Furkan had 9 pts, 7 rbs and 4 asists in 20 mins in his last Euroleague game. Not bad for a 17 year old kid.

This guys gonna be good, 90 grade or better.. for realz , remember the name (Pronounced Joe Chee), this is a story that being vastly under-reported, and seems kinda Chinese. I really really hope they're not lying about his age ('96), because it'd be 100x worse than the Danny Almonte story, dudes been obliterating these U16 and U18 tournaments for quite some time. He looks young for his age though, and he's Very tall 7'1-7'2 right now, and he could certainly still be growing.
Qi will need to play Center, so he wont be ready for some time, he needs to add at least 15lbs, not sure if hes really 215 right now, he's really one of the skinniest players i can remember, It looks like hes barely 200 lbs, he's probably in the 190's.
this prospect threw me for a loop, once i saw him dribbling the ball in the open court, shooting and running, I knew i had to watch everything.
I know ill be the only one on this ship, but id take him over Guven, no questions asked. Theyre gonna dub him the future of Chinese basketball / The next Yao Ming, hes a certain 1st rounder.
Zhou Qi will be a cash cow, for whomever drafts him, his presence alone will put millions of extra eyes on the team. The funny thing is he might end up really good, and really tough to stop in the paint, hes got plenty of advanced post moves already, hes got shooting touch, he blocks shots, hes got nice coordination for a 7'2 18 year old, his wingspan is massive, in the 7'5" range.
this dude puts up insane stats, hes really quite gifted and makes things look easy. In his first 3 games this season in the CBA his averages are the following;
29mpg, 14/16 fg's (87.5%), 14/20 ft's (70%), 9 rpg, 1.7 asts. 3 blks, 1 stl.

great quickness / anticipation for a 7 footer
Illimane Diop will be drafted in the first round this year, I have no doubts about that. hes a year older than Qi, and 2 years ago Qi dropped 20 15with 3 blocks on him in the championship game of the U17 world tourney. the full games on youtube, its damn interesting, Qi has a chance to shoot some wicked efficient %'s. He's got a great chance to develop some devastating go-to moves.

Damn, that looked impressive! His handle, his mobility, his touch, his up and under! They look great for a big man. Is he declaring for 2015? If he's 7'2'' and 215 he needs to add more than 15 pounds. 35 is more like it.

He could actually declare this year, I dont think we see many '96 born players in this draft though, these draftee's are basically the age of the youngins from last year. If i was his advisor id tell him to declare, no way would he fall outa the first, If he turns out to be good the ramifications are well worth the gamble.
Qi's salary is unlisted, from what i can understand from translated articles, the reason his salary is unlisted is because they dont want to piss off the vets, so id imagine hes quite comfortable in the CBA and cant be in a rush to get to the league.
This seems like a big deal (in china) that's being underreported(here), Im sure they have some plan to hype the hell out of this kid, when hes ready.
It looks like hes about to stomp on the CBA this year, which will certainly push the envelope. He's even skinnier than Porzingis was when i first saw him, but Kristaps really did go from twig status, to not that bad, in under a year, Qi can do the same hopefully but I cant presume he's as driven as Porzi.
If theyre lying about his age, he was born in September 1992.. (which suuuuuuucks. I'm believing them for now though.)

5.4 blocks per game in this tournament. he shot 79% from the line too, on volume attempts.
