mildly funny I guess.
So, MSG sent out Media Release the night of the draft stating that the Knicks aquired the rights to Josh Harrellson. There was an obvious typo for his rebounding numbers, 4.7 instead of 8.7RPG, I can see a marketing type getting that wrong in a last minute type of rushed announcement. In the second sentence the number is correct. KNICKS ACQUIRE DRAFT RIGHTS TO JOSH HARRELLSON http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/antoni_jorts_fills_need_gRGZLAn22f4kfrhSYGZCGK?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME= I guess I can understand the number slipping by the first article out... but the other ones too? As expected, Walsh purchased a second-round pick -- No. 45 -- from New Orleans and drafted Kentucky center Josh Harrellson, a 6-10, 275-pounder who averaged 7.6 points and 4.7 rebounds -- though he nearly doubled the scoring average in helping the Wildcats to the Final Four. and again: But Harrellson, the nasty 270-pounder who was suspended temporarily from Twitter after ripping Calipari, put together a solid senior season (7.6 points, 4.7 rebounds), and had an excellent NCAA Tournament in helping Kentucky reach the Final Four. The Knicks shelled out $750,000 to the NBA-owned Hornets for Harrellson, the 45th pick.

oh, I forgot one:
He led the SEC in rebounding last season, averaging 7.6 per game. He gained additional fame by wearing jeans shorts, which garnered him the nickname "Jorts." switched points for rebound numbers LOL Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

You can't believe everything you read in the papers......They should check the UK Forum if they want answers and more correct info.
 Here's a link to Harrellson's 4 year stats at KY. He averaged 4.7 rebounds/game over his 4 years at KY.....But the more important figure is this past year, his junior year, he averaged 8.7 rebounds/game. One article I read said he led the SEC in rebounding this past year. Yours above states he came in 2nd. Either way, he was an excellent rebounder and is what we need. http://nbadraft.rivals.com/bviewplayer.asp?player=401972 From Draft Express The difference between fiction and reality?

Still, the 4.7 RPG number is useless considering his minutes in first 2 years. And for college kids, who puts out number for full career, it's all about the last year before they declare.
