Yi Jianlian surprised a lot of people Wednesday...22 points, 8 rebounds, four three pointers, after being out seven weeks. Yi, on good days, has to be seen as part of the Nets' "promising young core". But Al Iannazzone suggests other teams, including the Timberwolves, have "promising young cores" too...and better records. He compares the Nets' core trio to the Timberwolves' and finds the Nets' group wanting.
