Yi Jianlian, a power forward from China, shakes hands with NBA chief David Stern after being drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks on June 29, 2007. [Xinhua] Yi was picked 6th by the Milwakee bucks after much speculation that he would fall lower in the first round. He had earlier showed signs of not wanting to get drafted by the Bucks with he's agent maneuvering to shake off the Bucks. However, tonight he was picked 6th that very team. Upon farther inspection the Bucks might not be a bad place for the young Chinese power forward to reach his potential. Albeit Milwakee is far away from any Chinatowns, it has developed some great new talents and is looking forward to great expectations with Yi. Milwakee has a solid young team with a great international center Andew Bogut and one of the best shooters in the league in Michael Redd. Yi is exactly what they've been looking for: a high energy, athletic forward to compliment Bogut and Redd.
