Fantasy Basketball: Buy Or Sell, Phoenix Suns Edition
By Scott Chasen
Undecided: Brandon Knight
I must admit, at first I actually had Knight in the buy section and not the undecided area, but he’s staying here for one main reason: we don’t know how he’s going to work on the Suns.
Knight will have the minutes and the opportunity to produce this year, but he didn’t really show us anything in his brief stint with Phoenix last year; in 11 games, Knight averaged just 13.4 points and 4.5 assists per game, shooting worse than 36 percent from the field and 32 percent from three. However, the greater sample size of the last two years suggest he could be much more valuable than that, although his percentages aren’t great.
Overall, I wouldn’t advise someone against taking Knight. I think he could be a really solid addition to a fantasy team. However, his ADP may end up being a little too high to make him an absolute steal, especially considering he’s not going to snag a bunch of rebounds like Bledsoe. I really think he’ll go about where he belongs in fantasy drafts, and for that reason, he finishes off the undecided section of the article.
