Knight's work out video with Kings

So, by the look of it, the worst-case for this kid is somewhere between Jrue Holiday and Devin Harris (but 19)? Can someone tell me how that isn't good?
 
If you guys think the Jazz don't need a backup pg that can hit the three, and is big enough to play a couple mins at sg next to Harris with potential to be an outstanding starring pg if not an allstar in a year or two is freaking crazy. Do the Jazz need Knight? Absolutely. Do they need him more than Kantor? I don't know, only KOC knows because he is the only one that has sort of seen him play.
 
I like this kid. He should be fine. Dribbling through human pylons in a practice gym seals the deal for me.

Easy now, the one tall guy put his arms up a couple of times.

What is the motivation is to release such a video? Kings pick 5 right? The video was cut a lot, and in the uncut episodes, Knighted missed only 2 2pters and 2 3ptrs (with that tenacious D) and then all other episodes were made shots - thats good. (But many were pylon-avoiding layups and dunks.) I guess the only reason to do that video is to deliver something to your starving fans - a nugget of info during the off-season. It was a worthless 3 mins of the evaluation. (Could be valuable to see if he could catch on to run the plays asked of him, or to get him warmed up, but ther was not anything more noteworthy than that.) I'll bet a good portion of the JazzFanz Nation would hit that many shots in a pylon D situation. (Sorry if i shoudn't have contorted a Harpring one-liner.)
 
These videos are worth slightly more than a highlights package because of the lack of cuts (in contrast). I appreciate the Kings probably for this sole reason.

They are picking no.7 actually so no way he will slide to them.

I like Knight but I wouldn't take him at 3. I think he is a younger Devin Harris.

That might be a good thing. Harris was an all-star with Dallas and his game has declined a bit since then. If Knight could come in and play all-star quality ball in 3 years or so, just as Favors and Hayward are starting to become (or have become) real forces at their positions...that would be a pretty lethal 1-2-4. Just find a SF and Jefferson would probably be sufficient at the 5, especially if Favors continues to develop a top-rate defeensive game.
