I was
wrong about Trevor Ariza. Though at least I foresaw my own undoing.So far, Ariza, a high-flying 6-8 forward who left UCLA after just one season, has handled the leap from college to the NBA very well, meeting each new challenge in stride. He wowed the Knicks' staff when he averaged 14 points and 6.8 rebounds in four summer league games, then impressed head coach Lenny Wilkens when he showed no fear going to the rim in some very physical scrimmages early in training camp.
