ANALYSIS: Knight was selected sixth overall in the G League draft this year in hopes of making an NBA comeback.

The 30-year old point guard averaged 21 points and 5.9 assists per game while making 3.1 out of 8.6 three point attempts.

Knight averaged 14.1 points and 4 assists per game in his career, though an ACL tear inhibited his development, keeping him out of the league since the 2019-20 season.
