Why do you hate Yi?

[Tang_Man]

Tang, why do you always compare Yi to Chinese players when his game is completely different than theirs?

I'll compare Yi with whomever I feel like comparing him to. What's it to you?

There's one thing I will agree with you though. Listening to your description and watching those youtube clips convinced me that Brendan Wright is going to be better Hakeem as early as next season. He's gain 20 lbs now hey? With all those post skills and an extra 20 lbs, look out Dwight Howard and Yao Ming.

St. Nick hates "skinny PF's".

Enjoy Randolph/Wright St. Nick!

I hate PF's that have no skills to play in the post.

BTW: Brandan Wright has gained 20 lb this offseason* and has a world of skills in the post compared to Yi. He is also a more fluid athlete, longer, quicker, has better basketball IQ, a more refined game, and plays with aggressiveness and assertiveness. Yi is a better jump shooter though

If you need to see the skills of Wright for yourself, then go ahead....

PS> Anthony Randolph is a small forward.

As a Warriors fans who have also watched plenty of Yi last season, I can honestly tell you that Yi has shown far more productivity than Brandan Wright. I won't say Wright definitely has "better post game", because all he has shown was a couple of nice flicks here or there and he usually only excelled in open-court situation. We, the Warriors fans, looked at Wright with colored-glasses, because he played too little for us to actually criticize him, and naturally we wanted to believe Wright's as ready as he's shown in his limited actions.

Yi has tons of upsides like Wright, but he's more of a sure thing to me compared to Wright.

Brandan Wright is quicker, more fluid than Yi? I'd hope so considering he's 4 inches short and about 35lbs lighter. There are PLENTY of great athletes similar to Wright in size, i.e. Tyrus Thomas, Stromile Swift, Rudy Gay, Anthony Randolph, Travis Outlaw, Kevin Durant etc. How many guys of 7 feet, 250lbs run the floor as well as Yi does?

Dude, criticise Yi where he deserves criticism. I.e. weak hands, poor passing skills, poor handles, etc.

Sweet deal man, gain 5-10 more pounds and he will weight what Yi does.

Save your youtube clips, they can make anyone seem a star.

And as for Randolph, I hope you enjoy turnovers.

Okanoho, your welcome on the Bucks board anytime man.

[kamaze]

bc he got to carry the torch and I didn't

1.Youre right the fact that we lost RJ who was by far my (and probably a good majority of this board's) favourite player, RJ was the heart and soul of this team he didnt want to go he wanted to be a part of the rebuilding process, instead Thorn decided to ungratefully trade him for a package thats WAAAAAAAAAAAY lower than his overall value.

2.He has soft bust written all over him seriously Ive seen nothing so far that makes me think that he's anything special.

3.He's sooo damn cocky seriously you get drafted in the NBA be grateful and STFU you have no right to demand a trade.

Of course if he actually develops into a great player all this hate will dissapear in a second and I'll start a "10 reasons why Yi is awesome thread"

Its no the problem of Yi, he is just a player.
To play in NBA is his dream, the issue of the workout before the 2007 draft is 100% caused by the management team, who naturally paid more attention to business factors.

That is the whole story.

i bet St Nick found more flaws in Yi's game in yesterday's presscon huh? lolerz
