Brandon Knight - All-Star?

Only player in that trade I wish we kept was Middleton. Knight, I had hopes for but it became obvious he wouldn't be a good PG.

He has a qualifyin offer in which if he rejects he'll turn into a RFA and the bucks will most def match whatever offer he gets..

Knight in the other hand I hope he's on a new team by next yr;)

Brandon Knight is the major reason why that Bucks team is in playoff contention. He's having a career season. His number of mind numbing plays are decreasing...though they are still epic fails when he has them. He seems to be rounding into the standout young player he was reputed to be coming out of Kentucky. BK definitely gets my vote for all-star which is worth absolutely nothing. lol :lol:

I would interested to see if he stays with the Bucks. The fans seem not to like him, but he looks like something JKidd is trying to mold and is doing so successfully.

Bucks fans simply hate him because hes not listed at 6-4 or higher.

No one would have a problem with him if his listed position was "SG." But it is what it is I guessl

I would've said the inspired play by the up and coming star The Greek Freak was a major reason.

Credit where credit is due he has been scoring very well, but the man just does not know how to play PG properly. And for our team, it just would not work with him as our current PG.
Whoever said we lost the trade because of Middleton, was on the money IMO.
A mate and I were having a conversation the other day and he thinks Kyrie Irving is overrated as he doesn't get enough assists, BK is averaging the same as him.

I can respect you saying that the Greek Freak has played in an inspiring fashion; however, the engine that's been driving things has been BK. He was powering them as Jabari struggled, as Middleton was in and out of the starting lineup, and while the Freak was putting up pedestrian numbers.

Knight has been their most consistent player

Would be sweet if we could get Knight back to be our super sixth man backing up both PG and SG spots.

Its kinda funny that people want both BK and Middleton back, yet I think everyone is happy with Jennings, especially how he was playing pre injury.

Other than the fact that maybe we could've just signed Jennings as a FA, instead of the sign and trade, it looks like both teams fared pretty well in the trade.

Even with how Jennings was playing... I wish we could reverse the trade. Augustin has been putting up number like Jennings... and now even Lucas looks like he could put up eye-popping numbers given 35 minutes. Knight and KCP would make a nice defensive backcourt... Knight could shift over to SG when Augustin comes in.

Middleton is a lot better at everything than Singler is.

Knight is a good player, but I still feel he falls into that Jason Terry mold; best as a 6th man. He can't really run the point, isn't big enough to really defend 2's... but still good enough to deserve 28-30 mpg on a decent team.

For what we needed him to be he was a bad fit and Jennings (post-Smith) is a better starting PG. Still a shame we gave him away when we probably could have landed BJ regardless, but whatever. It's done.

Kris I never expected to be this good. Not that he's an All-Star or anything, but definitely an upgrade over Singler. Then again, so is pretty much everybody.
