LeBron James helping kids save planet

LeBron James helping kids save planet
TOM WITHERS, Jun 30, 2008
LeBron James has a new teammate who's just as popular. The guy has a few holes in his game. Oh, and he lives in a pineapple under the sea.

Cavaliers Team Report Jul 3, 2008

Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry called him "a work in progress."

Basically, North Carolina State power forward J.J. Hickson is raw. He was the 19th overall selection in the 2008 NBA draft by the Cavs.

Ferry said earlier in the week that many of the prospects in this draft would have an 18-month window to evolve into a rotational player. Hickson is 19 years old and played just one season at North Carolina State.

"In some ways, he's kind of an uncarved block," Ferry said.

Because of the age of the Cavs' stable of big men—Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Ben Wallace are 33 years old and Joe Smith is 32—they felt a young player needed to be added. Anderson Varejao is on the trading block and can opt out of his contract after this season.
