Ok, I wanted to hold out long enough to talk about the draft, but at 11 games under with 23 games to go and back to back losses in winnable games, we can safely start to assume its over.

Meanwhile, this 6'10" 230 lb sophomore for Iowa St. has filled out and greatly improved his scoring and rebounding as a sophomore, coming in at just a shade under 20/10. He has a solid overall post game, a good jump hook, a nice face up jumper, good athleticism and hits the boards. He can work the pick and roll or play in the low post with more mobility than Zach Randolph. This might be just the kind of big man who can thrive in D'Antoni's offense, and he could be available anywhere form pick 8 to 15. Here's one to watch.

Another PF V. I like him reminds me of Randolph from last years draft. the Knicks need a Center The Knicks need to draft for need in this draft and a center would be the thing to get. If Mullens is available then the Knicks have to take him.

Dunno of Mullens is the guy- he seems a little stiff and he has a long way to develop. I'm not sure if what D'Antoni is looking for isn't a PF kind of player playing C. As long as the guy is 6'10-6'11 and creates some kind of presence inside that might be exactly what we need. I like Brackins offensive game...he has the kind of versatile offensive game up front to make him a huge scorer in this kind of offense.

Very interesting Des. Strangely, I've never even heard of this guy, I'm going to have make sure I check out an Iowa State game. Upon first glance, he looks like a pretty good prospect.

Forget about a PG, I think we need Tim Thomas back because our 3 point shooting is hurting.

I thought the Tim Thomas move was bad too. He knew his role and was content with it. Rebuilding and player development was the goal. Hughes basically puts the rebuilding process on the back burner. This is going to set the Knicks back another year or two.

He's skilled but he is on the skinny side. He's not a C if that is the question.
