WASHINGTON - Chinese rookie Yi Jianlian will be an all-star in the National Basketball Association, said Milwaukee Bucks general manager Larry Harris.
Milwaukee Bucks Yi Jianlian (R) of China shoots the ball over Toronto Raptors Anthony Parker during the first half of their NBA basketball game in Toronto, January 25, 2008. [Agencies] The Milwaukee newspaper Journal Sentinel said on Saturday that Harris is glad that the Bucks were able to land the 7-foot rookie from China in the June 2007 draft, with the sixth overall pick.
Yi, who will face off against countryman Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets at the Bradley Center in one week, has been in the Bucks' starting lineup for all 44 games this season.
"I've seen progress in every part of his game," Harris said. "I'm not so worried about him missing shots, because you know what, they all still look like they're going in. They're all within his rhythm and range.
"He's expanding his game. I like the fact that he's aggressive taking it to the basket. I like the fact that he's offensive rebounding and trying to go up there. The strength factor and conditioning and getting used to 17 games in a month, that just comes with experience."
When Yi was playing for the Guangdong Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association, he had fewer games and much more practice time than he does in the NBA. He has admitted he is adjusting to the rigors of the schedule and travel, yet he said he does not feel tired.
