Justin's Bio

I'm currently a sophomore at Michigan State University, but reside in Metro Detroit, where I was born and raised. Besides being the one and only Clippers fan, I am a fan of and follow the Pistons, Tigers, Spartans, Red Wings and Blue Jays. I've played both basketball and baseball since I was three years old and competitively right up until I graduated from high school. Until recently, I never considered journalism as a possible career path, but after wandering into the world of sports journalism and getting a job as a writer for my previous school's newspaper, a journalism career has become more of a possibility. I've been fortunate to have articles featured on both ESPN.com and CBSSports.com and only have the folks at Bleacher Report to thank.

As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.

That might be a good argument to add to the article then.

But still, I feel there is a valid counter-argument. Perhaps the team is making the playoffs despite Leyland, rather than because of him? Perhaps the pitching trio you spoke of is carrying the team?

So you think they use that 5th pick this year?

Your right he is very raw, but you were saying the Clippers would take less than the 5th pick from the Wizards. who would they take then?

Justin im not trying to be rude here, but Javale McGee has great potential. He created a lot of buzz around the Wizards team this year.So the Center spot is set. The problem with the Wizards is money. The question is really the 4 spot. who is their power forward. Antwan Jamison is not really a true 4 he is a 3. But I talk to couple Wizards insiders, and some like David Lee. can you think of any power forwards?

Can you throw some names out there, that they may be can trade for. I was thinking either Zack Randolph or David Lee. I was thinking they can may be dump Etan Thomas or Mike James expiring contracts for either guy. whats your take?

Hey Justin I know you like Clippers But I just wanted to know well I am a big Washington Wizards fan What do you think they do with the 5th pick. And if they decided to trade the pick who should they trade for.
