    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Look around Staples Center on Tuesday night and you'll see an NBA-high six international players on the Toronto Raptors. Quietly the Lakers have moved up to second on that list – tied with Golden State, Phoenix and San Antonio – with five: Gasol, DJ Mbenga (Congo), Vladimir Radmanovic (Serbia and Montenegro), Ronny Turiaf (France) and Sasha Vujacic (Slovenia). An extremely intriguing Asian representative is en route, too, with 2007 second-round pick Sun Yue – dubbed "the Chinese Magic Johnson" – likely joining the Lakers next season.</div>

    This should be interesting. I'm not even sure if he'll even make our roster, but based on a couple of highlights I've seen, he is a pretty interesting player. He is 6'9 and can play point guard. He seems like a typical Phil Jackson guard. You know the Buss family are excited, think about the revenue they could generate if Yue makes the roster

    it'd be cool to finally be able to watch a fellow countryman play here for 82 games, regardless of whether he got minutes. That's the kind of revenue they will get from Chinese fans like myself. Although I shouldn't really talk considering I was born in Pasadena and raised here in Cali [​IMG]

    Yea it will be good for the Lakers to have Yue play many Chinese people will love to see him play and that will help the Lakers, plus Pau is already making hispanics go Yue will do the same.

    i've seen him play in live games .. he sucks .. i had high hopes for him, but after seeing him, he sucks .. he doesn't even start for the Chinese team.

    He can only go one way (his left), he has to put his head down and do so (meaning he makes up his mind before he does it), and he has no jump shot whatsoever. Imagine a Lamar that can't rebound, and shoots like Luke Walton. That's Yue.

    and the whole playing PG thing .. yeah he can .. just like Odom can .. but you dont really want them to, because they're not very good at it
