DOG • Zhou Qi

NBA ROLE: (RAW) TWO-WAY PIVOT

China’s Zhou Qi: a rare, 3&B prospect - Qi seems ideal for Mike D’Antoni’s system at some point; good rim runner, decent agility & quickness in the open court - able to get to spots and convert open triples; slight, though frame doesn’t detract from help side shot blocking & rotations; able to stay home on switches - has shown raw ability to hold own v. matchup “disadvantages”; slip scorer from deep? - Qi likes to fade back for triples; becoming more comfortable attacking closeouts - crucial for offensive repertoire; still growing into his own as a player; stretch 4/5, unit #2 Watch DOG potential?; HOU is a contender, it might be another year (or two) before Qi is a factor
