Does Memphis regret passing on Yi Jianlian for Mike Conley?

Yi will be nice, but with Warrick, Darko, Gay, Miller (and Pau at the time) playing the 3/4 slot, it made sense to grab Conley(even with 3 other pgs).

Can someone please tell me when Conley is expected to come back? After the All-Star break?

I am not either Bucks fans or Grizz fan, I just want to address this topic that I think the Grizz did a right decision so far because Conley is solid.

Yi will be a decent player, but I dont see him being a franchise type of player. He's getting 9.6ppg & 5.8rpg in 27mpg. I know he's just a rookie, but I dont see him being a #1 goto kinda player. But that doesnt really matter since Michael Redd is. Yi seems like a good sidekick and in Milwaukee's case its a good thing.

Conley on the other hand will be downright filthy is he can just stay healthy. Conley will most likely be the better pro IMHO. Either way you look at it though Memphis is gonna have a pretty darn good team in a few years.

Darko is a good young big at the C position who just needs PT and some TLC.

Gay is a fantastic talent at the SF position. He should be an all star for years to come.

Conley has lots of upside and good court vision IMO.

The Grizz are gonna have what looks like to be a pick in the lottery between 1-5 and if they can pick up a stud like Gordon, Rose, or Beasley they will be set.
