ST. FRANCIS -- At the NBA pre-draft camp last June in Orlando, Fla., all potential draft prospects were administered a battery of physical tests.
All draft prospects, that is, except Yi Jianlian.
Yi, a highly-touted forward from China, opted to continue working out in California, thus becoming one of the first draft prospects to ever snub pre-draft camp physicals.
Now four months later, and now a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, Yi has yet to undergo all the tests usually given to rookies.
However, slowly but surely, the Bucks are accruing physical data on Yi, who was the sixth overall pick in the NBA draft. To wit:
- Yi weighs 246 pounds.
- Yi’s height is 6 feet, 11 inches without shoes. With shoes, Yi is 7-1/4, making him the tallest player on the Bucks’ roster. Bucks center Andrew Bogut is 7-0 in sneakers.
- Yi has a wing span of 7-3 ½. That’s ½-inch longer than Bogut’s.
- Yi has 3.4 percent body fat. Again, that is the best on the team. Michael Ruffin is second at 3.9.
“For a small guy, that’s really good,’’ Tim Wilson, the Bucks’ strength and conditioning coach, said of Yi’s body fat. “We’re happy to have players under 10 percent body fat.’’
Added Wilson on Yi: “He’s got a very good athletic body.’’
Wilson has yet to conduct any strength tests on Yi, but Wilson has established a weight-lifting regimen for Yi, who said he lifted about twice a week while playing last season for the Guandong Southern Tigers.
“We have him on a program where he’s going to lift every day when there’s not a game and not on Sunday,’’ Wilson said. “But we had a (preseason) gamer last Saturday night and he wanted to lift that day, so we lifted.
“He seems to like it. I think he knows how beneficial it (lifting) can be for him.’’
Yi concurred, saying, “I like it … I need it.’’
Yi then laughed and added, “I’m too skinny.’’
THE NAME GAME: There hasn’t been any confusion on the pronunciation of Yi – it rhymes with the letter E. But there has been some uncertainty about the pronunciation of Jianlian.
On draft day on June 28, the media was informed Jianlian was pronounced TEE-an-LEE-an.
In the Bucks’ media guide, however, the pronunciation of Jianlian is “jee-AHN-lee-AHN.’’
Now, I’ve been told neither pronunciation is correct. Two of Yi’s translators both insist Jianlian is pronounced “gee-en-lee-en.’’
LINEUP STILL NOT SET: Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak has yet to announce the starting lineup for Tuesday night’s preseason game against the Denver Nuggets at Green Bay.
However, during a scrimmage Monday at the Cousins Center, the first unit consisted of Mo Williams and Michael Redd at the guard spots, Desmond Mason and Yi at the forward spots and Bogut at center. Krystkowiak said only Redd, Bogut and Williams have guaranteed themselves starting spots for the season opener against Orlando on Oct. 31 at Orlando. “Those guys have earned the right to start,’’ Krystkowiak said.
Mason is battling Bobby Simmons for the starting small forward spot and Yi is battling Charlie Villanueva for the starting power forward spot.
ODDS AND ENDS: Bogut’s personal coach and trainer, Sinisa Markovic, flew back to Australia after spending about a month with Bogut. … More tidbits on Yi: Bucks equipment manager Dwayne Wilson said Yi’s shoe size is 17 and his warm-ups are 3XL. … Coaches from eight teams in Greece are spending four days observing Bucks’ practices. They had spent 10 days watching the Chicago Bulls work out. They plan to watch workouts at several colleges in the next couple of weeks as well, including Marquette University. … This will be Bogut’s second trip to Green Bay within the last month. He earlier took in a Packers’ game at Lambeau Field. … Speaking of football, Krystkowiak said his sports idol growing up in Montana was Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton. Added Krystkowiak, “I’m trying to get my wife (Jan) to name one of our daughters Payton.’’
