They were the moves of 7-foot-1 rookie Russian center
Timofey Mozgov, who coach Mike D'Antoni has singled out as the biggest surprise of training camp.
"Just because we didn't know anything about Timofey, he's showing that what we saw on tape, and what we saw when we worked him out, was good," D'Antoni said. "He's an athlete, and he's getting better every day. His instincts on defense are real good, his offensive instincts are good, he knows how to set people up, and he keeps getting better with his shot, getting more confidence."Of the 16 players in training camp, only five were with the Knicks at the conclusion of last season. And one of those five,
Eddy Curry, has spent the past several days watching practice sitting on a table in the corner of the gym after reporting to camp out of shape and straining his right hamstring in one of the first scrimmages.
Curry did not accompany the Knicks as they left Wednesday afternoon for Milan, Italy, where they will play Armani Jeans Milano on Sunday in their first preseason game before traveling to Paris for an exhibition against the
Minnesota Timberwolves next Wednesday.
