    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yi Won't Attend Program<div><span style="font-style: italic">Sep 13</span> - Bucks first-round draft choice Yi Jianlian will not attend the Rookie Transition Program offered to all first-year players by the National Basketball Association.

    An NBA spokesman confirmed that Yi would not attend the four-day program, which will be held Tuesday through Friday of next week in New York. </p>

    "It just didn't work out," Bucks general manager Larry Harris said. "Our intent is to get him there next year." Harris said there "are certainly a number of scenarios" for Yi's arrival in Milwaukee, and that nothing has been determined yet. An arrival date around Oct. 3 is still a possibility, Harris said.</p>

    Being a international basketplayer means therewere lots of series of games waiting for them,of course Yi gonna get great a lot of opportunity to make his skill get toanther next level.But in anther hand it could bringssome extra hurt while being on a match.YI just like kind of snak,deadly to the equal so as to himself( YI is sort of a guy who easyly to get hurt him arm that was his weakest part) so i doubt that wheather Bucks take a overbid chance to pick such a first-round draft choice.</p>

    Yi continues to cause problems for Bucks management. I guess this is somewhat excusable due to his over-seas play but he definitely should not be missing any of training camp. However, Harris took the risk and now the Bucks have to pay the consequences.
