<div class="quote_poster">Run BJM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Its a big deal to the teams though because its like picking between a college senior or a college freshman. If you take a freshman you know he hasn't even scratched the surface of his potential yet, if you're taking a senior then the guy may be close to done developing and have a lower ceiling.</div> Yeah I know, but either way, it benefits the Bucks. They're going to play him no matter what his age is. What teams have seen in draft workouts and in the CBA, is what the skills and talent they see from their eyes, not from their age. I agree there's a huge difference from being 19 and 22, but I'm saying is like, what difference does that make? If he's 19, then good, he's just going to be that much better? The Bucks are still going to play him. If he's 22, even better, just shows that he's a lot more mature, he knows that much more about that game than he did 3 years ago.
Looking at someone isn't always the best way to base someones age. Look at Oden. Dude looks older than my grandma.

I can't believe there is so much hype surrounding this, and that it is not clear. How on earth can you have a question hanging over your head about your age?? Seems nuts to me!!!

Or cant they just check Yi's birth certificate, if they even have them in China? I think the one and only way to find out Yi's age would be for him to undergo tests which can prove his real age (Or roughly his age atleast). Because Yi and his agents have obviously lied about his age.

It seems like you're sure of this, if so, you better have definitive proof. They do have birth certificates, but they say he's 19 (as already mentioend in the thread), but they can be tampered with. IMO, he's either 19 or 22 or in between, and it doesn't really bother me.

But there are some rumours going around like his school ID card, the agegroups he played back in China and stuff.

<div class="quote_poster">Butter Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He should be banished from the NBA for lying. Just my 2 cents.</div> They cannot prove he is lying. Im sick of this now. Yi Jianlian and his agents are absolute sooks who need to confront this situation here. HE SHOULD JUST BE HAPPY TO BE PLAYING IN THE NBA! ROOKIES DONT HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT TEAM THEY GO TO, THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE DRAFT! YI JIANLIAN SHOULD JUST PLAY FOR THE BUCKS UNTIL HE ESTABLISHES HIMSELF AS A GOOD PLAYER, THEN HE CAN DEMAND TRADES! YI JIANLIAN AND YOUR AGENTS, GROW UP! I rest my case
