Highlights:

There weren’t many Brandon Knight highlights from his time in Phoenix (or “Knightlights,” if you will), but he did show flashes of potential every now and then, even in such a limited sample size.

In his first game with the Suns, Knight only scored 13 points, but he went 6-for-12 from the field and dished out five assists. Two nights later in Boston, he dropped 20 points and four dimes. Sure, it took him 19 shots to get his 20, and yeah, maybe he fouled out of the game with four turnovers in a loss, but it wasn’t a terrible performance considering he still hadn’t had a practice with the team at that point.

Knight mostly struggled from then on, but his best game with the Suns came in a road win over the Orlando Magic. Finishing with 28 points, seven assists and three steals, Knight played a big role in a game Phoenix couldn’t afford to lose. He went 7-for-15 from the floor, 4-for-9 from downtown and looked good in transition as well:

Other than that, the pickings are pretty slim are far as Brandon Knight Suns highlights are concerned. But since the guy only played 11 games for Phoenix and spent most of his time just trying to blend in, that’s to be expected.

“It has been a process since I got here from start to finish,” Knight said. “I started to get comfortable but things went how they went. That’s what the offseason is for to get better and prepared and having a full summer and training camp we have some special things to look forward to next year.”
