Knicks Showing Interest in Kenneth Faried

New York holds pick No. 17 in June's NBA Draft.

Here is an excerpt from NYPost.com:

One scout said he is "probably the best rebounder in the draft."

Some NBA scouts even wonder if he'll be available when the Knicks select at No. 17 next month.

Walsh, who's working on a new contract, wants size for the roster, preferably at center, but none of quality will likely be there at pick 17. Amar'e Stoudemire is not a great boardman and the undersized Knicks became a poor rebounding team. Faried is slightly undersized even for a power forward, but scouts rave about his motor, hustle and tenacity for loose balls.
