Agreed. Basically he has to be able to score out of the post, since ball-handling isn't as big of an issue there. He's done that for the CNT and at the club level, so maybe it will come as he gets used to the NBA...hopefully.
In general I've been surprised at how little "feel" he has for the game down low, and how that hasn't improved much over the season. In that way, CV is a good contrast for him...Charlie has pretty good instincts for avoiding defenders and getting his shot off. Yi still looks like a guy who has all the physical tools but just hasn't played basketball long enough to figure out the tricks of the trade. Fundamentals alone can't give you that.
