Yi

With the #6 pick in the 2007 of the NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Yi Jianlian.

That was a good call.

While having Villanueva, Bogut, and Yi on the court at the same time could be a decent force, they're running into some major problems. According to ESPN, Yi's agent sent out a list of "acceptable teams" that could draft Yi. Apparently he only wants to go to teams that are in cities that feature large Chinese populations.

That's nice.

Maybe I just don't get it, but where does he get the power to say what teams can draft him? There are tons of players who wind up stuck in shitty situations. Who the hell wants to wind up in Boston? New York? Who the hell wants to be the center that backs up Ben Wallace or the Guard that backs up Steve Nash? And I'm sure Bogut, the guy who lived in Australia, was thrilled about going to somewhere with SNOW. Just because you're a 6'11", "I'm faster than Yao" package doesn't mean you get any more leverage than any other player in the league. Suck it up and play for who the hell drafts you. I'd love to see him play with the Bucks, but if he's going to be this big of a bitch about it, I hope he winds up sucking and riding the bench.
