He's broken his foot twice in the last two years. What's more depressing is that even with Yao, the Chinese basketball team doesn't stand a chance against the international competition. With the drills they make their national team participate in, I don't see Yao's career lasting more than five more years. It's a damn shame, ain't it?
5. Tyson Chandler: He's a really good defensive post player, but Andrew flat did anything he wanted in their last meeting. You can clearly see that Tyson was overmatched, he said it himself that it was really tough to guard Andrew.
He doesn't have much of an offensive game. I've seen him hit a few hook shots here and there, but not consistently. Most of his points come from Chris Paul feeding him. I think he's reached his ceiling already. That shouldn't take anything away from him being of our best young centers, just ask chicago!!
6. As for Andrew, his game continues to grow and from the look of it, he can do pretty much everything else. So far, he defends the pick and roll the best out of the players on this least. He's the classic five, that plays with his back to the basket, can finish with either hand and his wingspan is just otherworldly. The way he responded to the criticism over the summer makes him even more surprising. If he continues to improve his game, he'll soon go from most promising to best center overall in the league.
