Ming Yao has been a pretty substantial letdown


Disagree. He's been a multi time All Star. and has been All NBA when he's healthy. When healthy, top 10 player in the league.

Greg Oden better pick for that. Considering he's played 80 of a possible 360 games, and has never averaged a double double.


As for football. How about Maurice Clarett? His freshman year Ohio St. hype was INSANE. and then he fricked it up, got drafted in the 4th round and barely even played a game in the League.

the asian voting block helped that a lot

he has made 2nd team twice and 3rd team three times in his 11-year NBA career

i'm saying that considering that he was supposed to be a revolutionary type of players with his size and agility, he has been a letdown
