John Wall says you shouldn't pressure Brandon Knight to be like John Wall because he's not John Wall, he's Brandon Knight

Back in town for Coach Cal's ProCamp, former UK point guard John Wall talked glowingly of his one-year home.  He also took a few moments to address the pressure that fans seem to be lumping on Brandon Knight and any comparisons to #11.  Here is what Wall told Mary Jo Perino:
"I hope people don't pressure him to do the same thing I did or be like me or anything like that," said the former UK point guard. "Just let him come in and play his game and be Brandon Knight. You know, that's the best he can do because when you try to make somebody play like somebody else and be in their situation that can mess up their confidence. Brandon is a talented enough player, he's smart in the classroom, so I'm not worried about that part so hopefully he can have a great freshman season."
Hopefully.
