I know what you’re thinking after the Bucks picked Yi Jianlian at the #6 spot. It’s like a fish out of water. As this article describes the reaction from Yi, his agent, and the Bucks, there are only 27,500 Asian-Americans in Milwaukee. I feel kind of sorry for him that he’s not going to get to play in the big Asian-American markets he preferred.

At least this Thursday article on Time.com gives him the visibility you expect he will continue to get, regardless of where he plays.
