Yi Jianlian
C/PF/SF
7'0"
230lbs
China(21 years old)
B- C C+ C C+ A
Strengths:
Jianlian is a highly intriguing prospect, a seven footer who has a small forwards skill set? Yi is expected to go mid to high lotto. Reminds some of Pau Gasol when he first came over except with more of a Mehmet Okur type offensive game, Yi is completely comfortable up to 18 - 20 feet away from the basket.
Weaknesses:
Still Raw, there is some concern as to what position Yi will play in the UOSL: He lacks the upper body strength and the back to the basket moves at power forward and is a bit long and rangy for the three Jianlian a habit of putting the ball on the floor to achieve rhythm instead of keeping the ball high away from opposing guards Not the greatest defender, lacks the shear strength to go against big time post scorers.
Status: Declared
