Zhou Qi is a name Space City Scoop has had on their radar for over 2 seasons now. Last year Trey Oursler looked at Qi offering the following insight:
Overview
Zhou Qi is 7’1 center that played for the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, the CBA team with the highest payroll this season, and they were sucked out of the playoffs losing two games days before the season ended. Qi is 18-years-old and averages 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks a game against grown men, which he will see in the NBA. He has some interesting abilities on the court including:
- Fantastic passing out of the post
- Although he is only 220lbs (extremely skinny for his height), he can block shots with the best of them
- Solid ball handling
- Offensive game is polished, much like when Donatas Motiejunas came in and improved from working with Rockets’ staff
