Should the Warriors draft Yi Jianlian if they could?
Yi is a natural 4 with good quickness and ballhandling skills for a 7 footer. He can also run the floor, grab rebounds, and have the range to shoot from beyond the arc. And unlike Yao, he's not a softy, this bad boy has a hell of a meanstreak and is pure nasty in competitions. I think if Yi drops to the Warriors pick, he would fit nicely into Nellie's system. And one other thing: Yi would be a marketing MONSTER with his good looks and sculpted physique! Esspecially in the Bay Area where there's huge Chinese and Asian communities.

I hope we do get him in the draft.
We would have to trade on draft night though cos i doubt he'd be available at 18 pick or whatever pick we have.

lmao @ good looks and sculpted physique, what are you his publicity agent?
No we shouldn't draft him, we don't need a 7 footer to shoot from outside we need a banger and he's not a banger despite your "hell of a meanstreak" tagline.

Yao Ming is not soft, and Yi will not be there when the Warriors pick. If he was they should definitely draft him.

Yeah that's what I'm been thinking too. How about Jackson + Pietrus + #18 pick to Boston for their #5?

You guys realize the "proof" we have of his skill is about the same proof we had that shawn bradley was worth a lottery pick right?
