JFK Intern Details Affair In New Memoir
And The Oldest Living Thing On Earth Is...
A day after I praised Knicks coach Isiah Thomas for the splendid job he's done this season with an injury-riddled team, the guy goes and completely outdoes himself - he basically gets a first-round pick without giving up anything. Yes, Kentucky's Randolph Morris was going to be a first-round pick in this June's NBA draft. And the Knicks got him for nothing. Before you counter with how lazy Randolph is, and whether or not he's going to find playing time with Channing Frye and David Lee in the mix, consider these four games Morris had this season:
vs. North Carolina 10-11 field goals, 23 points, 7 rebounds
vs. LSU 20 points, 10 rebounds
vs. Alabama 17 points, 11 rebounds
vs. Kansas 22 points, 8 rebounds
For those of you who haven't paid attention to college hoops this season, here's the common thread among those teams - they all have NBA-bound frontline players you will be hearing from sooner than later. UNC has Tyler Hansbrough and Brandan Wright, LSU has Glen Davis, Alabama has Jermareo Davidson and Richard Hendrix and Kansas has Darrell Arthur and Julian Wright. And Morris posted impressive numbers against all of them.
I don't expect Morris to have an immediate impact, but if Zeke looks down the bench and he's got Morris or Jerome James, Kelvin Cato, or Malik Rose, the guess here is that the Knicks take a look at what the newbie's made of.
What I saw him from this year was an impressive jump hook and an innate ability to get to the foul line. So Eddy Curry minus 40 pounds and plus some jumping ability. Randolph's already got an NBA body. Once the Knicks are eliminated from the playoff hunt - tonight's blowout loss in Cleveland is their fifth loss in six games, so the end is near - I'd expect to see a healthy dose of Morris.
