Planning Ahead

If you're a Warriors fan it's never too early to start thinking about lottery picks, especially during such a loaded year.

Our friends over at Golden State of Mind have followed suit, lobbying for a selection of Chinese 7 footer Yi Jianlian--sure to be a fan favorite in the Bay Area, while actually displaying a foundation of solid mechanics (read: not Andris Biedrins and his 31% from the charity stripe).

For all the fans who actually know which city the Golden State Warriors call home, Yi represents another great reason to watch tonight's exhibition game (6:30pm PST, ESPN2) between the US and China.

Seeing US basketball re-establish dominance is all in good fun, too.


UPDATE (10:54 AM): SPOILER ALERT!


USA 119
China 73

Yi scores 14.
