Height: 6'4"

Weight: 177 lbs.

Position: PG/SG

Age: 19

Comparison: Tyreke Evans/Jason Terry

John Calipari has sent four freshmen point guards to the NBA in the last three years. Athletically, Knight is similar to those guys, but he's a better outside shooter than any of them.

He really showed off that ability against North Carolina in the Elite Eight.

Knight's stock has been rising steadily over the last severalweeks, and some are starting to think he may end up being the best point guard from this draft.

If he falls all the way to No. 5, I'm sure Toronto would be excited. He and DeMar DeRozan could develop into a fantastic backcourt duo.
