Yao isnt dominant yet. The rule is you take a big man over a wing player, but obviously that doesnt apply if we're talking a level 2 big man vs. a level 1 wing player. If we're talking about a level 1 wing player (Tmac, Kobe) vs. a level 1 big man (TD, Shaq), you take the big man. Yao has yet to reach the dominant level of Shaq and TD, he is still at level 2.

Most general managers would take Yao over McGrady for the future, because he is really likely to become a level 1 dominant big man. I doubt a lot of general managers would have taken Yao over McGrady last season, and this upcoming season it would be a tossup, since Yao may begin to move up into level 1 a little bit.
