Analysis:
Knight is as electric a player with the ball as we have ever seen. He has great one-on-one skills and control of the game as a point guard. When needed he can use his speed and change of direction to get into scoring position. You will never see Knight not playing at a high level or without great energy. His only downfall could be falling in love with ability to score; a problem he addressed in the McDonalds All-American game setting up teammates with regularity. In Coach Calipari’s system, Knight could be a fourth straight Top 5 Pick in 2011.
