Hard to see Knight as the #3 pick based on this analysis..

Where are they getting these odds? Knight has a one in four chance in succeeding? A one in three chance in failing? These seem like arbitrary numbers based on nothing in particular.
 
If you draft Knight you aren't drafting him because he had a stellar college season. You're drafting him because of the skills, size and athletic ability he possesses coupled with his intangibles. I am not saying he is the right pick. I am not saying he certainly isn't. He reminds me a lot of Jrue Holiday. Holiday struggled a lot in college because he was forced to be an 2 guard. Knight struggled a lot with the dribble drive offense. But 3 years later Holiday has developed into very good guard at the 1 and the 2.

Now in a normal draft, the number 3 pick will get you something much better than a player with intangibles potential and one poor college season. In this year's draft he might be the best available prospect.

I'd draft big with #3, likely a SF (or Jimmer) with #12, and seek out a PG in FA in the next year or two ... but I ain't very smart.
 
I've swung back to Kanter (with the possibility of later trading him for #5, 6, 7, etc., plus) and getting Biyombo with #12 or via a trade if he goes before #12. Then, I'd love it if we could buy a pick and get Jackson or Jenkins later on.

That's who I compare him to! He projects to be Jrue Holiday. I like Holiday but I would never pick him @3! Take the higher risk gamble on someone who has a higher ceiling. If you bust you're out a Jrue Holiday clone. So what.

No. Nba draft.net compares him to holiday and you just spit it back out. You have done this since we got this pick Pathetic actually.
 
Jrue Holiday's development as a PG was also hindered by the fact he had to play SG at UCLA. I think Knight's clearly more advanced than Holiday was at this stage in his career.

Dont lie. You called him terry before nbadraft.net added holiday to there comparison. You have admitted you have seen no more than 3 knight games. You are unqualified to make any comparisons to knight.

I don't remember calling him Terry. I know a lot of people have though. I'll give you a positive rep if you can find where I called him Terry.
