Next NBA Big Man to come from the Far East?

April 20, 2005 at 11:05AM View BBCode

Chinese center Sun Ming Ming will enter the NBA Draft this June. He is almost 7'9", officially he is listed at 7-foot-8 3/4. He is said to be very raw but if a team willing to wait on him to develop takes him they could have a monster on their hands.

If Sun is picked in the June NBA draft, his agent Charles Bonsignore hopes he'll go to a team willing to develop Sun's skills and not immediately expect him to be the next Yao Ming


Yao really isn't much of anything yet other than a really tall dude...

Yao = nothing?

ha ha ha...

Name me 5 centers who are better than Ming. I'll give you a start.

1. Shaq

Good luck on the other 4.

I'm not saying he's #2 but he's got to be considered #2-#6. Which means there are 25 teams that would LOOOOVE to have him.

7'9"?

Damn, Bradley was 7'7" and was the most unathletic player I've ever seen and he could still compete. On height alone Ming could be a good player. Now, if he can use his body to his advantage and box out, he will be dominant.

Georghe Muresean or however you spell it is still the last man to shoot better than 60% from the field. He was a horrible athlete... but he was 7'7" and that is one thing you can't coach.
