We don't need this guy. We already have Randolph Morris and need to develop him. He comes from a better program (KU) and this guy (BC) and accomplished a lot more in college.
Morris plays the 5... Williams would be a 4... so we could use both... but you're right about their college accomplishments...
Here's the info I got about Tiago Splitter: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
It says here that he's weak for a PF, but his overall skill seems to be what the knicks covet, especially since he's already a solid rebounder and defender. He seems like the 3 JJ20 was hired to be.
This is a tough one... based on talent level... I would draft splitter (slightly) over Williams... but we don't need to add another athletic three with developing post defense since we already have balkman and (presumably) a healthy qrich... like you said... we need post position defense and Williams provides that best post defense of the two (from what I've read, since I haven't seen either guy for an entire game)... if what they're saying about Splitter is true... I expect him to be snatched up the Wolves 7, Atlanta 11, Phily 12, New Orleans 13, or LAC 14... assuming Yi and Brewer are already drafted... these teams all need help at the 3 and someone is going to bite on a 6'11" athletic 3/4 before he slips to #23...
Whatever happens I trust IT with this draft pick... people criticized drafting balkman... now everyone is on his d*ck... if we can get either of these guys... we'd be on the right track...
That profile is old...NBADRAFT.net compared Darius Miles to T'Mac once...or Deshaun Stevenson to Micheal Jordan.

I was thinking the same thing. We got Morris, lets see what he can do. But if Williams is what ere1 says he is then we can't pass that up (unless Morris can play) But I do like Almond outta Rice.
