considering his contract issues get cleared up.
What is his current contract situation, becuase drafting him at 19 and having him play at 19 in the NBA is a lot different then drafting him at 19 and having him start at 23 or 24. Does anyone know how much longer he's there? This was @ RealGM's wiretap:
Brazilian impresses Knicks
Added: 22nd May, 2002
Maybyner Hilário did more than just participate in a private workout for the New York Knicks yesterday… he impressed.
One of the exercises that the Knicks director of player personnel Sedric Toney asked the 6-10 19 year old to do was step out to the three point line, take two driving dribbles then dunk the ball. Hilário declined, instead opting to take one dribble before dunking before doing the same thing from each sideline.
"Nenê has a youthful exuberance," Layden said, using Hilário's Portuguese nickname. "He really has a huge upside. With that work ethic and enthusiasm, he's going to do well. For his size, he's got great quickness, he runs very fast, and he's a quick reactor. You could see why he's done well rebounding and blocking shots."
