Bucks finally meet with Yi

[ALong13]

The Milwaukee Bucks finally met with draft pick Yi Jianlian for the first time in Las Vegas at the NBA's Summer League on Friday.

Yi, Bucks' GM Larry Harris and coach Larry Krystkowiak met for about an hour at a hotel Thursday to get to know Yi and his family as they begin the process of trying to get him to sign with the team. Yi, playing for China, scored 23 points and grabbed four rebounds in 28 minutes of an 86-77 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. "I felt better about today's game," Yi said through an interpreter, after struggling in his last game. "It was a matter of becoming more familiar." The Bucks have a long way to go before seeing Yi in a Bucks' uniform, but tonight's efforts were a good first step.

Yea I see Yi in a Bucks uniform eventually, it may be a while, but it'll happen unless the Bucks get like a very good trade offer...

That trade isn't very likely to net them anything as good as Yi.
