Six draft prospects raising city's hoops profile

The general consensus nationwide over the last decade is New York City basketball has taken a hit, from the NBA to the grassroots level.

If Thursday night’s NBA Draft is any indication, that assumption is either incorrect or may be invalid in the years to come. Four Queens products – shooting guard Doron Lamb from Kentucky, forward Maurice Harkless out of St. John’s, Norfolk State power forward Kyle O’Quinn and Iona College point guard Scott Machado, who led the nation in assists – are likely to be selected. The St. John’s dynamo Harkless a consensus first-round pick.

Queens native Maurice Harkless of St. John's is one of six New Yorkers expected to be selected in Thursday night''s NBA Draft.

Kentucky's Doron Lamb is another local product expected to be picked on Thursday.

Additionally, former Mount Vernon star Kevin Jones of West Virginia and Hempstead point guard Tu Holloway from Xavier are expected to have their names called.

“A lot of people say New York basketball has fallen off. This is an indication it hasn’t,” the 6-foot-8 Harkless said. “We’re putting New York back on the map.”

The boon began two years ago, when Queens’ Devin Ebanks and Lance Stephenson went in the second round, to the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers, respectively, and continued last year. Kemba Walker of The Bronx was the city’s highest pick since Charlie Villanueva in 2005, going ninth overall to the Charlotte Bobcats, and Queens product Charles Jenkins was taken in the second round (44th overall) by the Golden State Warriors.

Aside from Harkless, who led the shorthanded Red Storm to a 13-19 campaign and was the Big East Rookie of the Year, the crop of draft hopefuls won big in college.

Lamb was a key member to Kentucky’s national championship team, scoring 22 points in the NCAA Tournament finals victory over Kansas. Machado led Iona to the MAAC regular season title and its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2006. Holloway made the NCAA Tournament all four years at Xavier, including three Sweet 16 appearances, and Jones improved each year in Morgantown, West Va., averaging 19.9 points per game as a senior and helped the Mountaineers reach the Final Four as a sophomore.

O’Quinn, the 6-foot-8 forward out of Campus Magnet in Queens, was one of the stars of the tournament this year, going for 26 points and 14 rebounds in a huge upset of Missouri, just the fifth time a 15th seed has taken down a No. 2.

“It’s going to show we haven’t lost any talent,” predicted Machado, projected as a second-round pick. “There’s a chance and an opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent. We can prove New York basketball has always been there, we’re trying to continue it and keep it going.”

St. John’s assistant Tony Chiles, a Bronx product who has recruited the city for much of his coaching career, doesn’t think this year’s draft will change the perception of the five boroughs because the area has taken a hit with hyped prospects such as Stephenson and Sebastian Telfair failing to pan out.

“These guys have to prove they belong in the league and show something before people start saying New York is back,” Chiles said. “It’s one thing to get drafted, but another to be a good player [in the NBA].”

Of the six players likely to be taken tomorrow night, Harkless has the best chance to break the recent mold of underwhelming pros from the area, Chiles believes. NBA scouting director Ryan Blake agrees, lauding Harkless’ athleticism, length, shooting ability and ability to play both ends of the floor.

“His upside is there,” Blake said.

Harkless' decision to go pro after one year at St. John's was met with doubts, but after an impressive series of workouts with 10 teams, those questions have faded. He is expected to go somewhere in the middle of the first round.

"I want to play against the best competition," Harkless said. "I think I'm ready for the next level."

He isn't picky. Harkless just wants to land with a team where he has an opportunity to play and improve.

"It will be the best feeling in the world," he predicted. Harkless added: "It's a blessing to be where I'm at now."

He's not alone in that feeling, joined by the five other New Yorkers. Blake thinks all six of said prospects can stick depending on the situation, led by Harkless and Machado, who he said “has a good chance to be a surprise.”

The Iona College point guard plans to watch the draft with his family and will keep a close eye on his fellow New Yorkers.

“I’m going to be hoping for the best for all of them," he said.

