Just reading that both Wittman and his college teammate C Jeff Foote were both cut from their Poland team for some reason not too long ago. Very surprising:

Wittman, I've already discussed..Dude's a fantastic shooter -- always has been, always will be..I'd love for the Knicks to add a guy that can shoot like that, esp. if Shawne Williams doesn't return (even if he does, you figure D'Antoni would be able to find room for Wittman and his outside stroke in his system---MDA loves shooters)..Foote's a very interesting player as well. 7'1" 260 lbs. and skilled. He can play in the post, he's an excellent passer for a 7 footer and he can block a shot or two...This guy could be an alternative for us as well, esp. if we wind up empting the cupboard in a trade for Chris Paul. We could certainly do a lot worse.
Bringing in Wittman AND Foote together might be a good idea. We'd be covering two areas of need (a knock-down 3-pt shooter and a center who can actually play & contribute) plus I like the idea that these two already know each other and are familiar with each other having both played for Cornell and in Poland together. That's a plus chemistry-wise..Just a thought..
