hes in a rather stickly legal problem in china and basically the goverment of china owns his playing rights and may not work out a deal with the u.s. to let him play. houston would be crazy to use their first overall pick to select a player that isnt even allowed to play here. chances are, he is not even drafted, and even if he is, that does not mean he will be available to play. keep that in mind when forming your mock drafts...

    lol, man you need to watch the news cause that is old news already updated, U.S. has already been making deals with china and right now the only problems there might be is with mingh being able to play in the rockets training camp cause china wants him to finish off thier national league before he comes over here. Yao has already had a work out with the rockets and will most likely go to them.

    I don't think Yao Ming will be the #1 pick. Jared Jeffries (F, Indiana) will be!! JK, JK. LOL!! He is my favorite player in the draft. Hopefully he will be #1, but I highly doubt it.

    their still talking in china and the rockets gave 48 hrs to china to make up their mind. if they cant get wang, they will most likely trade to get a lower draft pick or they might draft jay williams and screw the bulls. hehe. image

    Yao Ming, 21, Center, China
    The deal is essentially done and he's set to be the overall No. 1 pick -- a first for a foreign pro.

    According to the NBA Draft 2002 Page on ESPN.com

    I thought he was 22 years old? ming is another shawn bradley, but asian.

    The guy got bust written all over him. Sam bowie, manute bol, ralph sampson, shawn bradley, yao ming?

    cmon now

    Go with wilcox or jwill for the love of god~!~! francis and jwill in the backcourt would get penetration up the a%%.

    i got to agree with nbaologist
    sh!t seroiusly the man aint proven anything yet but for all i know i could eat these words come november
    but right now i dont think hes proven anything in america just cuz he can dominate in china where hes a living giant dont mean jack sh!t in the US. but i dont like the rockets anyways so i say go ahead and draft him it dont mean anything to me. but ill probably be eatin these words in due time. but as for my first draft pick id take jay and with my second round pick kei madison
    holla
