Samb's the man?

I'm not in the business of presenting rumors as if they're fact (hence the "?"), but I have it from a pretty good source that the Knicks made some progress today in filling the open roster spots. That's right, a source.

Word has it New York sent home all of the D-Leaguers brought in to try out (a list of which can be seen here) with the exception of Cheikh Samb. Samb, a rail-thin big man from Senegal, played in a few games for the Nuggets this year. He can block a shot, but hasn't shown much else in a couple NBA stints. It is worth mentioning that all transactions will likely wait until after tomorrow's Stephon Marbury arbitration, and that other non-D-Leaguers (like Quincy Douby) might still be in the running. We'll see what happens. Just thought I'd pass along the information.

i’m just about positive this rumor is legit. samb immediately becomes p&t’s favorite Knick.

yessssssssssssssss!

i love me some serious cheick samb. i’m totally buying a jersey.

i’ve actually witnessed samb play (not in person, on leaguepass.) seth essentially summed him up, with “a rail thin senegalese shot-blocker”, what he left out is samb’s comical dreads, headband, and confidence that he has a consistent shot up to and past the three-point arc. (he doesn’t.) in fact, of the five or six such shots i’ve seen him take – a pretty astounding number, considering he never, ever plays, and when he does so, has only been in garbage minutes for the clippers, nuggets, or pistons – i haven’t seen him hit one.
