I think he's very similar to Durant. Both are inside-outside threats but both also need to beef up. Yi is probably a little more NBA-ready but he may still struggle with contact in the paint.
coming from his personal day workout in front of chosen NBA scouts teams like the Bulls, Golden State and a few sportswriters, Yi bench pressed 185 lbs for 15 reps, has a 33 inch stand still vert and a max 3 step vert of 37 inches, weighed 248 lbs and measured in 7 foot barefoot and 7'1.25 in shoes.
The Bucks called bluff on drafting Yi, but all sources indicate he will not report to the team as his agent and of course the Chinese gov't will not let him go to a team that has no significant Chinese population, I'd say the chances of Yi signign with the Bucks is very low. The Bucks will be forced to trade his rights as david Stern will not anger his Chinese masters.

HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY Cuz IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS reaLLY WORKS!!!!!
and of course comparing him to even a younger KG could be a stretch, but hes no less than any of the college prospects entering the NBA draft like Durant, Horford, brandan wright, etc. proabbly better than most of them
yeah, i agree this vid of his highlights sucks. But i know for a fact he has great shooting touch, pretty much anywhere from mid range and even threes. I've seen him play in the cba, and I know you can't compare it to nba, but nonetheless, he does have great shooting touch and shoots about 86% from the freethrow line
wow, what an athlete, I thought I was watching a genetically enhanced Chinese KG, dumbfounded by this vid, who is this guy and why is there any hype about him in the NBA draft?
arif, yi won't slide past 5th pick, now if atlanta passes on yi, look for bulls/phili try to move up to get Yi. ben gordon and some other players to memphis for the 4th pick and gasol could happen.
Hopefully Yi Jianlian will be available at pick 9 and if so I hope Paxson picks this kid up. Phenomenal footwork, tremendous speed, and excellent player around the basket.
okay really ya'll b4 i saw this i thot atlanta wud be foolish if they waste the number three pick on conley... now i'm certain thet if they do i'm moving out of georgia. if these fools dont pick this kid they are bunkers as in raving mad!!! this dude is almost as good as tim duncan. i'd even pick him over oden. seriously...
it seems like somebody cobbled together highlights from a bunch of other highlight reels and didn't bother to change the music. Nice collection of highlights though.
you have like 10 song in 9 minutes of this video. It goes from techno to ballets to pop to chinese song. This is like the best Yi video i have seen but seriously these songs are horrible.
Impressive. Maybe I'm gonna change my mind about Yi. Just maybe...

Joakim Noah is good, but he would be much better if he had a better jump shot and played with more touch.

Wow he easily could be the most athletic international big man to ever come into the league.
With that ball handling at 4:16 it looks like he could take any big man off the dribble.
