if Isiah drafts a foreign player ahead of Bogut, Green & Taft he better know what he is doing because if we wind up with another Skita, podskline, radojevic, Weis while those other guys are tearing up the league in their first year the way Amare & Wade did I'm going to give up on this Knicks organization! He better scout these guys just as hard as he's scouting the foreign players. I hope he doesn't have this notion thst foreign is better! When inreality Dirk, Pau, peja & Illgaukus are few and far inbetween

when dirk & co were drafting it was a time when only the elite foreign players come out. Now we are going over to Europe scouting everyone and their grandmother, players who aren't even that great in on their European teams! Meanwhile guys like Amare & Wade are slipping in the draft to teams who are less deserving. And teams like us who hsve a legitimate shot at a top 5 pick will waste the pick on a player who might be a total bust like a Tskitisvili or Darko(arguably over Carmelo) or another player who is years away from contributing to our current mess! all because of this notion that foreign is better!
