I found this article quite interesting and i wanted to share, it basically says brandon knight can be the next franchise player for utah or the catalyst to make the team better

In my opinion he has much better potential than kemba walker and he isnt undersized like him so definitely the second best guard in the draft

Its likely we will get a 6-7 th pick if we cant win the lottery, and there will be no irving left till then. So do u think, Brandon Knight worths our first pick? or we should get another guy and hope to get him at the second pick?
 
I would rather see the Jazz trade up (assuming they get the 6th pick) and try like hell to get either Barnes or Derrick Williams. Then if they still have their own pick take either Knight or Kemba Walker with the 12 ish pick

Derrick doesnt feel a need, if we traded up it wouldnt be for him.
 
I really like Knight for the Jazz. I wouldn't take him with a top 2 pick but would seriously consider him at #6 or 7 depending on who else is available.

Mid level exceptions are most likely going the way of the dodo bird with this coming CBA.

Also, haven't we been needing an AK replacement for about 4 years now? The dude rarely plays well and is almost usually injured.

Lets focus on getting us the scoring SF/SG that we desperately need. Harris is good enough for now. But even Stockton couldn't average more than 2 assists per game with brick layers AK, Raja, and CJ.
 
If Brandon Knight is available and Harrison Barnes and Kyrie Irving are not, then Brandon is a good way to go. If you look at the last few years, John Calipari-coached point guards have and will do very well in the NBA. One might win the MVP this year. One won Rookie of the Year last year. One would win it this year if not for Blake Griffin's delayed rookie year. Utah should give Knight a solid look.

I really dont think Harris is good enough for now or future. He has some skills but he proved he cant be the 1st or 2nd option in a good team. His defense is really bad, and he isnt a guy u would trust at the end of the game, so we need a good pg in this draft. Its difficult to get irving but its not bad to use the first pick with brandon knight. At least he has better potential than Terrence Jones or Derrick Williams.
 
Do NOT waste a top 5 pick on a PG. It is proven every year you can win a ring without a top flight PG. Build around another position, IMO.

If the do draft Knight with the first draft (which I am quite excited about), then I don't think we'll be getting another PG in Jimmer with their second pick (which I am sad about)... *sigh*

Overall I'd rather build around Knight than Jimmer though.. can't pass on an athletic PG in the mold of Westbrook, Wall, Rose,..

Knight is a good player. But he isn't a comparable athlete to freak athletes like Westbrook, Wall and Rose. He is a big guard that uses his size and what athletic ability he does have well. But at its core his game is built on his jumper.

Think about it, when was the last time Knight blew past somebody and finished at the rim?

All that said he may be the BPA at 6th pick if several players don't come out.

If there's a Deron Williams or Chris Paul caliber PG there, I'd take him early - but Brandon Knight isn't on that level. Pass.
 
I have him about an equal with Barnes. Love his three point shot, which is only 1.4% worse than the Jimmer. He is 18 so has a lot more potential than any PG not named Irving.

I love his handle, his mobility--the ability to go anywhere he wants, the ability to pull up and hit from anywhere in mid-range, the ability to pass, the ability to lead a team. He could add a whole new dimension to the Jazz and really stir the pot.
