Comes across as being a solid kid, and lets face it, he's had to grow up pretty fast given his circumstances. The age issue still annoys me, for some reason, and it is surely something the scouts are looking at. Has to do with his development as a player, and how much you might expect him to improve, I guess. At 21/22 you are not as impressed with his physical characteristics, and you wonder why he is not more polished as a player. Whenever I read this kind of stuff I soften up my opposition to prospects I do not want the Knicks to take, and that goes for this story too. I still believe, though, that there's too much risk if you take this guy too early and bypass certain safe-bet players who are more ready to play. He is worth a late first if he drops, though, and I'd have no problem buying such a pick to take him. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind.
