What ’bout Brandon Knight he gets no love, the #1 rated player in the class of 2010 regardless if he is a soph, he deserves to be on one of these teams, He does everything well at 6′3 point guard he is better than A lot of the ballers on the teams. He does not shoot the ball as much as the other ballers or else he would average at least 30pts and 10 boards, but he average 25 pts and 10 boards and 7 dimes. Imagine him and Kenny B. playing in the same back court on ‘Team Breakdown” The committee that picks the teams are full of hater!!!
