Does anyone think Yi is destined for greatness?

Well, averaging 10 and 6 midway through his rookie season is a pretty good start, in only 28 mpg.
Greatness? He'll be a solid starter in the league and not a bust. Possibly even a 20 and 10 player if he works hard to improve. But I don't think he'll be a Hall of Famer or lead a team to a championship.
My guess is he tops out at around 16 and 9, possibly getting a few All-Star bids due to help from Chinese votes.

He hasn't shown anything but flashes of being good, and those have been far and few between from the games I've seen him player.
How in the world did you get him possibly being a Dirk, let alone a KG? lol
He's talking about potential. If you saw KG his rookie season (10.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg) or Dirk his rookie season (8.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg) I don't think you would've thought they would've been great. Yi has a long way (10.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg) to go but yes he has the potential to be great. But potential is nothing, execution is everything. I think Yi will be a very good player, but top 50? Probably not, but who knows.

I think he is definatly a close 3rd in his draft class. He may end up 2nd. Yi and Bogut will be the Bucks franchise players for the next several years. If he gets more confidence on the court, and develops a tougher/rougher attitude, he will be a force with his size and athletism, along with his shooting skills.
