Well, considering the "slow mindspeed" -> Ming is playing with this team for at least two years at international tourneys, how can he lack plan? Sure, some of this "got lost" feeling will go away, but he´s got alot to learn about this ...
About "he made the US change their game plan". Uhm well, sure he´s a great inside blocker vs. penetrating Pointies. He had one vs. Germany aswell. But such is Bradley. That´s not worth a 1st overall imho. Ming didn´t show any inside toughness - the fact that Ben Wallace and Antonio Davis were able to defend him successfully (as well as Femerling) adds to that.
There´s some media hype on him, sure, and players on a US national team are the last to deny him talent in interviews, but still ... from what i´ve seen he´s 2-3 years from beeing a factor, and he will never get close to top 5, likely not top 10 in the league imho.
