Here is what Hoopsworld has to say about Brandon Knight

Brandon Knight At #3? There is no doubting the top player in the 2011 NBA Draft Class is Duke's Kyrie Irving. Arizona's Derrick Williams is without question the second-best player in the class, but the third-best player remains up for debate, or does it?

Sources near the teams with the top 5 picks say that as appealing as Enes Kanter may be and as impactful as Jonas Valanciunas may be in the NBA, Kentucky's Brandon Knight is the name everyone is talking about.

Knight was a 4.0 student at Kentucky and continues to impress teams everywhere he goes.

Sources say he is an almost virtual lock for Utah at #3, although his camp apparently has not gotten a firm commitment yet.

Knight is only working out for teams in the Top 10, although he may only need five workouts to be drafted.

Also on a side note, a Chad Ford's tweet:

Jazz workout on the 15th may be the only time Knight & Walker go head to head. Jazz pushing for it ...

Really sounded like the Jazz is deciding between the two... although they did not have Deron v. Chris Paul back then...

it's going to be Knight and Burks and I, for one, would be thrilled with that! Both can play both guard positions, athletic, and have crazy potential!

While I am very slowly warming up to Jimmer, I would love a Knight/Burks draft.

We would have talent at a lot of positions.

Harris/Knight
Hayward/Burks/Knight
AK/Hayward
Millsap/Favors
Jefferson/Memo

That is not too bad at all. Get a wing that can be our eventual starter next year and we have our starting five for a really long time.
 
Vesely pulled out of the Eurocamp combine thing and is refusing to workout for teams at all. He is only going to participate in an athletic testing June 17th. Basically, his agent doesn't want to show how bad he is at things like shooting,dribbiling,etc and are only showing his strengths (jumping and being long). I think that will hurt his stock a lot. He might drop to 12.
 
I'd still take Burks,Singleton,Marcus Morris,Klay Thomspon, and Jordan Hamilton before Vesely though.

If Memo is not back this lineup has very little shooting.

Right now he is playing in the Serbian finals. Might not real game action be a good way to scout him?
