Note: Jeff Van Gundy just said that the Knicks need Stephon Marbury to play up to his potential. I don’t know why, but I find that extremely funny.
Coach Z’s scouting report: With another year in college, he might have developed into a more athletic Wally Szczerbiak… great athlete who competes on every play… Bobby Huggins and John Beilein prepared him well… needs better range on his jumper and quicker feet on defense… also needs to develop his handling skills to become a star…
Jay Bilas is calling him a face up 4-man, so maybe Alexander can play power forward. If that’s the case, I like the pick. He is stronger and tougher than most 6’8″ players, and he’s extremely athletic, so the kid has a ton of upside. GMs have been in love with his work ethic and competitiveness, so he’ll fit in well with Scott Skiles’ fiery personality. I’m so happy that they didn’t take Randolph…
Next up is Charlotte – this pick looks like it has Brook Lopez written all over it.
