I Like Stephane Lasme.

From the Knicks website...

Lasme:

"I just try to be where the ball is," he said, extremely soft-spoken. "I'm HUNTING for it. I have a knack, I guess. It comes naturally. To tell you the truth, I never actually worked at it."

"Obviously, I've got a lot of things to work on," he smiled. "I need to improve my offensive game a little bit more, also my perimeter defense. I've got to knock down the mid-range shot and just improve my range. But I'm patient with it."

`'I work hard," he added. `'I can do anything. I will do anything you tell me to do. I don't mind doing the dirty job. I think I got that across today.''

That's cool. As wraith mentioned yesterday, some of these prospects seem like they're reading notecards- falling just short of proclaiming their own "freakish athleticism" and "tremendous upside." Lasme presents at least a semi-departure from the fountain of clichés.

The 6'8'', 225 lb. shot-blocking forward from UMass isn't likely to end up on the Knicks (if he did he'd certainly have to find a new name, as Barnesgasm pointed out. I'd probably just call him Stephanie.), but I like his enthusiasm and his straightforward words. Either way, here's his profile, just for kicks. P&T salutes you, Stephane Lasme.

Lasme!
Not to mention that he's from Gabon. And that he probably went through the workout wearing that Sean John polo shirt, and still didn't break a sweat. If only he wasn't 25 years old.

Foreigners can get away with being old rookies
The fact that he's from Gabon should bump him up like 10 draft spots. Someone wants the first Gabonese player in the NBA...who's it gonna be?
