With the sixth pick in this year's NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks earned the right to select whoever they deemed the best player available. That player was Yi Jianlian, the 7-foot Chinese forward who intrigued most scouts with his unique skill-set. The Bucks obviously feel he's a good fit for their system and will be a great addition to the franchise. Apparently Yi and his management don't agree. Yes we have another athlete going Eli Manning, as Yi and his handlers want to see him end up somewhere with a large Asian population, which would help him settle in and provide better endorsement opportunities. I guess they see Yao down in Houston with its booming Asian population and think a situation like that would be best for their guy. Because when I think Asian community, I think Houston Texas. Yi claimed he was "totally surprised" when he was taken by the Bucks, because they weren't even allowed access to his workouts. His agent, Zhao Gang, then went on to say they are looking at trade possibilities.
