Really? I projected Knight to be like Jrue Holiday awhile ago. Hmm, even if it's from nbadarft.net it's nice to get a little validation.
You have a theory on me, huh? Thanks for the contribution to my narcissistic supply. You could just ask me, I'm not hiding the fact that I haven't seen many of these guys play (just highlights). And I believe I said I've never seen Singleton play a game. Again, just highlights, - which is why I need to absorb all the conflicting opinions on him and weigh the arguments against each other, against his stats, against the highlight footage, against his performance at the combine and in private workouts, etc. It's much more difficult than having actually seen him play in a game, but the draft is in June and he's not playing a game before then so I'll just have to do the best with what I've got access to.
But Knight is one I actually have seen play - which is why I, who has a rep as a "flip flopper," am pretty concrete when it comes to Knight. I think he's a nice player, certainly clutch, but I was never all that impressed with his running of the Kentucky offense. He merely looked like a decent PG, not elite IMO. I'd prefer to wait for something better or something that wouldn't cost a top 5 pick. But I do think Jrue Holiday is a good comparison, and I like Holiday so I like Knight -but just not with the 3rd pick. And the Jazz aren't gonna get Knight unless they take him there, which again I consider a waste of a high pick.
That's my assessment. How do I make it up to you?
Sheesh - I get grief for changing my mind on players, and then I get grief for not changing my mind on players. I'm gonna cry.
