Qi is nicknamed “The Big Devil King” (occasionally cited as just “The Big Devil”), and his 7′ 1.25″ frame (without shoes) with a 7′ 7.75″ wingspan help explain the nickname. Draft Express currently has him at number 26, and there seems to be hype building around the unique talent.
Zhou Qi was able to use that length to lead the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) in blocks by a significant margin. He was the only player to average more than 2 blocks per game, totaling 3.1 blocks per game.
The averages (from RealGM) for Zhou Qi look fantastic: 15.
