“I think he’s the closest thing to Isiah Thomas"
As long as he is talking about the older one and not the one playing for Washington!Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

whoa, Isiah Thomas...thats pretty high praise
I would hope that Irving can be 'among' the top point guards in approx 3 years, (ie. be on their level on any given night but not the outright best).
Rose
Paul
DWill
Westbrook
Wall
Rondo
If you could see Irving in that mix, then he is the 1st overall pick. Because as has been said, its a point guards league right now.

But you know what.. another PG out of Kentucky, Brandon Knight is slowly starting to impress me more and more. His game against WV today just sealed it. Dude is clutch and going to be a Top PG in the NBA. Book it.
And if he's anything like Wall or Rose, then we should get on that.

I don't know if I'd say he's going to be a elite PG but he seems like he'll certainly be pretty great. Only issue is you'd need a point forward type player since Knight is much more of a scorer than the type of PG to manage a game.@sweatpantsjer

I was thinking the same thing about Brandon Knight. He is big, long arms, great defender, and can knock down big shots. Whats not to like? If you cant have a Rose/Wall....he's exactly the kind of PG you want to have. Because he can at least defend them, and also provide the 3pt shot.
BC traded that late Miami pick for Johnson, but people around here have suggested that he could have tried to package that pick with something and to get a second pick in the mid-1st round. I hope BC thoroughly looked into that and determined that it was not possible, because B-Knight is exactly the type of player that could've been targetted.
There's others too though....what if Kanter's knee scares off people and he drops to mid 1st round? Blair dropped even worse. Ed Davis dropped and he did not even have any serious injury.
Man BC better have tried to get a mid 1st round pick......

But ultimately you have to decide whether you think he is going to be among the top point guards or a tier below.
ie. is he going to be among those point guards I listed, or is he going to be among the 2nd-tier like Felton - Calderon - Louis Williams - Conley, etc.

If so I agree, because he doesn't have that game manager feel.
But that is also why he would be a great piece, if you're 1st pick would be Barnes or P.Jones.
If one of those guys became a superstar and your offense ran through the wing and presumably Bargs.....BKnight would be the perfect PG to complement that.

Take Tristan Thompson off the big board. He is going back to Texas next year.
