fraschilla on mozgov (espn insider needed)

can't post the whole article obviously, but here is the section on our boy, mozart... Timo Mozgov, Russia (New York Knicks) 21 mpg, 13 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 64% FG, 78% FT The 7-foot-1 Russian's four quick baskets against Team USA in the quarterfinals showed why Donnie Walsh and the Knicks signed him to a three-year, $9 million contract. Mozgov, who was not drafted two years ago, is a late developer with excellent strength and above-average athletic ability. He runs the court well, will bang inside and can be a defender around the rim. On the other hand, his offensive low-post package of skills is nonexistent and he has average hands, at best. He is a forceful roller in the screen-and-roll game, though, and he provides a large target when he gets to the rim. Mozgov would have been a top-15 pick in what I thought was a weak draft. Guys like Ekpe Udoh, Cole Aldrich, Larry Sanders and Greg Monroe, who were all first-round selections, would have been hard-pressed to play the way Mozgov did in Turkey.
