That and his D wouldn't hold up against most starting PGs in the leauge. He'll get posted up and pushed around more than Muggsy Boges.

BTW it is spelt Bogues.

You make Knight look as though he is an incompetent defender, this guy lead the league in steals as a rookie and even though he is 5'10", he does have some strength and isn't a weakling. As for him getting posted up by felow PG's in the league, well there sure are a lot of them isn't there. There is Payton, Cassel and Kidd that do it and they are all at the ends of their careers.

Knight managed to average 9apg in under 30mpg on a team that has no real offensive threat. Just imagine what he could do with the likes of Dirk and Stack working for him, he could get 13apg quite easily. And before you start on the whole pick n roll thing, I will bet that AJ scraps the idea and will involve a PG much the same way that he run things in SA. AJ and Knight are in much of the same mould as players, but Knight with better passing skills and AJ with better leadership skills.

Our offence lack structure at times last year and having Knight here would resolve a lot of problems IMO. Dirk will improve his post game, but will still remain an inside-out guy. JHo and Marquis will be the runners w/o th ball and having Knight feeding them with backdoor cuts would be such a simple offence and would have a high level of productivity.

The whole reason Knight averaged such high assist totals was because he was the only ball handler on that whole roster (except for Jason Hart, who totalled high assists when he played..is Hart worthy of starting? no!) therefore he was passing so much

Our whole rosters sans our centers can bring the ball upcourt

I'm all for bringing Knight in, as a backup, as a starter, we'd screw up next season

Jet isn't our PG man and Harris isn't ready yet. MY idea of bringing Knight here is just for a season or two to help bring along Harris and fill the void of a genuine PG.

Harris is going to have to get ready because this is the time when he needs to turn into a solid NBA PG. Hopefully the summer league will build up his confidence again because last year was about as deflating as it could be for a young guy. I did not like the way they handled Devin last year. Starting him right away ( And he looked great at the begining ) then yanking him and not giving him much time. Then starting to give him more time then again yanking him and giving him next to nothing. These things can be killers on your confidence. I realize some of that was because of dumb plays he would make sometimes but he was a rookie and rookie PGs are going to do that.

If we could get Devin playing like he did for the first few games last year on a consistent basis he will be a great PG.

I think with Avery the way people are going to get on the floor is through the defensive end of the court. And I think Harris is going to have to work really hard defensively and not turn the ball over to get on the floor and stay there.
