I think Ming is the real deal though. He is 7'5" and athletic. He has a decent weight of 280 without ever going on a strength program. Put him in a NBA weight/strengthening program and let him gain 20 lbs. and watch out!

Ming is naturally tall and not a by product of some hay-wired hormones as is the case with most people his height, which means he doesn’t have heath problems usually associated with extremely tall people.

He can put the ball on the floor and even makes tres. Scouts are very high on him and Yao was impressive in his limited play against the US Dream Team in the Olympic.

He will be a force in the NBA in the future, with emphasis on future. I think he is only around 20 years old and still has a way to go, but there's no doubt in my mind he's going first if China allows him into the draft.
