I wanted UConn and Kentucky both to make it into the Final Four, so I could see Kemba Walker and Brandon Knight go head to head and also because I had both of them in my bracket too, but that is beside the point.

Both of them are top 10 picks right now, because they both lead their teams to the Final Four with some help and they are the second and third best point guards in the draft depending who you think is better bewteen Walker and Knight. Also to some they believe both of them are better than Kyrie Irving meaning they are the first and second best point guards.

They are similar players, but not really, Kemba is a bit undersized, a better scorer than Knight, and more of a true point guard. Knight has great size for a point guard, a great scorer just does it differently than Walker does, and is a point guard, but could play some shooting guard.

Realistically, I see the Utah Jazz taking Kemba Walker with the #6 pick and the Detroit Pistons taking Brandon Knight with the #7 pick or vice versa. The farthest one of these guys would drop is most likely #9 to the Charlotte Bobcats. Also, if Cleveland gets the #1 pick and decides to pick someone besides Kyrie Irving, I definitely could see them taking Walker or Knight depending if and who was available.

I can’t wait to see both of these guys play each other, should be a great game basketball wise, and a great game is you are a scout.

Kemba has a quicker first step and also faster with the ball, but Knight (considering as a freshman) his jumpshot is very close to Kemba who is a junior. Knight is a better shooter (in the long run) and has longer length but Kemba is the more explosive guard.

Kemba is electric at this level,but I’m not sold he can be that effective at the next level playing Pg full time, he’s not Allen Iverson he’s Kemba Walker…now on to Brandon Knight, he’s a guy I believed in from day 1, he’s my dark horse top 5 pick, he’ll be very effective playing any role he’s given year 1, wheiter it be starting pg, back up point guard or 6th man combo guard…I can’t say the same about Walker, he’s a guy I can see being successful as a backup pg or 6th man on certain teams…what team can really build a good team around Walker at point guard, now ask how many teams can build a winner around Knight…just saying…

The guy may not be a franchise player, but Kemba has alot of heart and work ethic, you combine that with his speed and quickness, I would be hard to press calling the guy as a scoring spark plug off the bench. He could be a starting NBA PG, he has the tools except for elite size.

kemba isn’t iverson but he’s at least raymond felton tylawson wich is nba starter. He’s carrying his team singlehandly to final four back ups don’t do that if he was product of good team id understand back up but he’s the sole reason there winning this big so he’s nba starter just wait and c.

I hope knight does better than last time because Kemba went to work on UK when they played them earlier this season. Knight played horribly. UK is a different team now since Josh is balling but T.Jones isnt playing as well as he was back then. I got UK in this one because im a fan

which player do you guys think Michael Jordan would pick if both guards were available to him assuming that the "Big Shots" (Irving, Williams, Barnes, and maybe Kanter) were already taken?  Both guards possess key qualities that MJ values such as having strong work ethics, killer instincts offensively and not being afraid to make the clutch play(s). I think he’d take Walker since he’s more polished and the pressure MJ has to win right now but it would seem like a great problem to have if it came down to choose Walker or Knight.

With Jordans track record with draft picks he would probably pick Larry Drew the third
