Chapter 127: Off-Season Madness

Before the start of the 2002 NBA Draft, Yao Ming arrived in the United States and completed what could be called a perfect workout in front of executives and scouts from 28 NBA teams.

Subsequently, the draft officially began.

After witnessing Yao Ming's flawless workout, the Houston Rockets didn't hesitate to pick him first overall.

After that, from the second to the ninth pick, there were no changes.

Then, with the tenth pick, which the Bucks had traded to the Wizards in the Yu Fei deal, the Wizards chose Jared Jeffries, dubbed "Yu Fei the Second" (Jared Jeffries SF/PF/C).

"He's taller than Frye, more athletic, and a stronger shooter," Wizards' assistant GM Rod Higgins said, "I wouldn't be surprised if he performs better than Frye in the NBA."

Yu Fei wouldn't be angry about such comments.
