Gheorghe Mureşan part deux - doubt he goes high and I suspect he would do no better than manute bol in terms of career - yes, he will block shots, but he probably is too slow to play strong defense and rebound.

if the NBA changes it's rules to only play on a half court, then i'd be all for that idea.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I wish we could tank this year. I dont trust these 7 foot plus projects. We have a 7 foot project as it is.

I'll let you know next year after the first 10-15 games on whether to tank next year or not.

By tank do you mean lose 10 more games than we did this season?
Why tank when we can win 19 games and get the #7 or #8 pick consistently? Oh wait that must be the logic Isiah is using now. I say Tank, its not like this team is going to be much better. "If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just SUCK." Kenny Powers

That Hansborough dunk on him was awesome!
Seriously, at only 236 and he's 7-7? Big George was over 3 bills. Mark Eaton was 7-3, 275. Ewing was 7-0, 250. Mourning was 6-10, 260. This kid is undersized weight wise to play center. I guess at least his weight makes it easier on his knees. Hell, FYI, Paul Pierce is 6-7, 235. ~You can't run from who you are.~

c'mon, let's not get silly
4949 - after watching George play, all one can hope is that his body does not collapse from the unusual build. It is not a risk worth taking on a player who moves slower than an hourglass and makes Gheorghe Muresan look like Amare Stoudamire besides, "tanking" is never cool. never. ever. once a knick always a knick

He's 365lbs.
Also, with the exception of Yao, overly tall guys don't generally do all that great in the NBA anyway. -- the preceding post was brought to you by the letter K and the number 22.

Eh...I only draft this guy in the early 2nd round. This is a gamble the Knicks can take.
