The scout report written by Don Casey, the most famous scout in NBA, for Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's advantages are: firstly, his height and arm length are amazing. He is not only tall, but also fast. Although he is tall, he has good balance control, strong mobility and is not clumsy. Secondly, he is an excellent shooter. 15- 17 has a high shooting percentage from the foot to the basket, and can grab the frontcourt rebound and make a second shot at the critical moment, and it is difficult to be blocked.

I like shooting on the right wing. In addition to shooting, I can also surprise at the baseline and complete the dunk. Thirdly, I have good passing ability, but I still have some problems in handling the ball. Good defensive ability, but also very obedient to the coach's command.

Disadvantages are: the offensive means of players who encounter frontal defense are not rich enough, and the speed of offensive and defensive conversion after rebounding is not fast enough, which is somewhat unsuitable in the central area. Confrontation ability needs to be improved and strength training is needed. 82 regular-season games are a test for him.
