Knight is just a weirdo player.

4.0 GPA
but makes bonehead plays all the time

sometimes he's curry
sometimes he's old kobe clanking non-stop

he shoots too much
booker shoots too little.

we better find a compromise here.

Nah man look at those stats though!!!! Plus he's only 24 years old!!

Lol that's the only argument I get for Knight in one of the other threads.

I said this before but I will say it again. The thought of a pass first point guard on this team is very exciting. Add a player like that to Booker, Warren, and Len/Chandler and this team would do a 180. Who is available? Does anyone know? Trades, free agents, whatever.

I was thinking about tweeting him...not in the "YOU SUCK" manner which I'm sure many would love to say, but more in the "hey, you are a pg with good weapons around you....pass and make them better and show you really ARE a pg"

Great loss if there's such a thing. Warren played outstanding against the 2nd best player on the planet. Tucker and Chandler were really freaking good increasing their trade value.

A great way to close this year, thanks Suns!

Nah. Dont bombard Knights twitter thats bush league.

He has value for the suns and will fit a team looking for his strength. No need to go bush league by making someones new years worse by heckling him.

Knight is someone I really wanna root for because he's a soft spoken down to earth guy who helps out in the community. But I just loathe his presence on the court.

Btw, much better coaching tonight from Hornacek. Tightened rotation and played the right guys. It is not his fault Knight is a moron.

Kendall Marshall? I think the only way is to draft one, but we are tied into Knight and Bledsoe for so long I don't know if either is tradeable either. The funny thing is, most of our team are very willing passers....and it's the point guards who seem to like to pass the least....sure they may avg the most, but if you were to look at time holding the ball + shots vs assists, they would both rank last or close to it I bet.

You're probably right.

I think Knight is just following orders half the time.
Sometimes he just doesnt realize he opens up better shots for team mates when he attacks the rim..

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just a tiny better play from him we win, with VERY young guys, and same thing with Detroit and Memphis games where Knight single handedly blew it.

Problem is he's been one of the worst finishers statistically for the most part of his career. His points per drive has been below league average t he last couple of seasons. Thats why he is easily rattled and settles for ill advised contested long 2s when the shotclock is expiring because he doesn't think he can finish through contact

It's really kind of inexplicable that he is so smart, but so clumsy. I think he just needs to realize some things about his game. Maybe he becomes wiser in time, but he is not Kobe and never will be, and I hate Kobe.

We've got the longest losing streak going on right now in the whole league. I wonder when McD's going to make a move.

On the bright side, well at least for me, I'm glad we are getting a high pick :D
