How can you take anything that Chad Ford says seriously? He just latches on to a foreign big man every single year. The stuff about Yi's "elbow finishing at the rim every time" is ridiculous. His videos are all over youtube, and while it's clear he's more athletic than you would think at first glance, he's not exactly jumping out of the gym. And don't ever go to nbadraft.net for in depth scouting, I mean, just read the contradiction's on Yi's "profile". Thumbs up, thanks for that hard work fellas.
is funny though. "EEEEN JOOOR FACE PAU GASOL". While I am a bit skeptical on how Chad chooses to incorporate quotes into his pieces, the gushing is hardly just from him. I wouldn't be shocked to see scouts and GM's legitimately excited about him to the point where they'd spend a high lottery pick on him. And at least he SEES this guy play instead of a lot of other "draft experts" who offer very little insight and nuggets such as "well, I"ve never seen him play..."
