A lot of columnists make this mistake too, but I'd hope that Mavs fans would manage to get their own player straight. Wang ZhiZhi is NOT 7-7. He is 7-1 and his game is likely to be a lot closer to Dirk's sf versatility than to Bradley's. A lot of people seem to confuse him with Yao Ming--who is 7-6 and will play center if he ever comes to the US--but not for the Mavericks, because he is will likely go top 5 in the lottery which we will not see again for a long time to come.
