David Lee was a good pick. He was tops on my radar. The only thing I'd fear for him is that he might not have good stats, or have ocnsidered a good year if idiot Isiah benches him in favor of the two stooges. </p>
 
Denver's geographical position in the United States has also played a role in Denver's notable Asian population. While not as famous as the communtities of San Francisco's "Chinatown", Los Angeles' "Little Tokyo", or Seattle's "International District", Denver's considerable population of Japanese Americans is considered a vital part of the city. In the northeast part of Denver, Sakura Square was founded in 1944 by formerly-interned Japanese people migrating from the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California. Nicknamed "Tiny" or "Little Tokyo" by Denverites, the community plays host to several public markets and restaurants indicative of Japanese culture (unlike Seattle, or San Francisco which each have one notable market). The city-wide celebrations of Chinese New Year have attracted many tourists annually, and generate a boom in Sakuru Square's economy.</p>

1) Yi is chinese.</p>

2) While I do not think this ideal is right... </p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chinese kids can be forgiven for thinking Japan is a nation of "devils," a slur used without embarrassment in polite Chinese society. They were raised to feel that way, and not just through cartoons. Starting in elementary school children learn reading, writing and the "Education in National Humiliation." This last curriculum teaches that Japanese "bandits" brutalized China throughout the 1930s and would do so today given half a chance. Although European colonial powers receive their share of censure, the main goal is keeping memories of Japanese conquest fresh. Thousands of students each day, for instance, take class trips to the Anti-Japanese War Museum in Beijing to view grainy photos of war atrocities&mdash;women raped and disemboweled, corpses of children stacked like cordwood. As one 15-year-old girl in a blue and yellow school uniform, Ji Jilan, emerged from a recent visit to the gallery, she told a TIME correspondent: "After seeing this, I hate Japanese more than ever."</div></p>

Jason Terry is better than about 20 guys who were already selected.</p>

This is one bizarro draft for him to last so long.</p>

And he is much better than TJ Ford, BTW. </p>

Yep, and better than Bibby as well. (imo)</p>
 
Denver's strong asian population will welcome the next Yao.</p>

Kobe Yi Shelden and Rasheed work great together, are you serious?</p>
 
But that Shelden pick will forever haunt you. And Yi should really be your back up pf. Save that sf spot for an actual sf.
 
I am looking to trade for another 4th or high 5th round pick.</p>

Send me a PM and name your price.</p>

Now, on to my pick...</p>
 
great pick in Mo Williams, he was someone I traded up to get but there is still another PG out there that would be perfect for my team IMO</p>
 
Yi's scoring set compliments Kobe's, he'll be great working with Sheeds spot up jumper and Shelden's banging
 
I was going to pick Terry, but Mo Williams is a nice consolation prize.

Shelden will get some rebounds and play defense, but you have no post threat. Kobe, Sheed, and Yi are all perimeter orientated and dont pass the ball.</p>
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GMJigga)</div><div class='quotemain'>Yi's scoring set compliments Kobe's, he'll be great working with Sheeds spot up jumper and Shelden's banging</div></p>

But how does Yi scoring at a 25.5 FG% help your team win games? </p>

Does Durant shooting 33% help your team win games?</p>
 
I would have taken Yi with my 13th rounder.

The same way that a math book helps you understand basketball: </p>

You have Kobe on your team.</p>

Even if you took that number to THREE decimal places that doesn't change the fact that it was with Yi's first game with NBA competition, he isn't my first scoring option, and he doesn't have to be my 2nd scoring option either.</p>

</p>

And you did take Biedrins with the 38th overall</p>

</div></p>

But wouldn't it serve better to have a role player who plays better defense, rebounds, etc. if he is just a role player, and your not going to be seeking Yi's scoring talents (if he has those even) when he has shown to be a horrible defender? </p>

Not to mention he probably wouldn't play in Utah.</p>
 
Keep making picks guys! Keep going. If I come up tommorow, I will probably hold up the draft 4 hours or so.... so keep going!

Cool, I guess he'll sit out whenever he comes to play my team!</p>

I didn't have a higher pick. Not my fault.</p>
