We might have the vets who could counsel him, and as you say, Shawne W. might be a good role model for him.
With these 10 day contracts I can't see why you wouldn't take a chance on a guy like this if you thought he could help and you had the leadership on your team which could control him. The Knicks don't have money issues, and how many years did we give $$ to E. Curry and get nothing in return.
We need another Turiaf type player in the middle at this point- if this guy can do it, give him the 10 day shot at the job.
