man those stadiums looked packed in those pics... lol they're basically deserted.. i guess european b-ball isnt exactly all that..
well two good pages on petro, i think he can grow into a great player.

[dr.carpy]

Petro seems ok, Bogut seem Bogus (See how small he played against but was routinely beaten laterally by the guards. He also lacks positioning. I don't want to duplicate positions. I hope the Knicks take Blatche, cause he's local, very athletic, and younger. I'd rather have a guy who can move laterally. Look at some guys that don't have the speed to keep a guy in front of them. They get hung defensively, and you constantly have to scheme so they don't cost you the game. I'll take a Garnett clone over a Luc Longley clone any day.

as of late Tim Thomas has been amazing?? we dont want a tall guy, whos athletic and has range??

So, you want a career underacheiver who plays no defense, barely utilizes his height, is a horrible rebounder, a whiner, and has low basketball IQ??? That's not my type of draft pick.

[Peach_NYK_21]

well when you say it like that, its not like i can say yes.. i was just saying that this could be a turnaround from tim thomas, and if we're not going to keep him, we're going to feel it, because Ariza doest really have the range, but i feel if he can work on it Ariza could be a great well rounded player

imagine a 7 footer, 265 pounder riding a scooter to practice. lol.

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Damn, he mentioned the Jazz, Nuggets and Spurs but not the Knicks.

[NYKnicks15]

thats because those were the three interested in him last year. Isiah wasnt until he took that trip this year and saw him in person, and we needed a big man...

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Oh alright. I thought this was a recent interview. Ok, because I thought Isiah was interested in him and this clears everything up. Thanks.

[NYKnicks15]

it kinda is Brian. its from October 2004...but the question was what teams expressed interest for you during that draft process...cause he put his name in last years until he backed out...so it was asking AT THAT TIME what teams did...not the present Isiah is interested VERY interested...

PS, Brian check ur PM thanks

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Oh, alright. Thanks.

And I saw that PM.

Here's another one but this one is in french so you probably should just copy it and go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and then paste and make sure you pick from french to english and press free translation.

[NYKnicks15]

man i like Petro and hes one of the picks i made in my prediction. ive been saying his name since day one in draft talks even there was before a draft thread....

but is it necessary to link/post every time u find an interview about him...if u find a clip then go ahead but ur taking up space this way man..

PS Why that smiley?

[dacash]

i still say trade away players like t thomas and penny for jamal maglorie(and whoever fits the money), and draft petro(isiahs in love him i hear) a back up pg like jarret jack and a small forward like julius hodge.
