Pitino sees him as anoher Raef LaFrentz.  How is his game?  Does anybody
know?


He has pretty good mobility & a good short range jumper, but is not a big
physical player, but with some weight training, you never know.

As someone else mentioned at $3M a year if he can give you 15/10 he would
be a decent find unless he just can't defend.

What I wonder if Pitino was interested in Knight , why the drafting of Ben
Pepper ?  Could Knight's signing be just to package him & someone else to a
team needing a center like Denver for McDyess ?  I doubt it, but who knows.
