It's happened in so many other arenas. Could the Knicks be preparing to make history, by selecting the first transsexual player in league history?

Here's the scouting report:

NBA Comparison: Dikembe Mutombo


Strengths: Jim Calhoun called her/him ?one of the most dominant players in the history of college basketball,? and it?s hard to disagree ? Had he/she returned for his/her senior year, he likely would have broken the NCAA career-record for blocked shots (he left UConn 118 behind the all-time leader, Wojciech Mydra of Louisiana-Monroe)? Averaged 4.5 blocks per game as a junior, but altered about eight or nine more ? Has impeccable timing and athleticism for someone 7-foot-3 ? Is extremely mobile for someone his size. Often beats guards down the court ? Jumpshot improved considerably in his three years at UConn. Towards the end of his junior year began to take?and make?12-15 foot jumpshots within the offense ? Has a soft touch and a good stroke. With some polishing, there?s reason to believe he can be a consistent mid-range shooter at the next level ? Shot just 63 percent from the free throw line, but shoots it with confidence and an excellent motion for a bigman and should be able to increase that number to the mid-to-high 70s throughout his career ? Has a good nose for the ball on the boards ? Tremendous lateral quickness for a player his size. Can guard smaller players out to the 3-point line ? Is a bit stronger than he appears. Overall, he has a scary combination of size and athleticism that doesn?t come along often ? Upside is tremendous.


Weaknesses:

Gay?s all-around skill level is still lagging behind his outstanding physical attributes, and he struggles at times to live up to the immense expectations that have been placed on him through the incredible amount of hype he?s received since he was in high school.

Despite being an incredible athlete, Gay is not always capable of fully taking advantage of it, especially in half-court sets. His ball-handling is not up to par with his phenomenal first step, and he does not really know how to effectively and consistently create space for himself off the dribble. He relies too much on his athleticism and not enough on the crafty type of moves that all great wing players have in their arsenal to get their man off balance; including head and body fakes and hesitation moves to give himself more room to operate. His size works as a detriment at the collegiate level, as he exposes the ball to his much smaller perimeter rivals by not yet knowing how to use his flexibility to get his body low enough to the floor. His coaches in the NBA will have to work with him on being more fluid and not so upright, to better take advantage of his body control, which is just average at the moment.

I guess you couldn't post in the other thread anymore after saying so many times you were leaving and then coming back, that you had to make a new thread instead to save any scrap of integrity.
