Zhou Qi = next Yao Ming?

[European NBA fan]

At a late, non-lottery pick in 2016? I'm on board. Go big (and frail, and underdeveloped, and obviously 2 years away from being 2 years away) or go home.

Chinese Bruno Caboclo? Yessir.

Agree 100 percent.
 
Actually he reminds of what we saw from Gobert before he entered the league.

For a late 1st to early 2nd?  I say Why not.  He's a 7'2 18 year old center. 

"As I profiled in the summer, Zhou Qi has become sort of a legendary prospect with his appearances in junior national tournaments over the last couple of years. But the 18-year-old is already starting to transform all that future promise into present performance as his first pro season in the Chinese league has been a very productive one. Xinjiang is contending for a postseason berth and Zhou has been part of the reason why."

For what it's worth, Shane Battier puts Yao Ming on LeBron's level as far as "playing with a superstar" type of players.
