First of all Vaughn could school Knight any time aand any day. Knight is
truly overrated and will take longer to develop in the NBA, in addition I
think the Celtics should consider Vaughn for that Dallas Pick because he
sees the floor well, runs the floor well, and his job is not to score but
to create action on the floor.
