Kemba is UCONN's version of Mateen Cleaves.

A nice winner at the college level.

Complete disaster at the pro level.

I don't see why Knight is drastically better than Walker. Walker had better numbers. His team was better. Why would he be a disaster and Knight be a stud?

Also Walker doesn't seem to have character issues like Cleaves did.

I picked Knight, but I do wonder. I know he hasn't played a single pro game yet, but Kemba reminds me quite a bit of a shorter DWade in his style of play. Both are physical, beat people from the perimeter on athleticism and determination rather than size, and can distribute but prefer to score. I just really worry about the fact that he is roughly 4 inches shorter.

Kemba isn't athletic (especially for the advantage he should have for being tiny), while Wade is an absolute freak and has a 6' 11" wingspan.
 
I admit to be a fan of Knight and am also very familiar with Kemba's game.

- Knight is athletic, but he hasn't yet learned how to use it to his full advantage
- I disagree that Knight can get to where he wants to on the floor, but it will come quickly
- I agree he needs to get stronger with the left hand dribble
- If I were a contender NEXT YEAR I'd take Kemba. My opinion is Knight has a far higher ceiling and the work ethic to obtain it

Having said all that, I wouldn't CONSIDER taking either at 3 and doubt either are available at 12.

Westbrook is not a guy you want to be compared to right now, IMO.

My original post was mostly written with the intent to call Westbrook an epic chucker without straying too far off topic. I do agree that Knight has a lot to work on (left hand, decision making), but I wanted to point out that he has the tools (athleticism, work ethic, intelligence) to become a very good guard in this league.
 
I think 2 additional full years of college experience is a big deal. Kemba's perimeter shooting went down from his sophomore year to junior year and of all three years, he never shot 35% from college 3. I think you know a lot from that. Also, would you expect Knight to improve from his assist numbers from his freshman season to his sophomore season? Then to his junior season? Kemba as a junior had .3 more assists per game than did Knight as a freshman.

Wow you are really picky. 33.9 down to 33 is huge difference. Two more made threes and he is exactly the same.
