[quote name='GMJigga']Yi's scoring set compliments Kobe's, he'll be great working with Sheeds spot up jumper and Shelden's banging[/QUOTE]</p>
But how does Yi scoring at a 25.5 FG% help your team win games? </p>
[/QUOTE]</p>
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>

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.

You might not be familiar with the Lakers. Kobe doesn't score 100% of their points.</p>
The skill set for this guy already makes him a valuable asset, and he's only going to get better. The next Dirk with my 4th round pick? Sure why not.</p>
Also go back and read the posts I made when I actually selected him. I own the Denver Nuggets. Not the Jazz.</p>
