6280, #9 NY Knicks Sofoklis Schortsanitis

Yup, I have been touting him as the NY pick for the last two months and I believe that NY is where he is(should be headed)
Lets be truthful here
NY is in the shitbox and they have no business in even thinking about the safe pick(Mike Sweetney, Chris Kaman)
Now is as good as any time for them to do this
Fuck picking safe, NY needs to treat this like a lottery for real and take a chance on an enormous sized 18 year old kid from Greece and hope he develops into an explosive exciting player that can give them some much needed energy on that frontcourt
Dude has potential and I think he is going to be a good NBA player
He is about 6'9 300 pounds, but for the most part that shit is muscle
Other picks I were considering here were Sweetney,Kaman, and Pavel Podkolzine
And, a lot of people think that pg is a huge need for Ny and I will let yall know why I didn't address that
Frank Williams was our 1st rounder last year and we still do not know what he is capable of doing
Also, Milos Vujanic should be headed over to NY in 2004
And(the last reason)
Speedy Claxton is going to be a free agent after this season is over
If NY wants to address a need for pg they should chase after him and use the draft pick on something else
In the 2000 draft we were two picks away from getting Claxton (Toronto wasnt going to take him)and the bitch ass sixers fucked that up for us
Bring him to his rightful place damnit

Coincidentally, an articel about Schortsanitis appeared in the NY post today