IKEA Knocks on India's Door

NEW DELHI—Swedish furniture giant IKEA Group asked India for permission to invest €1.5 billion ($1.9 billion) in the country to set up 25 stores in coming years, bringing some relief to New Delhi policy makers, as they try to bolster foreign investors' sagging sentiment.

IKEA's foray into India, made possible by a policy change last year that allows some retailers to own 100% of their Indian units, could help transform India's largely unorganized $500 billion retail sector. But the company will face significant challenges, including meeting the government's mandate that it source 30% of inventory from small-scale local industries.

An Ikea store in Stockholm

IKEA, which has 298 stores world-wide and is known for selling affordable, modern furniture and household goods, said that if the Indian government approves its application it could have a significant impact on the country's retail sector, "vastly improving availability of high-quality, low-price products."

The company unveiled its plan after Chief Executive Mikael Ohlsson met with Indian Commerce Minister Anand Sharma on Friday at a conference in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Foreign companies have soured on India over the past year because of concerns about increased regulatory uncertainty, slowing economic growth and stalled proposals to liberalize foreign-ownership caps. Dwindling foreign capital flows have helped push the rupee to record lows against the dollar in recent weeks.

An IKEA investment could help Indian policy makers send a signal to other foreign investors that the country is still an attractive investment destination. "It's more about the image of India and the Indian story," said Arvind Singhal, chairman of consulting firm Technopak Advisors. "This is a very good endorsement."

India's move last fall to allow foreign firms to own 100% of some Indian retail ventures, up from a previous 51%, came after lobbying by IKEA and others who wanted to have full operational control of their businesses in India, rather than working with local joint-venture partners. IKEA's investment would mark the largest by a major foreign company to take advantage of that change.

It could take several years for IKEA to set up its first store, retailing experts say. The company will have competition when it arrives, as India already has at least two big-box housewares retailers. One chain, Lifestyle's Home Centre, which is controlled by Dubai's Landmark Group, has 12 home-furnishing superstores across India that sell most of the same items as IKEA, including sofas, bedroom sets, and kitchen and bathroom items.

While some Indian consumers still prefer to have their furniture custom-made or go to small-time retailers, many appear to be embracing the one-stop-shop concept. Jaspreet Singh Goomer, a 22-year-old accounting student, drove an hour and a half on Saturday from western Delhi to a Home Centre store on the city's eastern outskirts to buy furniture for his family's new house. "You can find anything here: it's all under one roof," he said.

Mr. Goomer said he hasn't heard of IKEA but would welcomemore furniture stores.

An Indian Commerce Ministry spokesman said IKEA submitted an application that envisions two stages of investment, a €600 million tranche in the first part, followed by a €900 million infusion later. The company didn't indicate a timetable.

The application seeks permission to engage in import, export, distribution, marketing, and warehousing, and spells out features of standard IKEA stores that would be present in Indian outlets, such cafés and children's play areas, the Indian ministry spokesman said. It wasn't clear how soon India would respond to the proposal.

IKEA's plans are a vote of confidence for India, but the pressure is still on the government to carry out economic reforms, analysts say. Gross-domestic-product growth was just 5.3% in the most recent quarter, the lowest level in nine years. A widening trade gap has left the country with a current-account deficit of about 4% of GDP, pressuring it to attract international capital.

"It doesn't take the pressure off the government," Seema Desai, India analyst for the risk-advisory firm Eurasia Group, said of IKEA's investment proposal. "India's balance-of-payments situation requires some more reforms for foreign-direct-investment flows to strengthen."

Lately, the Congress party that heads the current coalition government has struggled to build consensus with allies and opposition parties alike for almost all major initiatives. C. Raj Kumar, dean of the Jindal Global Law School outside New Delhi, said Congress needs to do more to persuade those opponents of the urgency of the required economic fixes. "It is possible to bring together widely divergent parties in the interest of the nation," he said. "There needs to be greater efforts at consensus-building."

