he just looks soft to me. maybe he trying to place a finesse game , but i think he needs to get aggresive and start knocking people around like shaq does.
how the hell can a guy 7 foot 6 inches only average 8.5 rebounds a game.
i'm 5'10" and i bet i can get 3.5 rebounds a game.

LMAO....your probably right, I think if you screw up in a game in China they put you in jail for a week. On a serious note I think Ming may still be a little overwhelmed by the "West" and the freedom; it seems he plays scared at times, not of other players but of Big Brother. Remember his Big Brother was alot worse than ours. I'm not even sure he can speak much Engish yet. I like him and hope he does well.
In my opinion, it is too early to declare whether Yao is a bust or not. He is still very young and still learning the NBA game. He does currently have some serious shortcomings, namely he does not know how to get position yet for rebounds and at 7'6" tall, should be able to use his body to work his way inside. Further, he is often out of position defensively and not quick enough to recover. On the plus side, when given an open look he has a decent and soft touch and he shoots free throws well. If anybody can teach him position and how to play inside both offensively and defensively, believe Jeff Van Gundy is more then capable. School is still out on him, but believe he will become a solid but not spectacular NBA center over time.
