And Knight Vs Walker, hooray!

I think Kemba is the better player right now and I'd expect it to show. As far as the NBA though, you can't deny the potential of Brandon Knight.

Damn, I think B Knight could become a top 5 pick. Maybe I'm crazy.

I guess MJ is not going to give them any shoes then

BC better have front row seats.

Knight controlled the game from start to finish, he is a fantastic prospect and only a freshman. That is what is most important. Knight is a cant miss prospect, displaying a great level of talent and ability to perform under pressure. Right now Knight is clearly a better prospect than Walker in every way , from size , to skill , to age. Great young player.

I think he could be a top 3 pick and we could get screwed by this run

Knight. Lot of good SF next year not so much this year.

Knight is quite inconsistent, although he can hit the big shots i don't think he'll replicate this performance against UConn while Kemba on the other hand has been doing this all year, that said Knight is still the better prospect

Well this totally messes up my sig... Wasn't too long ago when Knight was considered a mid-round pick.

I'd rather have Knight, but at least we get to see Walker and Knight face off now.

Knight with 22/7/4 3 steals. Back to back clutch performances against Ohio State and North Carolina, two of the hottest teams to end the regular season.

A bigger question now is: Does Harrison Barnes declare for the draft? We've heard that he's been leaning towards staying or that it's been 50/50 all year.

Does this loss tip the scale one way or the other?

I wouldn't say Knight is better in terms of skill just yet. He's better in terms of size and age and potential for now.

i've been wrong in the past on a variety of topics but banking on Barnes wasn't one of them.

Forget Black Falcon, call him The Closer.

calm down... he looks okay but still not incredible. He had a nice run down the clutch and also had some ugly moments throughout the game and also in the end.

Reef · Post #818 » by **Reef** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:11 pm

Can Knight break guys down off the dribble? I just saw him mostly catch and shoot and lead the fast break. I know the system is partly to blame for that.

Knight is looking great I must say. Calipari has an eye for PG's Rod Strickland is also a guy we should be taking our hat off to. Knight is starting to control the game similar to how Rod did in the NBA.

He broke his man down in the game winning shots against Princeton and Ohio State.
