    <font size="3">THE NAME GAME: There hasn&rsquo;t been any confusion on the pronunciation of Yi &ndash; it rhymes with the letter E. But there has been some uncertainty about the pronunciation of Jianlian.</font><font size="3">On draft day on June 28, the media was informed Jianlian was pronounced TEE-an-LEE-an.</font><font size="3">In the Bucks&rsquo; media guide, however, the pronunciation of Jianlian is &ldquo;jee-AHN-lee-AHN.&rsquo;&rsquo;</font><font size="3">Now, I&rsquo;ve been told neither pronunciation is correct. Two of Yi&rsquo;s translators both insist Jianlian is pronounced &ldquo;gee-en-lee-en.&rsquo;&rsquo;</font></p>
