KNICKS ROOKIES GO TO HEAD OF THE CLASS

September 21, 2007 -- Not every Knick spent yesterday in court.

Three Knicks rookies spent the day on a basketball court, schooling some local youngsters on the game's fundamentals at P.S. 83 in Manhattan.

Demetris Nichols, Randolph Morris and Wilson Chandler were among a group of NBA rookies who spent the morning with students at Luis Munoz Rivera Elementary School in Harlem, teaching them about the game of basketball - and the game of life.

"It's about seeing their expressions," said Morris, a 6-foot-11, 260-pound center who signed as a free agent in the spring after being declared ineligible for the draft. "Seeing what your presence means to them [is priceless]."

Morris and his fellow rookies hope to make Knicks fans as happy to have them on the team as the children were to have them at their school.
