    I wouldn't be surprised if Duop could speak some Mandarin having played there. At least basketball Mandarin..that'd help out the kid a lot.Pretty nice of Duop to recommend his own replacement.

    IMG_5435.png Apparently we could have had the NOP/MIL pick. Ugh, that stinks.

    I didn't realize he could shoot with his left - a potent weapon.

    I mean, he's kind of got a point:

    Of course, it's kind of interesting that he's already a lot more measured in his criticism than he was at first. Worried that he'll be shown up?

    No one should be excited about the pick. It was a waste and we will all rightfully laugh at it.

    I think Joe went along with Mike and his scouts on this one. And getting an unprotected first was significant. Maybe he wants to package Yang to the nets?
    I can see Ainge trying to be his as he knows The Wiz wanted him.

    Which part are you referring to? The competition? Sure it sucked. But at 19, does it matter? I mean, I wanted Coward, and his competition was even worse.

    Also: I get the feeling the CBA is kind of ratball and the US players who go there are just allowed to run riot, so it's unlikely to be a good showcase for a big guy.