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking to reporters Sunday aboard his official plane, Air India One, urged "all political parties to work with the government to restore the momentum of growth that this country is capable of and which this country needs."

Foreign investors say that while opening the "single brand" retail market to 100% foreign ownership was a positive step, allowing in "multibrand" retailers—such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Tesco PLC—would have a much greater economic impact. Such companies currently aren't allowed to hold even minority investments in Indian retail firms.

Backers of letting in Wal-Mart and its peers say they would help modernize India's creaky infrastructure and farm-to-market supply chain. Critics, including one key Congress ally—Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress party—say those multinational firms would put out of business millions of small-time shopkeepers, who account for more than 90% of retail revenues.

To meet the mandate of buying 30% of its products from small-scale local industries, IKEA would have to help those vendors modernize their infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities to ensurethey can offerworld-class quality. "The Indian manufacturing base could get a lot more efficient over time," Mr. Singhal said.

In its statement, IKEA said it believes it can "live up to the guidelines and keep within the spirit of the policy" by building upon relationships it already has in India, where it works closely with 70 suppliers of good ranging from textiles to rugs to ceramics for its global stores. In 2011, the firm sourced $450 million of products from India. IKEA spokeswoman Malin Pettersson-Beckeman said the retailer plans to exceed $1 billion in purchases from India in the next few years.

But in its statement, the company said the 30% mandate will remain a challenge in coming years and urged the government to be flexible in what it defines as small-enterprise suppliers for purposes of the requirement. IKEA's biggest markets include Germany, the U.S., France and the U.K. Mr. Ohlsson said in an interview last year that high urbanization and growing middle classes in emerging markets make them an important source of revenue growth.

"Consumption in Russia and China is tremendously strong, while countries like Portugal and Spain are struggling," Mr. Ohlsson said in the interview last year. The furniture giant's sales in China have risen by more than 20% this fiscal year. The company has 11 stores in China and plans to open three more annually between now and 2016.

Indeed, some developing countries are fast outpacing European markets in sales growth.

Ms. Pettersson-Beckeman said IKEA will provide more details about its intentions for India operations once the Indian government approves its application.

Greece set to ‘fight’ Germany

Gdansk, Poland — Germany’s most prominent fan will be in the stands for today’s quarterfinal against Greece at the European Championship.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, however, wins no popularity contests among the Greek contingent. So the political dimension of today’s game only heightens what is already an intriguing match in strictly soccer terms.

Germany is a three-time champion. Greece is the surprise winner of the 2004 Euro title, and the Greeks are still standing again, with an unexpected place in the knockout stages.

“It was always our main aim to reach the quarterfinals. So now we have nothing to lose,” said defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos, one of the many Greece players with Bundesliga experience. “We are playing against one of the best teams here. All I can say is that we’ll fight. If we get the win, that would be a huge result.”

Greece has plenty of reason to be thankful to Germany — the 2004 championship team was coached by a German, Otto Rehhagel.

German and Greek officials are trying to play down the politics. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, has been a major contributor to international bailouts for Greece and was instrumental in demanding structural reforms and hugely unpopular spending cuts in return. Greek fans are unlikely to take kindly to Merkel’s presence at Gdansk Arena.

“We are playing for our shirt, our flag and for the people back home,” midfielder Costas Katsouranis said.

Added Greek forward Dimitris Salpigidis: “I don’t think anyone on the team believes this will be our last game at this tournament. People have so many problems in their everyday lives. We’re really hoping that we can put a smile on their face.”

Gdansk also was also the scene of the first battle of World War II, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. A German soccer federation delegation laid a wreath Wednesday at a memorial for Poles at the Westerplatte peninsula on the outskirts of the Baltic city.

Germany has two Poland-born players in its squad, Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski, and Polish fans could throw their support behind the Germans. By winning its group, Germany got to stay in Gdansk and was spared having to travel. — AP

Merkel attended Germany’s 4-0 rout of Argentina at the 2010 World Cup and saw Germany beat Turkey in Berlin in the most important Euro 2012 qualifier for her team. She has visited the German locker room and briefly spent time with the team in Gdansk before the tournament.

