The Washington Wizards acquire Yi Jianlian from the Nets

The Wizards have acquired 22-year old power forward Yi Jianlian from the Nets for 29-year old SG/SF Quinton Ross. Yi Jianlian is a player on the rise. He played in 52 games (51 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 31.8 minutes, 12.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game. He has now played in 179 games (152 starts) in his three years in the NBA and he has averaged 26.4 minutes, 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Ross played in 25 games (0 starts) for the Wizards last season and he averaged 10.4 minutes, 1.5 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. This is the second trade in the last week that the Wizards stole players from teams trying to clear cap space. I think Yi Jianlian will be the starting power forward for the Wizards in 2010-11.
