he's a great prospuect but if you're looking for a pg, you're not going to find it in brandon knight.

you can't learn court vision while starting a career in the nba. it has to be developed by the time you're drafted.

it's so hard to find a proper comparison for him. he's like jason terry (he'll score). he can definitely shoot, but has more athleticism/driving game. also better defense.

derek harper is a dec comparison except harper still passed very well. he avg like 7 assists a game at one point. i don't see knight ever getting past 5 or 6.

On the Jazz I can't imagine a point guard NOT averaging at least 7 assists a game, unless he plays with blinders on like Devin Harris.

He averaged 4 apg on a college team that didn't have a big man that could catch the basketball.

He'll easily get up to the 7 apg range at the next level.

if sloan were still coaching i'd have a lot more faith in turning brandon knight's abilities into an excellent pg

if anything though, i'd love to see sloan coach someone like kemba walker who has an incredible motor in his game. they'd make a nasty combination.
