http://nbadraft.net/profiles/pavelpodkolzin.htm He is 7-4 at age 18 that means he is still growing. He is quick and can rebound and block. The only thing he has to do is have a great work out for the knicks. I would really like Mike Sweetney but he is undersized and the knicks aready have alot of undersized PF's. Kaman will probably not be available at 9th.
Padolzkin makes Chris Marcus look like a stiff midget. The only concern with him is an ankle he keeps reinjuring. He's hoping that surperior sports treatments in the U.S. will fix him up, or they will go away as soon as he's done growing, adjusting to such a massive body etc... However, seeing that the knicks are interested in him it seems very likely that he will have a great workout, pass his physical and then twist his ankle in an exhibition game and sit next to Antonio Mcdyess all season wearing bad sweaters.
why is he a russian bear? what's in the russian's water these days...they got 6'8" boxers...now 7'4" NBA prototypes
this guy has bust written all over him i reckon, but at that size he's hard to pass up too on the chance he will produce. most mock drafts have him going to the sonics at 14 or anywhere from there to pick 20....but again that changes with workouts
