we need them to win DESPERATELY. IF we can somehow secure a second high pick I feel with correct execution and patience we can find 2 franchise players in the frontcourt.

I hate it when espn hypes up a kid like this but we end up seeing the
same 2 second game clip of him over and over again.Its been a year
since they started drooling over james and only now are we going to
get a chance to see him play in a full game.

Personally, I think any player younger than 20 should have to play at least one year in a developmental system, but that any player can be drafted. He could be 15 years old for all I care.

I think it's a disgrace there's a double standard that works against the non-U.S. players. If someone like Leon Smith can be drafted, then these guys should be eligible too.

But, they're young, there's plenty of time for them to become NBA players. It's not like they'll stop breathing if they don't get in this year. The NBA is desperate for elite centers. These guys sound promising.

Pretty soon ESPN will have to start showing European games at 3 in the morning or something.

I believe there is an NBA Channel coming out on DirectTv, in which case they'd probably show international games becuase all they show now is garbage. They should keep it to Classic games and player bios, I hate everything else.

Regardless, another top prospect should help the Knicks in the lotto.
