Anyway, I don't hate Kemba at all, he's a great player, just stating my preference.

You prefer Knight and other people are giving their honest opinions about Knight so why are you 'smh' and 'loling' at their opinions?

For Knight, second time in the tournament he's had a poor game but hit the game winning shot.

Well, I think Brandon Knight has proven he has balls of steel. I can't wait to see UNC versus Kentucky. It's gonna be a goodie!!!

Knight would be a sweet fit beside Tyreke.

Not impressed with Knight or Jones.

Sullinger will be "useful" in the NBA because of his size.

Irving & Derrick Williams are the best prospects in this draft. I think they'll be 1 & 2. Maybe Harrison Barnes after that.

Picking 4th will be tough. Maybe you go with Perry Jones or Jonas V because of their "upside".

I still like Kemba if we are picking 5th or later.

It's too bad Kanter wasn't able to show his stuff this season.

Kemba has 8 game winning baskets this year.

I didn't disagree with their opinions and even criticisms, I just took issue with his dismissal of him being an option @ 5. I admit I should have expressed that better.

Anyway, I'm still not sure about Sullinger. He puts up the numbers but there a number of red flags that say he'll struggle to do some of the same things at the next level.

And my opinions on T. Jones have definitely taken a dive this past few weeks. I heard that the more you watch of him, the less impressed you are, and I think that's very true.

Watch everybody jump up on the Knight bandwagon now. Im telling you guys, hes 18 years old,6'3, good shooter and can create for others. Great work ethic and head on his shoulders. Hes also clutch!. We need to seriously consider him at 5.

What makes a guy like Irving so much better then Knight? Knight was a great high school player too. Knight has done more in college then kyrie has too.

I like Knight and that was **** nice, but he really didn't have a good game.
9 points, 3/10 FG (1/6 3FG), 4AST, 6 TO

I didn't say anything about Kemba bro. All I'm saying is Brandon Knight has shown a lot more than being just a hyped high school prospect without achieving anything in college.

fine guys, have knight drafted as number one pick for the cavs and raps drafting irving. im totally fine with that.

Knights game can translate well into the NBA I think, he has the speed and the shot to be a factor, especially when you consider the rules on fouling and how much less congested the lanes are in the NBA compared to the NCAA.

Knight definetley had a sub par game but hes clutch. Ohio state really focused in on him. Knight has been posting up much better numbers all year. Im really torn apart on who like more between Walker and Knight. Knight has better size and is younger though
