I think that anyone that says Yao and Wang can't play at an NBA level is fooling themselves(Rudy T. knows talent). Yao is 7'5". NBA GMs will draft 7'5" any day of the week, even if they are from Bumfuct, Egypt. Throw in the fact that Yao has coordination and the ability to learn and you WILL have a player. Yao is not ready to compete this year but next year he should be more prepared. Yao didn't grow up playing in the American or Euro systems and had no one to challenge and push him in China. Five years from now, Yao will be a top player in the NBA, depending on whether or not he gets to train in the US. Not being able to, may slow him down, as it has Wang.
