Apparently Walker has knee issues:
UConn guard Kemba Walker has a minor knee issue that is causing concern with draft approaching, sources say.

Bayless had a FG% of 45.8% and 3FG% of 40.7%. Knight's had a FG% 42.3% and 37.7% 3FG%. Bayless' pure point rating: -0.85. Knight's is -1.10. Bayless, at 25.3% also a had slightly higher usage rate than Knight, 24.3%. Knight's a lot longer and beat him in the lane agility, but Bayless is a much better ball handler, and can jumper a bit higher. But their measurements, again are alike. (All of this is from DE.)
Kemba's much more like Ford/Lawson. And he was FORCED into a scoring role, using 30.7% of Uconn's possessions. That's KD/Westbrook territory, it won't be remotely close to that in the NBA.

My personal opinion is that we still draft Kemba because he is the better player, safer, fits more of a need, and has similar potential.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

I just read an article that broke Knight down and out of all the NBA players their study showed that Knight most closely projects to be none other than our own Jerryd Bayless. I'll set the building on fire is they draft either of these guys. Their skills are much too redundant when compared to Bayless.

Walker is falling like a rock:
Consensus among sources is that Kings are leaning heavily toward Jimmer Fredette at No. 10 over Kemba Walker.

Its Knight. No matter what Kemba did in College, Knight has the physical attributes and shooting skills of a point guard and also being the youngest in this draft class he has the most potential. That said, my steal of the night will be whatever team takes Kemba. He is NBA ready and i can see him sliding down to #12 to the Jazz.

i've read so much draft rumours and spin in the last few days i'm not sure what I believe anymore. IF Kemba has knee problems then I think we draft Kanter Valanciunas Biyombo in that order.
