The Suns mark the third fanbase in a row that has turned on Brandon Knight. I don’t know if it had already happened by the end of last year, but at the beginning of this year they were vocal about their displeasure with him. The Suns needed a passing point guard, and instead they got a guy who is basically the same as Eric Bledsoe. Sure, he passes sometimes. But only rarely is it a good pass that leads to an easy opportunity for a teammate.
If a team is going to find success with Knight on their roster, they might have to make the bold move of playing him off the bench. The “6th man maniac chucker” role isn’t as widely-utilized as in the past, but I bet Knight could be the one to popularize it again. He’s shown that he can shoot shots and sometimes make shots. Perfect!
