<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The way Team USA stars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James beamed about Chen Jianghua, you?d think China had won Monday's friendly between the two sides or at least lost a close game. Indeed, after the Americans? 119-73 victory, the 17-year-old point guard walked off the court with many admirers. "The point guard is pretty good," said Wade. "He ran the team pretty good and did a good job getting to the basket and a good job of finishing. http://www.fiba.com/pages/en/news/latest_n..._act_news=15033 NBADRAFT.NET PROFILE QUOTE Chen Jianghua Birthdate: 3/27/89-88 NBA Position: Point Guard Team: Guangdong Southern Tigers Ht: 6-1 Wt: 162 Hometown: Guongdong Providence NBA Comparison: Allen Iverson Strengths: A tremendously gifted athlete with exceptional creativity and flair for the game... His crossover is Iverson-like, also like Iverson makes the game look very easy ... Pushes the ball up the court tremendously well ... Has a great handle of the basketball ... His quickness is his greatest asset, and gives him incredible potential ... Has very good leaping ability as witnessed by his Slam Dunk title at the adidas Superstar Asia Camp ... Shoots the ball exceptionally well, and has 3 point range ... Passes the ball with very good timing and court vision ... A unique talent from China, previously no guards have even been close to this level of athlete ...If he is truly just 16 years of age, the sky is the limit for him ... He wants to improve and is coachable ... Weaknesses: Still very weak physically, he will need to improve his diet and workout regimen to enhance his potential in the NBA ... Tends to go for the spectacular sometimes when the easy play will do... Defensively he must learn to play with more intensity ... Added strength will help him a lot ... His passing can catch players off guard if they aren't prepared ... His release is a little unorthodox, but not too bad, just takes a little time to get rid of the ball ... His attitude rubs some the wrong way ... Has a reputation for being lazy .. His real age is in question, some feel he could be as old as 18, and if that's the case his physical development has less potential... Must get better with his ability to create shots for himself but with his quickness it should improve ... http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/chenjianghua.asp Youtube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Mx6WqNY10&NR "He's a tough player and like I said, they're a tough team." James was enamoured. "The guy can fly," said James. "I was impressed with his speed and dribbling." Chen played just 16 minutes but had six points, three assists and two steals. USA coach Mike Krzyzewski was so impressed, he cracked that Chen could be in his his college team, the Duke Blue Devils. "What are his grades like?" Krzyzewski asked, when asked what he thought of teen. "I wouldn?t mind having him at Duke." http://www.fiba.com/pages/en/news/latest_n..._act_news=15033</div>
Comparison to ai? I don't about that. But this guy seems to know what he's doing. He might be the next Yao ming just smaller and playing at pg. lol
He's an alright basketball player but needs to bulk up and play against some nba competition but China is developing into a decent basketball country.If you watch carefully at 1:56 in that youtube video you can clearly see the guy took like 5 steps and traveled and it never got called.
He looks pretty damn good..I don't remember him from the US game..He needs to bulk up alot if he wants to live up to his potential..
