    Yao was the number 1 pick. Let's not compare the two.

    Wouldn't mind giving him a roster spot if he agrees to do weekly interviews about the team's ceiling.

    Why should he do that's exactly?

    You severely underestimate Capela.

    Thanks, so good to watch after the ten thousandth Carmelo post. Liked the corny NY huckster, too, as hey bbball and this forum are entertainment.

    He wont get any minutes under DAntonio, so no contribution, as simple as that.

    Just saying the experts are not always correct.

    Yao as a rookie never shot 3 of 21
    Experts are not needed to figure out he's nowhere close to Yao

    Hard work, strength, stamina and fitness is what Zhou needs to concentrate on.

    Obviously. Of course.

    But by comparing Zhou to Yao, you're inferring that they are coming into the league with the same chance at success. That is simply not true. Yao was the number 1 pick, because he had the skill and physical tools which projected him as a franchise player.

    Zhou, while we are all rooting for him, does not have the physical tools in any capacity. Look at the kid. He's a string bean.

    When people talk about Zhou Qi -- they should be looking at John Henson, not Yao.

    Zhou's upside is a rotational player.

    Morey thought he was worth the pick, the 43rd in the second round. He's a crap shoot, in my opinion. Zhou is a classic maybe, maybe no kind of guy. I think the cat deserves a chance to show us what he can do before we pass judgement. Having said that, he's a stick and appears to have a long way to go.

    Thanks for telling me what I'm "inferring" to. Anything else you you want to tell me, that my mind is thinking? A sandwich is sounding pretty amazing right now. But you already knew I was thinking that. We are all so proud of you.
