    CF is bipolar. Brandon Knight is neither "gold" nor sucky scrub. He WAS a solid player before his injury. The question for the present Knight is of course whether he will be back to full form. I know why people are skeptical about him. We have been burned multiple times by injured role players who would otherwise be very good for us but could never return to the same pre-injury level. So I'm kinda holding my breath to see how he will do.

    Which team in the NBA has a better 4th guard?

    Notwithstanding, we can afford to have the absolute worst 4th guard in the NBA because we have the NBA's best guard rotation preceding him.

    I don't understand how people can complain about this. If your 4th guard can do one single thing really well, you are lucky. If that guy is a bad starter - like Knight - and now he is going up against the worst players on opponents benches, you are absolutely gold. The worst starter in the NBA is more than capable of handling that.

    Which front office says that he is a bad player?

    He had four seasons averaging more than 17 points, shot better than 35% from 3, had around 5 assists per game. Nothing spectacular. But if that's not solid, please tell me what is.

    According to his stats. He's averaged 15pts his career. 17pts twice & 19pts once. Name one "low skill" player that's put up those type numbers. The only ppl with low bbiq are the fans who don't know what they're talking about

    I swear y’all can be annoying. Y’all were the same ones complaining that CP3 was going too hard in preseason and he needs to reserve his body for the playoffs, but now that he is not being as aggressive y’all want to complain and say we are stuck With his contract. Chill tf out and let CP3 reserve himself and pick and choose when he wants to go all out. It’s 5 games into the regular season!

    Exactly. Kiki knew CP3 needed some rest. Gave him 2 games so that he could come back and shoot 3/13 and dish out 5 TOs.

    The problem is Paul wants money and Tilman doesn't want to spend big money on others.

    The biggest flaw is that ALL 6 new additions are pitiful defenders.

    Good god. Quite a few low skill players YEARLY put up around 15 PPG. Terrence Jones in 2014 could've done 17 PPG with the right minutes.

    No good guard is a damn journey man and that's really all there is to it since you clearly can't see beyond his still mediocre boxscore stats.

    You still didn't give a logical explanation of ur "low skill", "low bbiq" post about a player who put up borderline allstar numbers when healthy. CLEARLY he must have some skill if he's able to avg 19pts a whole NBA season. If a guy like Hartenstein EVER put up 19pts a game, you guys would throw a party & declare him the best center in the league. Yet Knight has no skill? Ehh ok lol
