If you read what Mike DeCourcy said yesterday about Brandon Knight being a bust in the NBA, then I am sure you will enjoy this polar opposite opinion of the NBA director of scouting Ryan Blake.
John Calipari has a comment too.

“I like what he did as a young leader at Kentucky,” Blake said, adding that
Knight plays hard at both ends of the court. “I like when he made crucial
mistakes, the way he bounced back. I like the way he made clutch shots and
opportunities for others. You want that in a point guard.”
Knight, who once rallied Pine Crest from 11 points down with two and a half
minutes left in a state tournament game, hit the game-winning shot against
Princeton and Ohio State in the 2011 NCAA Tournament as well as key shots late
against North Carolina.
“He’s going to be one of those guys that just keeps getting better and better
and all of a sudden you turn around and he’s one of the better players in the
league,” Calipari said. “If you saw him in Hawaii (at the Maui Invitational),
you wouldn’t be saying he’ll be the third or fourth pick in the draft. And then
by the time the year is over, that’s what you’re saying.
“Early on, it was a struggle. It really was. But now you’re looking at him
and you’re saying, ’Wow, this kid is really special.’ ”

Pretty unreal that DeCourcy would say Knight is a bust…the kid has a 4.0 and gets pissed when he gets a low A on a paper…. You really don’t think that will carry over??
