THAT was the Mike Sweetney of Georgetown. Always under the basket. Always mauling the glass. Always getting to the line. When he wasnt killing you on the offensive glass he was racing down court to get postion in the post. If you didnt come out he would knock down the 15 footer. It wouldnt matter if there were 2 guys or 3 guys. He would find a way to get the ball down and use that wide body.

Hopefully starting him gets him comfortable because he and KT are a great compliment. They are small but their skills really fit together

This is why I was crying to get Sweetney into the lineup. So far so good. Knicks should have done this in the begining of the season. They would be in a much better position.

I think starting and knowing that he will get significant PT, is enabling him to relax and play his game.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read all of fishmike's post.

Yes. He just has to control his foul woes. Sweetney was literally unstoppable, especially after he grabbed the offensive boards. I'm surprised he didn't get to the free throw line much.

what I didn't understand, in his first few games, was why he looked SO lost out there in the pros

19/12 in 30 mins.

he's good. when he gets involved early, he keeps away from those stupid fouls but when they sort of ignore him in the first 5 mins or so, he reverts back to his rookie ways. they need to make it an impetus to go through him early.