“She seems to bring us luck,” midfielder Sami Khedira said.

Germany is the only team to have won all three group games and goes into the quarterfinal as the overwhelming favorite. But the Germans understand the ability of the Greeks.

“They are a very good team, underestimated by many. They create few chances but score from them. Technically, they are strong and play well one-on-one,” Khedira said.

“It will be tough to crack their defense, but we have the means. We have to be patient, but we also have to be constantly on the move. They will try to disrupt our game and beat us, but they will not succeed.”

Added midfielder Thomas Mueller: “We know what we have to do, but it’s not going to be a piece of cake.”

Greece will be missing playmaker and captain Giorgos Karagounis because of suspension.

There is speculation Germany coach Joachim Loew will return Klose to the starting lineup, although Mario Gomez scored three goals that won matches against Portugal and the Netherlands. Klose, a 34-year-old striker, scored the last time these teams played each other, a World Cup qualifier in 2001.

Six Greece players have either played or still play in the Bundesliga. Greece has five defeats and three draws in the eight games it has played Germany or the former West Germany.

“We are not too bothered about statistics. ... That doesn’t really matter,” Salpigidis said. — AP

Thunder's Harden knows it’s on him

MIAMI — He has spoken with his former coaches, guys who trained him in high school and college. He has received calls of encouragement from the top to the bottom of the Thunder organization. But James Harden is fully aware the only person who can help him get out of his NBA Finals funk is James Harden.

“They’re telling me to stick with it,” Harden, his left hand surrounded by an ice bag and elastic bandage, said yesterday of the calls of encouragement, including one from Thunder general manager Sam Presti, he has received. “He said, ‘You put in the work every single day so stick with it and just try to be consistent and stay positive.’ Things like that help me, helps everybody in that locker room have that positive energy.”

Well, the Thunder need all the help they can get. Oklahoma City faces a 3-1 deficit against the Heat, who can close it out tonight in Game 5. No team, in 30 different scenarios, ever has come back from 3-1 down to win the finals.

“All of us understand the mood,” Harden said. “No team, has ever come back from 3-1 in the finals, but we’ll try to make history.”

Harden is coming off back-to-back 2-of-10 shooting games. The third prong in Oklahoma City’s version of the Big Three has failed horribly in two defeats on the biggest stage.

“Can’t worry about what other people are talking about. It’s just go and play,” Harden said.

LeBron James still felt a little soreness yesterday from his Game 4 bout with leg cramps. But he said he was feeling much better.

“A lot better,” said James, who pointed out how he simply was walking better. “I’m still a little sore because of the muscles just kind of being at an intense level, very tight. ... I was able to get some treatment last night. I was able to get some treatment this morning. ... But I think I’m going to use today as an opportunity to continue to improve my legs.”

Though the Heat knocked down 10-of-26 3-pointers in Game 4, the Thunder were a woeful 3-of-16.

“We’ve just got to play the right way,” Kevin Durant said. “We’ve got to find each other. James [Harden] missed three wide open 3’s that looked good. I missed a few wide-open ones. We had some good looks. Unfortunately, they didn’t fall.”

Garden City Hotel to be sold

The renowned Garden City Hotel, owned by the Nelkin family, is under contract to be sold to Fortuna Realty Group’s Morris Moinian, sources said.

The 272-room, nine-story hotel sits on 8.5 acres of manicured grounds in the posh Long Island community. It is topped by a distinctive clock tower and boasts a popular and extensive catering and event space.

No price was disclosed. The hotel had been marketed in 2008, but a deal for nearly $100 million was never completed. Moinian did not return a call for comment.

The hotel, where high society, diplomats and celebrities have long hobnobbed, opened in 1874 and has been refurbished several times, most recently in 1983 by the late Myron Nelkin. His daughter, Cathy Nelkin Miller, is the current president of the hotel, which is now a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
