Can anyone slow down Brandon Knight?
The jury is still out on whether Knight can become a reliable point guard on a playoff-caliber team, but there's denying his recent fantasy impact.
Knight is on an absolute tear of late, averaging 25.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 3.8 3-pointers over the past four games. Maybe most impressive, though, is his 20-2 assist-to-turnover ratio over the past two games. That's an area that has been a major problem throughout Knight's three-year NBA career, and is even more impressive when you consider that he did it against one of the league's best defenses (Charlotte) and a rangy young defender (Michael Carter-Williams in Philadelphia).
These type of huge performances are the type that can carry your fantasy team to a weekly win, so for the time being it might be wise to resist the urge to sell high on Knight. Right now, it seems that the only thing that might slow down Knight would be an injury -- and he did deal with hamstring issues earlier in the season.
It's kind of a relief to read that Kemba wasn't the only PG that couldn't stop the Knight. I was almost concerned
And people thought that Kemba should have got player of the week?
Knights numbers eclipse Kemba's.
Except that the Bucks-Bobcats game was on Monday, which was part of a different week.
In the week in question, the Bucks were 1-2 and Knight shot below 50 percent over the three games (26-58), including 6-20 in a loss to the Cavs (as well as eight TOs in a loss to the Knicks). Bobcats were 3-1 and Kemba had a buzzer beater.
I'm not upset about Wade winning, for the record. Big day in a big game vs Indiana.
