Greg Anthony's my man. Big fan of him. A true professional on the court. And shows Kenny how it's done with the mike in hand.

I can definitely see Knight succeeding in the league. Athletic PG's just look better in the NBA than college. They are given more room to operate and create for others. Rose and Westbrook's assists numbers were the same as Knight's in college and Knight has a higher PPG.

Man I wish Jalen Rose replaces Sir Charles`s job right now, can`t stand that fat donut talking.

Barkley is more suited for the NBA.

He's nowhere near as explosive as those guys though. He's a score-first PG who relies heavily on his jumpshot.

Jumping wise but his first step is just as good as the other two. Brandon already has a jumper unlike Rose and Westbrook coming into the league.

Knights got a really solid feel for the game, I didn't realize but he's also an honors student and a gym rat

Omg uh oh I'm slowly falling in love with him as a prospect :oops:

he cried when he got a b grade in math test during high school, he wanted an A

That 3 was the result of Knight's dribble drive

LOL, I would've cried tears of joy if I ever received a B.

I hate those kids, lol. Brandon Knight looks super tall. I wonder if he's just skinny which makes him look taller or if he's actually 6'4"-6'5". I'm still not sure about him with a top-5 though. But I will admit his ceiling is probably as high as anyone in this draft.

im starting to have my thumbs down for TJ this whole tourney, hes been absolutely a non factor non game changer like he was in the early season....wtf man i had high hopes for him as our pick too

andreavagnani · Post #176 » by **andreavagnani** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 3:23 am

Brandon Knights ceiling is Devin Harris. That Rose and Westbrook comparison is ridiculous. He's not even half as athletic as those guys and doesn't have the same instincts. He's not a great decision maker and has a poor shot selection. That could all change but there is no way he is a top 5 pick.

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #177 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 3:24 am

Doron Lamb is intriguing as an instant offence type of player

When I see Doron Lamb I think Daequan Cook.

I hate those kids who after a test, tell everyone that "omg I did so bad bla bla bla" and then the next day get the test back and get an A.
