Brandon Knight

What strikes me about Brandon Knight is the arc from prodigy to journeyman, and how much respect that arc deserves. A two-time Gatorade National Player of the Year out of Florida, one electric season at Kentucky, then a 2011 lottery pick, he tasted the very top early. The stops in Detroit and Milwaukee, and later overseas in Puerto Rico's BSN, tell a story of someone who kept lacing up wherever the game took him. I find that kind of persistence far more compelling than uninterrupted stardom. Knight's career is a reminder that loving the game outlasts the spotlight, and that quiet endurance is its own form of greatness.
