Aaron Gray had his Knicks workout.
The Knicks might love Pitt big man Aaron Gray, because “I’m a real old-fashioned center,” the 7-2 pivot says. “I’m not going to float outside and do all that guard stuff. I’m going to play with my back to the basket, post up strong, and deal out real punishment.”
…
First round numbers, for sure — yet Gray, who has not yet hired an agent, is presently “only 50-50” as to whether he’ll stay in the draft. “I’ll make up my mind by the 18th,” he says. “It’s not about where I’ll be drafted. It’s more about whether I want to go back to college for another year and become a REAL premiere player.”“The way I look at it, I have two wonderful options.”
Gray’s decision has been made even tougher by Brown and (Knicks President, Basketball Operations) Isiah Thomas. “They both told me how much they like me,” smiles Gray. “There were no promises, but they expressed a great interest.”
Also working out were Keydren Clark (St. Peter’s), Solomon Jones (South Florida), Paul Miller (Center, Wichita State) and Mookie Works (Tarleton State).
Here were the Official Orlando Camp measurements on Gray (Insider subs.):
Height: 7-1 — Weight: 280 — Wingspan: 7-3 — Standing Reach: 9-1 — Body Fat: 15%
The Pitt roster listed Gray as 7-0 and 270.
