Tuesday's workout, which included two other players, gave the Sixers a look at things they say they didn't see while scouting him in games.

"Shooting the three-pointer, handling the basketball, seeing him run," King said. "We got to see him do the same testing we do with prospects, like shuttle runs and sprints."

Joining King at the workout were Tony DiLeo, the Sixers' senior vice president for basketball operations; coach Maurice Cheeks; and Courtney Witte, the director of player personnel.

Because of other media commitments, Yi wasn't able to sit for an interview with the Sixers until Tuesday night. When they talk with him, they might want to ask his real age. Yi is listed as 19, but several reports suggest he is a few years older.

What the Sixers know about Yi is that he can shoot and score. He averaged 24.9 points and 11.5 rebounds in 30.7 minutes per game for the Gundong Southern Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association last season.

After that, King remained coy when asked whether the Sixers think Yi will be there when they select at No. 12.

"Andre was supposed to be there and he was there," King said about Andre Iguodala, whom the Sixers drafted ninth in 2004.

King was asked how well Yi would fit in with the Sixers.

"He'd fit in well," King said. "There are about 12 guys who would fit in great with us."

King has maintained that there are 12 players in the draft whom the Sixers' brain trust really likes. By anybody's math, that means the team should get a player it is satisfied with.
