Peter Vecsey - NY Post

"Richard (sic) Lewis.  Houston high-schooler with the maturity of a college 
freshman.  Or Keon Clark (UNLV).  More apt to move the pick with one of their 
unwanted - Pervis Ellison, Greg Minor, or Dana Barros.  Travis Knight has 
enough value to be dealt separately.  Geiger is their free agent target of 
choice.  Have decided to take another direction this year and not build around 
the Knicks draft.  Sources say Ron Mercer may be ripe to be had.  Rick Pitino 
figures he can't re-sign him and Antoine Walker after next season.  Accepting 
bids on both.  Miami would give PJ Brown and Jamal Mashburn for Walker and take 
back one undesirable, maybe two." 


Jackie MacMullan - CNNSI

Keon Clark: "Rick Pitino who wants to win now, may have enough guts to pick the 
talented but maturity-challenged Clark."


TSN (The Sporting News) Mock Draft

Boston - Nazr Mohammed


Bryan Burwell - CNNSI

Radoslav Nesterovic: "Boston has fallen in love with Nesterovic, though Nazr 
Mohammed or Keon Clark could also fall here."


Dave D'Alessandro - The Sporting News

Celtics - Nazr Mohammed


Mitch Lawrence - NY Daily News

"After working out Michael Doleac, Kentucky's Nazr Mohammed, Cincy's
Ruben Patterson, and Duke's Roshown McLeod, Celtics all but certain to take
Mohammed, since A) Rick Pitino knows him and B) He adds shot-blocking to
Celts who ranked 21st last year in that department.  Celts came away from
Doleac workout thinking he's no more than backup on a good team."
