Defense was solid even when defending Nowitzki. Didn't commit more turnovers than expected from such a young player. Still, his passing is nowhere near Yao Ming's level."
Video of that dunk.

Yi is a COMPLETELY different player than Yao, he's much more of a skill/finesse player it seems to me. He looks much closer to Garnett than he does a center. I think he's a great pick and will be VERY good.
