First, I have never been that guy that felt Knox to UNC was ever going top happen, bet there is a set of coaches in Durham really pissed off over this one! Don't get me wrong, glad he didn't commit to duke, he would have fit what duke needed for next season.
Knox and UNC, was not a great fit, meaning I did not feel KNox would have brought us much of a net sum gain. Not a knock on the kids talent, he is very talented but it would have been tricky to start him at the 3 when that is Theo's more natural position and maybe BRob's as well. Knox is not a knock down jump shooter, he is a big guy that puts the ball on theny and Jalek at floor really well and a strong finisher. Not saying he can't shoot, saying it is not his strength, shot like 35% from trey as a senior, not bad but not exactly knock down either. Now it is easy for us, start Theo at the 3 backed up by Brob, Kenny & Jalek at the 2, nice 2-3 rotation.
What baffles me is him picking Ky, I mean they have PJ and Vanderbilt, basically they already 2 other replicas of this kid, total joke to really think this kid will be a 2 guard at Ky. No, this kid will absolutely play, the riding the pines comments are sour grapes guys, he will play but this kid, like PJ and Vandy are power forwards that do not want to accept they are. Now if they get Bamba that will be yet another 4, maybe they can let Bamba run the point...
