HoopsHype: O'Conner enamored with Brandon Knight

Knight would be great if we had the 6th pick. But, remember this draft has three potentially great players Kanter, Williams, and Irving. After that there is a drop. Knight would be good if we could get another pick this year or next and with the 12 get Jimmer. Kanter will be a great pro his D is suspect. That is the problem with KOC he just doesn't get the whole GM job whatsoever.
 
no but I can see that Knight is not Dwill2. I think he falls in love with players and takes them higher then they should go all the time like Gordon Hayward, Eric Maynors, and Kosta Kufos. These are players that he could trade down to get. You don't get the #3 pick in the draft then go after maybe the 8 best player.

Gordon Hayward was drafted right about where he was projected. Koufos fell a LOT, and Maynor was a pick in the 20s and has played up to that draft position.

Usually arguments have examples that help, rather than hurt your argument.
 
Knight > Kanter

Knight seems like a low risk project to me. The guy has been called a gym rat, has a high IQ, is a good shooter, and already has a clutch gene. He just needs to learn the game a little more and get a bit stronger and he could be a top 10 PG.

OH and he turns 19 in December.

u cant be a contender without taking risks, if u wanna enter playoffs for next 5 yrs but being far from a contender as we were in the last 20 yrs, then pick knight over kanter
