We would get Dwill2 though...

No one thought Oden or Bowie would get injured. Hindsight is 20/20.
Is anyone saying Brandon Knight is the next MJ or Drexler or Durant? -- being a 6' 3" combo guard I think Knight's ceiling is lower.

I've been thinking the same thing...
I like either of them over Kanter.
Because we already have Favors and Jefferson. I see no reason to waste a pick on Kanter when we can get our PG of the future in Knight, then our defensive presence of the future in Jonas (even though I highly, highly doubt we will be able to get him, but hopefully Bismack drops to 12).
Now that we have the 3rd pick, everything opens up. There are so many options, especially if one takes the 'O'Conner's obsessed with Knight' rumor. I can't see Knight being drafted before 5 - if KOC wants Knight, he can trade down.
But what if we have a chance to land D-Will (KI goes 1, Kanter at 2?). So many options. It feels good. I doubt KOC is going to screw this up - we're definitely in the driver's seat.

Guess what, the team at 5 (Raptors) probably wants Knight too, so trading down to 5 isn't really an option if KOC thinks he is our guy.
Bismack is probably not there at 12. If both are still on the board though, we go with Biyombo.
Kanter the offense, Bismack the nasty! Now that is a dream draft!
In my perfect dream world this is how our team would look in 4 years,
C- Jonas Valanciunas (defensive/rebounding//hustle monster much like Noah, only more athletic) Probably a 10 and 10 guy with 2 blocks
PF - Derrick Favors (absolute monster with the ability knock down the midrange and pound it inside) 28 and 10 guy
SF - 2012 draft pick or Hayward - Im guessing this person will be a monster because the 2012 draft is stocked with SF/SG who all look very promising
SG- 2012 draft pick or Hayward (by this time Hayward will be the ultimate glue player, being a near automatic open shooter with all the intangibles) 15-5-5 guy
PG - Brandon Knight - (top 10 PG (all the PG's are going to be monster's by this time, so this is a supreme compliment) who is a knock down shooter and is our go to guy in clutch moments) 16 and 8
Millsap would be gone by now, along with Jefferson and Harris. Our bench will probably be completely re-tooled. The GS 2012 pick will surely be here along a couple of veterans/draft picks/ Jeremy Evans/ maybe even the ever popular CJ Miles.

enes kanter
best case: 23 - 12 player
some all-star nominees. elite big man. a franchise player. the sky is the limit. chance to achieve: 20 %
realistic case: 19 - 9 player
borderline all-star, maybe the one or other all-star nominee. a star player. one of the best big men. chance to achieve: 65 %
worst case: 15 - 8 player, third option on a very good team, even a starter or sixth man for a contendig team. a core player who is quite important for his team. chance to achieve: 15 %
those predictions are based on the average nba team (8th seed in the conference).

Favors will never, ever average 28 in this league, never. Why not Kanter? He could average 20 and 10.

Yeah, its kind of a stretch averaging 28, but you never know. His body reminds me of Malone, if only he can get his skills there.
And just as importantly get a PG who can get him the rock, another reason not to draft Kanter in favor of Knight.

Valanciunas looks awful.
Awfully nasty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dp7QN2K7g4
I agree. I cant figure out the Noah comparo at all..........looks like the definition of 'milk toast'.
