Hmmmm… I’m not sure I buy that excuse. The same coach developed his star PGs differently, resulting in Knight underperforming Evans, Rose and Wall in college?…not likely. I think a better explanation might be that Knight just wasn’t as talented as Evens, Rose and Wall, in college.

haha just kidding around mate..
I have no doubt the knight has the tools to be a very good starter in the league and that’s all that matters right now.
I don’t see him contending for Rookie of the year though as he won’t get the minutes.
we have too many guards atm and other rookies will see more court time.

Come on, you gotta think highly of our players…You don’t think BK has enough to win rookie of the year?

True, but Detroit fans are desperate for something, which brings the expectations a little higher than most.

Well, he was taken with a mid-lottery pick. So at least he shouldn’t be judged on overly high expectations.

unfortunately there’s going to be a lot of pressure on the kid whenever the next season starts. A high lottery pick will always carry those expectations.
But i hope he gets the time to make those rookie mistakes and learn his game. that could take a long time but he seems to have all the tools to be a great player.
watching Monroe develop after his relatively slow start was easily the highlight of last season, and I’m hoping for something similar with Knight.
