If he comes out he should definately go in the lottery. He reminds me of Karl Malone. He hasn't gotten any love on this board yet. What do guys think of him?

Karl Malone? Karl Malone was an explosive, athletic 265 pounds ripped to shreds. I wrote up on May, he's definitely a Zach randolph like clone, hes got a better body than Sweetney in comparison, and also has that 14 foot jumper. He will be a dominator on the right team, I think either the Nets[move Kristic to pF] or the Raptors. He'sbetter than anyone we have at C for sure, but how can we justify taking another body type like that, even if the kid has substantial upside with PROVEN dominating skills. May is a good player because he has agility and great coordination in both his hands and his feet. He uses his huge frame to seal and has just a beautiful touch to do damage.
Zach Randolph--even perhaps a better team version-yes
karl malone--NO, not in this lifetime -different body types--hes an endomorph and karl was a mesomorph

Is May really only 6' 8? He seems taller.

Sean May has a killer instinct. He has a desire to punish the opposition. He also plays with fire and desire.

I would not use the same words to describe Mike Sweetney. I dunno if Sweetney will everr develop a killer instinct. Even after the Nazr trade he didn't look at that as his time to shine. Either you do or you don't. He has the opportunity. The 4 spot is his for the taking.

This Draft is full of capable big men. I'm looking at the draft and saying if May is available when the Knicks pick.......they gotta take him and then look to move Sweets to get another pick or something. I picture May becoming a instant starter on the next level. With the depth the Knicks have at the 4 Sweetney is just as expendable as KT is.

I think Sweetney does have he fire desire a lot more than any PF on this team. He's the only one out of the 5 who goes and gets rebounds well Rose does too but he's limited at 6'4. Sweetney looked just like May does now when he was at georgetown if not better. Elton Brand was the dominant college player neither May or Sweetney are.

By the way I love Sweets. He gets position that Shaq can't even get anymore. I just think with Sean May you might get a guy coming in that will contribute right away. Sweets has the opportunity now to take the 4 spot for the next 10 years......he hasn't shown that he can be a force every quarter let alone every night.

May = Othella Harrington. Hardworking strong body that beats up on college players. He has some skills but he struggle to ever be more than a nice role player like Harrington. Good bench player.
