From the NY Post:
....Knicks are unsure if the player they've pegged, 6-11 Arizona center Channing Frye, will make it to their first pick, No. 8. If Frye is not there, a NBA source familiar with Thomas' thinking told The Post the Knicks are strongly considering the 7-foot, 280-pound high school center Andrew Bynum, which would be a reach if you consider mock drafts the Bible.
Bynum, who played at St. Joseph High School in Metuchen, N.J., had been projected as a mid-first-round choice.
"Isiah likes to go against the grain," one person close to Thomas said. "He doesn't really care about what the mock drafts say. He likes the kid."
it's hard to tell how much of this is manuevering or lies and how much is true.
but it's very good to know that Zeke would take a long look at Bynum if Frye was gone.
Honestly, if Frye, Granger, Green are all gone by 8, I would not mind Bynum. I would take Bynum over Graham, as long as we have Q. Graham and Q would be too repetitive.
so, it's looking like it will either be Frye or Bynum, because there's really no way that Granger or Green fall that far, and I don't think the Knicks will take a swing man rated lower on their boards when they just traded for Q.
