Yup, Kemba's playing the off-guard role but then again, Kemba has played like a SG for most of the season.

Looks like he's playing the point to me. It's just that Liggins is a better defender.

Kemba shows some nice speed in transition.

nice sequence by Jones there

Walker with the cough up and T Jones finally seems to be back to form.

Neither of the PG prospect looking any good lol.
I like Jeremy Lamb and Terrence Jones though

What does that mean for us, if one of our undersized PG prospects has played SG all year?

i also think the difference btw kemba and knight is the fact kemba has the will to carry his team with virtually no supporting cast, that says a lot in terms of his determination to win.

Knight sucking ass

Knights length is giving Kemba some trouble....

Outside of Kendall Marshall this season most of these "PG" prospects seem to be of the shoot-first variety.

Although Irving seems to have a nice blend of everything but then again, that's why he's going #1.

He's a point guard, but he's been forced to play the SG at times this year. He still has more assists than Knight and Irving though. He's playing point right now as well.

I've said this already, but I think Kemba's light years ahead of Knight on offense.

I envision a lot more of that once he gets to the L. :wink:

Nobody can stay with Walker in transition.

Two years more experience in college will do that

"light years" is a serious exaggeration but anyway, we're comparing a Junior to a Frosh so that comment should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.

The basket's size is giving Knight some trouble

Yeah, Knight looks like a SG being forced to play point. Kemba is the opposite. A PG being forced to play SG.

Reignman · Post #179 » by **Reignman** » Sun Apr 3, 2011 1:25 am

Knight with the no look inside dish. It's funny the things you can do when you're a 6'4" PG.

Post #180 » by **5DOM** » Sun Apr 3, 2011 1:25 am

Knight's game is basically like DeRozan's except without the consistency.
