you know when the experts say he has all the tools to be great, and what he lacks can easily be taught...well, I think that is exactly why he was the #1 pick. From the U.S. game alone, I think Ming proved he was worthy of #1 status. Afterall, who else in this class could have altered the U.S. offense the way Ming did (i.e., blocking 6 shots and changing a host of others), while forcing double-teams and displaying a fluid and easy scoring ability? He will be inconsistent for a while, but the Rockets are betting that, in time, he will be well worth the #1 pick.
