A Night After Getting Dunked on, Brandon Knight Got Hurt and the Pistons Lost Again

All, NBA Jason McIntyre March 12th. 2013, 11:27am

Brandon Knight was the talk of the internet Sunday night when he got dunked on by DeAndre Jordan, and pretty much all of Monday, too (until NFL trades began happening).

In his first game AD (After DeAndre), Knight twisted his ankle early in the first quarter and didn’t return. So he didn’t get a chance to redeem himself – assuming he wanted to, not that he needed to – for Sunday’s night’s happenings.

The Utah win pushes the Jazz into an 8th place tie in the West with the Lakers (33-31). LA is in Orlando tonight.

Good. Keep losing. And shutdown Drummond and Monroe for the rest of the season. Lose the rest and we might be able to get into the top 5.

He sucks as a PG. Monroe, Stuckey and Knight for Cousins, Jimmer and Thomas.

Talented player with a good sense of humor … not having his best week.
Talented, but unfortunately he’s not a true PG or a SG. He’s somewhere in between.

And get whom, exactly? This draft is pretty weak isn’t it?

Cavs shutting down Fragile Iriving. We’re fighting for that #1 pick as well.

Right. He needs to be the classic Jason Terry type 3rd guard.

A guy like Otto Porter would be a great fit.

Seriously? Literally the NEXT play after the DeAndre dunk, he went right to the rack, got fouled, and made both FTs.

What kind of offense do the Pistons run? If you’re asking a combo guard to play in a traditional 1-2 set, then there are several issues at play.

He’s down for 3-4 weeks. At most he plays 8 games. Not sure if they bring him back to play 4 games.

Cavs and Pistons, both teams need either Porter or Olidapo. Hopefully the Pistons lose out.

Typical Lawrence Frank boring offense. The problem is Knight was projected to be a PG and it’s apparent he’s not. Slide him to SG and he’ll go 7 for 11 one night and 3 for 15 the next.

yeah they should go princeton style and you can make it work with 2 combo guards. he still a decent young player though. not the right match for him.

Can the kid play? If he can play, you live with that while he’s developing. Is he a knucklehead? Does he work hard? Those type of players get it figured out by the third year.

He’s just not a PG and doesn’t really have the size to be a 2 guard. He’s a small 6-3. Again, make him a Jason Terry type that plays 20-30 minutes off the bench depending on how hot he is.

Honestly wouldn’t mind drafting Marcus Smart either to be Detroit’s Harden and let Knight play Jeremy Lin’s role.

Cannot wait to land Olidipo in Detroit. I’ve watched him play a ton this year, and I am always impressed. But that’s just the eye test. How does he do against the very best? 8 games vs ranked foes: shot 59.8% 17.6 points, 6.9 rebs, 1.6 asts, 2.4 steals 1 block per game. IU was 7-1 in those games
Please draft him

Jason Terry was the starting point on a team that went to the Finals.
