A few interesting tidbits from Newsday’s “The Knicks Fix” as Alan Hahn reports on some NBA scuttlebutt. According to Hahn, the Bucks will be shopping guards Mo Williams and Michael Redd this summer and says the Knicks have showned some interest in Redd. Also, in the NY Post, Brian Lewis profile’s Anthony Randolph “The Shot Blocking Fiend”

Michael Redd is an interesting name but two problems arise when you discuss bringing in another two guard:

1) You first would have to deal Jamal Crawford and

2) Redd’s contract extends past 2010.

I agree with Alan Hahn when he says the Knicks should focus on the point guard situation versus bringing in another scoring guard.

As for Anthony Randolph, I wouldn’t mind seeing a shot blocking, athletic forward in the mold of Marcus Camby back at the Garden.

Its a shame the Knicks don’t have more then one pick because there seems to be some depth in this draft. You can’t justify, as some mock drafts predicted, using the number six pick on what will essentially be a role player.

Marc Berman of the NY Post profiles LSU freshman Anthony Randolph. According to Randolph the Knicks, Charlotte and Milwaukee are most interested in his services. Berman states that the Knicks have already scheduled a workout for Randolph in June. By the way if your looking for some numbers he averaged 15.6 points and 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks his freshman year. To read more about Anthony Randolph check out his profile at draftexpress.com.

Add another name of intrigue. Draft Express has this analysis of Randolph “It all starts with his physical tools…6-10 or 6-11, incredibly long, left-handed, fluid, quick, explosive off his feet, with great open-court speed…Randolph fits the bill and then some. He does have an extremely lanky frame, one that might struggle to put on significant weight even down the road.” Sounds a bit like Marcus Camby, but we all know how that turned out. Again I am not sure if this is the kind of player worth taking at #6. It sounds like Randolph can be a valuable asset to a club that is closer to contention then the Knicks. For the record I like these types of players and believe the Knicks are going to need a couple more when its all said and done. Remember what Pat Riley said “no rebounds = no rings”. Of course you have to have a foundation to get to the point where you are talking championship. We all know the Knicks are no where near that.
