent to play at the NBA level."

thats good, since we drafted him and all

Return to Los Angeles Lakers
