Here are some recent pics of him taken this summer: So yeah... He needs to bulk up if he wants to make it in this league

Who cares That guy is a top player in his league Yue isn't even a top player in China. Only reason we drafted him was because of "potential"
If anyone needs to bulk up in the league, it's this guy (Alex Ajinca): Besides, Yue doesn't look so skinny that he won't make it if he doesn't bulk up.

You said "He needs to bulk up if he wants to make it in this league" Which I don't think is true.
Yes it is because he has no offensive abilities at all. He can't shoot a jump shot, he isn't very fast, he isn't very good. He can't even see many minutes for the Chinese National Team If he doesn't bulk up, he's gonna get pushed around. Unlike Rudy, he doesn't have an offensive game to fall back on.

He's 6'9 and apparently he has "point guard" skills On paper, he seems like a good Phil Jackson player, but who knows. He wasn't even projected to be drafted on most mocks, so I was kind of surprised when we picked him up.
ya either way if he doesn't pan out all you guys wasted on him was a 2nd round pick, which based on stats don't produce quality players that stick around that often anyways. Thats kinda how I feel about Joel Freeland on Portland (even though he was #30). I have higher hopes for Petteri Koponen
yeah, i've seen him play. He's like Odom, one handed. His offensive game is limited to putting down his head and driving to the basket and finishing with his left. No jumper, no right hand. I will say that he looks like a good athlete for being 6'9', but that's about it. He'll never make the league
