Does that sound like something you might be interested in?

Because he's not a true point.

That is my concern. Knight is very young, but I think your going to have to teach him to play point guard, i.e., get others involved by passing. Maybe he gets it maybe he doesn't. Most of the time you are what you are. Shooters shoot. Passers pass. I think knight is shooter. He may be very good, but I think I prefer Kanter.

And damn his worst case is Aaron Gray.... Not that it's 100% believable but it is risky based on the athleticism that he has displayed so far.
Knight is simply not a floor general in the mold of Paul, Williams, Nash, etc, etc
He's also not a penetrating & finish at the rim guy in the mold of Rose, Westbrook, Wall, etc.
He's a shooting PG in the mold of Billups, Mayo, Crawford, Gordon, Curry, etc.
If that's what you're after from your PG - then pick him. IMHO, I would prefer to wait for next year's GS' pick to find someone who's either a floor general or athletic PG with some hops.
How would we get three lotto players in this draft?
Ford has Kanter at 4, assuming the Jazz pass on him due to having Favors and Jefferson already, but Ford isn't 100% confident.

I'm not real excited for either as they both have their question marks.
I voted for Knight becuase Kanter has said he is a 4 not a 5. We have Favours.
I've read that Knight could play along side Harris. What little bit I've seen of Knight I don't think I could tell them apart....and that does not excite me.

Read my previous posts.
I agree for the most part that he's not a pure, ball dominating point guard, but we hardly need that to win a ring. That list of players that you just came up with? How many of them have rings? Which section is that player in? You could also throw Tony Parker in there. We need a guy who can complement All-Star caliber guys at the wing and big positions, not a guy who we rely on to do everything for everyone else on the team ala Deron. I'd be more than okay with Kanter or Knight, but just because he isn't the player commanding everything on the court doesn't mean he can't be an integral part of a championship. Plus I'm not going to argue against a John Calipari point guard.
Also, from what I've heard there isn't a point guard in the top 20 projected players in next year's draft. Does anyone know if this is still true? Last I saw this was about two weeks ago.
