It's pretty easily Knight. Knight is having a better year efficiency-wise than any of Jennings' (that makes me sad for him), and this isn't even a good year FOR Jennings in that department. Plus, Jennings is a lot shorter and skinnier to make it tough for him to match-up with opposing point guards, let alone be a versatile defender like Knight.
Knight is a lot like a young Jason Terry. There is use for him in this league thanks to his shooting and decent defense contributions. He'll eventually win a lot of games somewhere in a supporting but sizable role, once he gets off teams that need him to be one of the biggest reasons why they are successful. Whereas Jennings' teams will probably always be dissatisfying because he's not useful to an albatross in every role. He might be on a team that wins a lot of games if he's eating popcorn at the end of the bench like Marbury when he was with the Celtics briefly at the end of his career.

Re: Better player this year out of Jennings and Knight?
Knight is a poorer passer, poorer ball handler, better athlete, better shooter, way better finisher, smarter, nicer, and more professional when compared with Jennings. I'll take Knight. And that's before Dum(b)ars threw in Middleton. What a **** idiot.
The Bulls are the absolute worst.

Re: Better player this year out of Jennings and Knight?
If you needed one to run your offense it's sadly still Jennings and not close. Knight has a place on the right team as Derrick Fisher though. I'm going to pass on the actual question. Shades of **** comparison as to this season.

Re: Better player this year out of Jennings and Knight?
I think both are just rotation players in this league, not starters. Jennings because he is a scoring PG who can't shoot a lick and Knight is simply an undersized SG.
Jennings is a better PG and better passer. Knight has much better character, is a better shooter and defender.
I think its pretty easy to say that we won the trade when you consider Middleton. For me I would have traded Jennings straight up for Knight alone. Jennings is not an 8M per year player. Way too much to invest. And I don't like his character at all.

Re: Better player this year out of Jennings and Knight?
More than a few advanced metrics have Jennings as one of the worst players in the entire league. Philly bad.
Knight is not that.

They both may be chuckers, but Jennings only plays when he wants to. Hands down the Bucks won with Middleton and Knight.

Re: Better player this year out of Jennings and Knight?
WHAT?! How is this even a legit question???!!! Knight is 100x's the player Jennings is, then once you take into account their personalities it's a no brainer. IMO

Wow, Knight is younger than MCW?
Looked it up, 2 months younger. Same year in school. That puts them in perspective.
