OK, I stink at this.

What defensive billing? He was a turnstyle with the Bucks.“I definitely feel more into it this year,” Knight said after spending much of the offseason in Phoenix with teammates and athletic trainers. “Healthy. Just spending a lot of time off the court being with the guys. That helps.”
Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough said Knight looked better in voluntary workouts than at any time since joining the Suns. Knight was an explosive scorer at times but had not lived up to his defensive billing. Looking stronger now, he appears better equipped physically to press ball-handlers.
He certainly did do that.“If not there, he’s really close,” McDonough said of Knight’s health. “He looks more like that guy.
“Last year, he settled a lot for jab stepbacks (jump shots) and things like that just because he didn’t feel like he had the burst to get to the paint, get to the free-throw line, absorb contact, bounce back up without potentially aggravating an injury.”

Brandon Knight looks his best as a Sun.

All I can is:
Shaka, when the walls fell.
If we won games with Knight coming off the bench, I think he'd have to be the favorite for 6MOY. I remember he came off the bench for a couple games last year - the first of which was against the Jazz. He had 26 points that night. Since he's not really a PG and not really an SG, I think it makes sense for him to come off the bench, where he can go off against lower-quality guards and be the focal point of the offense. My biggest concern with the arrangement is that it's likely (IMO) that Tyson also comes off the bench, and Brandon and Tyson have the opposite of chemistry.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:I don't love Knight's fit here, but it'd be silly not to be rooting for him to succeed. He has a lot of talent, and it seems like if he were used in the right way he could be a productive rotation player. I really hope he can warm to coming off the bench and being our microwave. And he's great insurance in case Bledsoe misses some games, which honestly is pretty likely to happen. And on any given night, if he's scorching hot and Bledsoe is off, they can adjust their minutes accordingly. That's a really valuable overall role if he will just embrace it.
Maybe Tyson spent the summer learning how to catch lobs off the top corner of the backboard.OE32 wrote:If we won games with Knight coming off the bench, I think he'd have to be the favorite for 6MOY.

I would add the most recent one as well. I think it was really well done. It felt a like like an old TOS episode.The Bobster wrote:2-4, 6 and First Contact.

."That's the starting lineup for the season," Watson said. "We're not wasting time. We're not lingering with inner-competition.
"Brandon Knight is not a bench player. He's a starter in this league. He's sacrificed the most for our group. He took it like the pro he is because he understands the opportunity that we have to be special. Do players like coming off the bench? No, and we embrace that. That's the inner-competitive nature that we need."
Knight declined an interview request after Monday's shootaround
I've been turned off by how little it has taken for some to gush over Watson, but this move really impresses me. I love it.ShelC wrote:http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... c80674337a

I feel like it's only a matter of time, but hoping for the best.
