I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really not a big Walker fan. Knight has played terrible and yet I like him a lot more.

Walker comes across as more of a scoring guard, an Iverson type of player. Knight seems much more of a game manager and facilitator, and given the offensive capability of the Jazz' roster, Knight fits more than Walker. I think Knight also has a higher ceiling and is bigger. Knight is ahead of Walker in my book right now.
 
Yeah, I'm for Knight over Walker. Which is why I'm thrilled Walker is playing for a championship. I hope he is a stud in the championship against Butler and that UCONN wins it all -- making GMs fall in love and select him with the a top 3 pick.

Completely agree. To me, Walker is a lower ceiling point who won't ever excel in the passing game. What I like about Knight is he's cat quick with the ball. He also has a passing mentality but is so inexperienced that he gets a little lost on the dribble and makes the outlet pass rather than than the tight pass inside. I think the dream with Knight is Westbrook. Can't say I see that in him, but he's real young. I can very definitely imagine that KOC likes him a lot.
 
Terrence Jones had some great plays tonight, in addition to going 0 for 5 at the line. After being teased by AK all these years I don't think I can take another player who will inspire cheers followed by forehead slapping. He's young so maybe he'll figure it out. But I'd rather not take the chance.

Some people compare Walker to a young Damon Stoudamire, which is a fair comparison.
 
Yeah Ive been rootin for Butler, but I REALLLY want kemba being selected at the highest pick possible. Knight > Walker for our team imo. Kemba would fit in a Golden State/Phoenix Suns run/gun team.

Now that I think of it, toronto might select Kemba....

Huge fly in the ointment. Stoudamire was a shooter. Massive 3pt percentages. Walker is a poor shooter. I think he's a better player than his numbers, but my opinion of him is changing to rotation player. He's officially off my draft board.
