NBA ROLE: SCORING COMBO GUARD
Brandon Knight: a combo guard in the truest of forms; Knight puts defenders on their heels with a bullseye J, strong finishing ability near the basket – loves going hard w/ his right – and drive & kick game; natural ball-handler & scorer, though Brandon falls in love with deep jumpers if the first couple fall; one the league’s best ‘stop & go’ guards at his peak, underrated ‘rock up, shoot’ attack – will bide time, then blow by if the D is lax or cross & fire step backs; needs to improve playmaking & shot selection; dealt to Pistons (2020) – additional shot creator/second unit scorer
