Yi Jianlian is confident he can be successful in his second stint in the NBA.

Yi spent five seasons in the NBA from 2007 until 2012 while playing for four teams. Yi has since played for Guangdong in China.

“I feel pressure,” Yi said after Friday's informal workout at the Lakers’ practice facility. “But I feel excited about that.”

Last season in China, Yi also averaged 20.4 points and 6.6 rebounds with Guangdong and shot 46.7 percent from 3-point range.

“I think I can still shoot the 3’s, space the floor,” said the 6-foot-11, 243-pound Yi, who averaged 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in his five-year NBA career. “I’m cool with playing the four or five.”

Yi could help the Lakers' frontcourt depth with his size at center and with his outside shooting at power forward.

“I think I can really fit on the team and his system,” Yi said. “I think I can play over here.”
