Brandon Knight vs Austin Rivers on ESPN2

  • Azubuike24
    Arguably the top PG's in the 2010 and 2011 respective classes (Josh Selby and Marquis Teague might disagree) going at it tonight.

    I have to say, both are VERY impressive. I tend to not be impressed with high school players, but these guys are standouts.

    Brandon Knight actually reminds me of Kobe Bryant, which is saying a lot, and although Knight is only 6'3 or 6'4, he's got mad skill. If he comes to Kentucky, him and Eric Bledsoe in the backcourt might be the equivalent of Wall and Bledsoe (both as Freshman).

    As for Rivers, the kid is already great, and will only continue to get better. Florida has a real gem here (along with Beal, the top SG in the class) and possibly Boynton and Walker in 2011, wow. Hopefully Rivers stays with Florida.

    Definitely hope Rivers stays with Florida. Don't want any part of him in a Duke uniform.

    Both he and Knight of been very impressive tonight.

    41 for Rivers and 48 for Knight. Unreal.

    I watched about 15 minutes, and Rivers looked MUCH better than Knight.

    It could have been due to a weaker supporting cast, but Knight looked like he was trying to do too much the entire time I was watching.

    Knight is definitely on a poor team. He essentially has to go 1 on 5 the entire game. I think that made Rivers look better.
