What do you guys think about Hakeem Warrick from Syracuse, if Carmelo bolts he's sure to leave early too, this kid is about 6'8"-9" and has some major hops, also not to mention a good work ethic (stayed in the weight room in the off-season to gain 10 pounds of muscle), I believe he'd be a nice prospect to take over for Spree.

he looks like david wingate, ewing's old buddy

If Carmello leaves....and it is almost certian that he will, I don't think Warick would enter the draft. He is not developed fully enough to be taken in the lottery, and would be hurting himself by entering this year. Next year he might be a top 10 pick. I think he realizes this as well. Last summer he played against some of the Clipper players (Wilcox and Eli) and realized how much he must improve to compete at the NBA level.

That said, he will be an exciting player a couple years from now, and it would be nice for the Knicks to pick him up then.
