Replace Yi with Zubac and I would definitely be good with that. Zubac apparently can shoot 3s too after all.

Smart move all around. Can't go wrong with this. He's probably already going to make the lakers millions just on this month's jersey sales.

It's good for the likes of DLo and Ingram to get more exposure too. Not just china, but countries where Calderon and Deng comes from. Playing for the Lakers is the only place where you'll get worldwide recognition.

If Yi somehow played up to that would any of us complain?

I don't think Sudan will turn out with big numbers for the Lakers or the NBA.

Jianlian was a lottery pick a few years ago. 7th overall I think.
