As an advocate for more novelty in basketball I am very pleased at the news that the Knicks have signed point guard Sun Yue:
The Knicks, searching for more size in the backcourt, have signed Sun Yue, a 6-foot-9 point guard, to a partly guaranteed contract, his agent, Charles Bonsignore, said. Sun spent last season as a reserve for the Los Angeles Lakers, who drafted him in the second round in 2007.I'm not sure what kind of opportunity Sun will have to actually contribute on this season. The partially guaranteedness of his contract seems to be a good sign that he will at least make the opening-night roster.
His size, athleticism, and skills are reason enough for Sun Yue to earn a spot on your radar. He really has shown signs that he can play. I'm surprised that he has only popped up around these parts once before.
Oh, just for fun, here are some highlights from another one of my favorite Chinese players, Chen Jianghua:

I love basketball, I remember the days of Jordan, Pippen, Larry Johnson, Shawn Kemp, those were days where it was fun to watch it.
