Fantasy Analysis
Yi would be able to play his more natural wing small forward position in New Jersey, which could benefit him in the long run. He is still a very raw talent that has to adjust to the NBA game, but the Nets now figure to be a pedestrian Eastern Conference team looking to build their young talent which means Yi will be given every chance to succeed. Heading into the upcoming season, Yi should not be considered anything more than a No. 5 Fantasy forward with some mild upside. (Updated 06/26/2008).
