Knight was a bucket getter. So to be a bucket getter. You gotta be pretty athletic imo.
The reason he was a bucket getter is this
Everytime he tried to drive he would get bumped off his line and pull up. He never got around his man but was great at mid range jump shot

You are probably right. But I admit, there's just something about Pierre that I really like. He seems to have that "it" factor. Yates shoots the 3 ball at a slightly higher percentage, but Pierre seems to do everything really well. He has quickness, explosiveness, athleticism and versatility. His skill set and attributes are like equal parts Brandon Knight and Derek Anderson. He's a player I'd just really love to have.
My sentiments exactly. He has an "it" factor.
The Wicked comment tells me it's Kansas. 😪

Not elite level. But still was pretty damn athletic. He got bumped alot, cause just like the nba career. Not strong enough. But he wasn't easy to guard when he was healthy.

I didn't say he wasn't good. He wasn't fast at all
That's what I disagree about. I say this because I watched a few condensed games last night of the 2011 season. He was faster and quicker than Harrison, SGA, HARROW, Briscoe, Ulis, Hagans, Askew lol, more explosive than the midget and Wagner. Go back and watch some of those games. If you still don't accept we can agree to disagree.

He was a tier below the absolute studs but a tier above those other guys for sure. SGA is deceptively fast because he is so smooth and uses change of pace more than just athleticism.

He wasn't anywhere near as fast as the guys you mentioned. That was the first time Cal had to start bringing jorts up to set a pick for him
He was a great player he was just not a great athlete

Brandon Knight was the least quick and explosive guard Cal had . He really was just an ok athlete
IMO Knight was slighly above middle of the pack re quickness & athleticism among UK pgs under Cal. Below Fox, Wall and Ullis, but above Quickley, Briscoe, Green, Askew and the like.

Knight's athleticism and overall impact here tend to be underrated. He was a baller & clutch during March.

Pierre does not seem like the type of kid who wants to be a piece on a title contending roster. It seems like he wants to be a ball-dominant kingpin who takes 18 shots a game on a crappy ACC roster.
I guess we shall find out.

Brother that's crazy. And the reason Jorts set picks is because Knight was a combo guard, more of a two. Liggins would move to the point. I beg you to go watched some condensed games of 2011.

No it's not. It's the absolute truth. I remember it plain as day being a issue in 2011
What does jorts setting picks have anything to do with him being a combo guard. He wasn't fast enough to get around his man in cals offense in 2011. That's the bottom line. I have watched old games several times.He could barely dunk the ball bro. I would still take him over almost anyone.
Flat footed or not

His final 4 is 3 SEC schools and SMU.
