| Chinese player Yi Jianlian, a forward from Guangdong Southern Tigers, presents the press conference of 2007 NBA Draft, New York, June 27, 2007. The Draft will be held on June 28, 2007 at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City. As the first Chinese player attends the Draft, Yi is generally expected to be a lottery pick, as several draft sites list him in the top 10 of their mock drafts. Yi is, according to the NBA prospect profile website, "an athletic power forward with excellent quickness and jumping ability; has a good mid-range jumper and a nice drop step in the low post; has very good hands."
