Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones Draft Stock


Bleacher Report takes a look at what players scouts are loving in the tournament.  About Brandon Knight they had the following to say:


Knight has the elite athleticism to be a top pick in the draft, but he hasn't put it all together this year. Coming into the year as a top-three recruit in the country, Knight was expected to lead Kentucky.

However, he has been inconsistent throughout and has seen his stock fall as a result. If Kentucky can make an Elite Eight run, Knight and company could be in for another historic first-round draft class.

Knight does have the new NBA point guard look, being a tall and strong guy that can handle the ball. He is extremely athletic and can blow by defenders at will. One more strength to his game may be his underrated defensive play.

The knock on Knight so far is that he plays his age. He is still a freshman and shows it almost every game. Knight also fades out of games too much. He was a non-factor versus Princeton until the last possession and then followed it up by dominating West Virginia.

Kentucky needs Knight to dominate if they want to be a Final Four team.
