WASHINGTON (AFP) - Number one draft choice Andrew Bogut of Australia and Chinese center Yao Ming are among up to 100 international players who will be on National Basketball Association clubs in the season that opens Tuesday.

Yao has become the most dominant center in the Western Conference with Shaquille O'Neal's departure to Miami and the Asian superstar has shown steady improvement and greater consistency with every season.Yao has become the most dominant center in the Western Conference with Shaquille O'Neal's departure to Miami and the Asian superstar has shown steady improvement and greater consistency with every season.

Yao averaged 18.3 points and 8.4 rebounds a game last season, then signed a five-year contract extension worth a reported 80.9 million dollars.

"Yao Ming has proven himself to be one of the league's elite centers," Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said.

"Since his first day here with the Rockets, Yao has dedicated himself to winning a championship."

The Rockets must get past the first round of the playoffs, although they were struggling simply to reach the playoffs before Yao's arrival.

"Our team is getting stronger," Yao said. "Everything is getting comfortable for me."

Yao and backcourt playmaker give the Rockets a strong inside-outside combination.

"I'm excited to know he'll be playing alongside Tracy McGrady for many years to come," Alexander said. "His rare combination of size, strength and shooting ability make him the perfect complement to Tracy's all-around game."
