Alright I don't mean to stir up anything here, but Ming hitting the rookie wall a little earlier than other rookies this season is a distinct possibility. Think about it, he's already played in the World Championships, the Asian Games, and maybe other tournaments I can't think of right now. And now he's got an 82-game NBA season ahead of him, with NBA-style physicality and guys who will look to bang and beat him up. The Chinese league is just like the NCAA's, nowhere near the length of the pros. Plus you tack on all these extra tournaments he's playing in for China, and we might have a completely exhausted and ineffective Yao come February.
