NBA Draft - Yi Jianlian was picked 6th by the Bucks

The 2007 NBA Draft is currently underway, and the list of the top three picks is as follows: The Portland Trail Blazers selected Greg Oden with the first overall pick, the Seattle SuperSonics chose Kevin Durant with the second pick, and the Atlanta Hawks selected Al Horford with the third pick.

A few minutes ago, Yi Jianlian was selected sixth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks. Given that Yi Jianlian had earlier declined the Bucks' tryout invitation, clearly indicating his stance, it's highly possible that the Bucks picked Yi Jianlian at the sixth position to use him as trading chips. There are reasons to believe that follow-up trades might occur.

Another Chinese player, Sun Yue, has yet to have his draft position announced.
