    I wouldnt be surprised to see Yi wins ROY. Im thinking Durant right now but hes a wildcard in the running.

    I defiently think Yi is capable. With Yi, we really dont know how good he is, he might come out and have a excellent season or he might come out and turnout to be a bust. If I were to pick other players besides Durant the other two would be Yi Jianlian and maybe Jeff Green...since he and Durant seems to be getting alotve touches. Im pretty positive Durant will take it home though. You might see somebody win by turning their team completely around, Conley and Oden might be candidates if so(although I think without Conley Memphis will make a big turnaround). But I dont see Conley or Oden coming out and dominating like how Durant will...

He's not exactly a great defender or rebounder (at least he won't be in the NBA, IMO). So the only talents he can show off are his offensive skills. But how many shots will he get behind Michael Redd, Maruice Williams (assuming he resigns), Charlie V, Charlie Bell, and Bogut? I think Yi will definitely get minutes because Milwaukee isn't exactly loaded with talent at the SF spot or the PF really for that matter. But how many shots is he gonna get? Barring any injuries this season the the Bucks' top players, I doubt Yi will get many touches unless the coach changes his gameplan to intentionally get Yi touches for marketing reasons.
