I sometimes forget how young Brandon Knight is (just 24). I act like he's a grade-A knucklehead chucker who needs to be shipped out, but he actually may still have room to grow and improve. If he would only learn to look for his teammates a bit more, he'd be such a useful piece for us.

Plus, he's a smart dude. I keep hoping it clicks for him at some point.

That's the thing. He is a smart guy. Every interview I've watched of him, he comes across as extremely cognitive. Either he's just selfish by nature and won't learn or just hasn't learned yet to trust his teammates that stems from some vendetta from being traded here or being benched.

He just forces his game too much. He needs to slow down and play team ball.

There's also not much correlation between book smarts and hoops IQ.

What does Brandon Knight do well?

I think this is the deal. I think he just doesn't "see" or understand what is happening on the court beyond the 1 on 1 and drawn up plays.
