Knicks Pre-Draft activity

The Knicks are reportedly working out the following players today:

Stephen Graham, a 6-6, 215 lb Guard from Oklahoma State. A senior with nice size, and shot .455 from 3 point range last year. Decent shooting percentage I suppose.

Jamaal Levy, a 6-9, 186 lb Forward from Wake Forest (from Panama originally). This senior’s scouting report says he has the game of a PF in a SF body. But he can’t shoot free-throws (shot .506 last year), and he is too skinny. Way too skinny.

Chris Thomas, a 6-1, 190 lb PG from Notre Dame. This senior may be a good point guard, according to his scouting report, but he is an Allen Iverson type-scorer, which means he will take 30 shots to get 20 points. His shooting percentage this past year was only .346.

Ricky Shields, a 6-4, 190 lb G from Rutgers. This senior is not a great shooter, but he likes to shoot 3 pointers. He only shot .362 from the field this year.

Why are the Knicks looking at these guys? Except for Graham, they all have major flaws. Uhhhh, the Knicks.

Comments:
6-9 186 lb? Yeah, I'd say that's too skinny.

You have to wonder how someone who's skinny doesn't get good at shooting free throws. He must not have played a lot of 21 growing up in Panama.
