Just because your fast doesn't mean you know how to drive and penetrate. He is all right hand and averaged less than 5 assist a game. Knight was a liability on defense all year and he is only one year younger than Kemba Walker.

Umm Kemba is 21, Knight is 18. Clearly you haven't read any of this thread, nor do you know anything about Knight. You don't like him? Okay, but using entirely inaccurate and misleading data to back up your opinion isn't doing you any good. Knight has his flaws, but he's right on par if not better than many of the top point guards in the NBA today were in their freshman year of college. I'm not saying he's going to be a top NBA point guard, but to discredit him because he only averaged 4.2 assists (more than Rondo, Nash, Westbrook and on par with Williams, Rose and several other NBA pg's) and bashing his defense (entirely false) and lack of a left hand (okay, but it got better) without recognizing his clear improvement over the course of the season, the fact that he's still just an 18 year old kid (for another 6 months) that LED his team to a Final Four appearance, is absolutely ridiculous. Come back when you've done some research of your own. Come on, don't let your bias lead your argument.

And FWIW, I'd probably take Kanter with the knowledge that we're going to move a current big, even if I like Knight better right now.
 
Question for everyone - Would you take the point guard John Wall picked number 2 in the previous draft ahead of Kanter with the number 3 pick this year? After you have answered that question read below:




Brandon Knight Bandwagon Thread. John Wall Stats Compared

by JazzD15 on Sun May 22, 2011 4:35 am
I was just looking at stats and found them interesting. They both played one year at Kentucky then declared.

John Wall:

Pts: 16.6
2P%: 50.9
3P%: 32.5
FT%: 75.4
Asts: 6.5
TO's: 4.0

Brandon Knight:

Pts: 17.3
2P%: 46.1
3P%: 37.7
FT%: 79.5
Asts: 4.2
TO's: 3.2

Just food for thought.
 
Don't even know where to start. Wall was picked 1, not 2. Yes, I'd pick Wall 399 days per year ahead of everyone in this draft. The stats mean ZERO. I've watched every UK game since 1977 ... it's apples and oranges .. even one year to the next.
 
I bow to your superior knowledge of the players, having seen them live. Thats what I get for using someone elses post from another site. lol
 
Just read this. Knight is a year older than thought. Kanter is about a year and a half younger than him.

From Ryan Feldman's twitter:
For those who didn't know, Brandon Knight confirmed he was born in Dec. 1991, so he is 19 yrs old. Most thought he was 18, born in 92.

Thanks for confirming that. Draft Express had it wrong I guess.

If true, this is a pretty massive difference, IMO. Part of the appeal of Knight was getting someone so young. He's still quite young, but I personally think the year between 18 and 19 is one of the biggest.

A year between 18 and 19 which Kanter didn't play in any competitive games.
