Great analysis – “his game has weaknesses” can be said about literally every player in the NBA.

“If he could turn himself into a 40% 3 pt shooter, he’d very much be an asset. ”

He’s already a 38% 3-pt shooter as a second-year player, and I’d assume the difference between shooting 40% from 3 and 38% from 3 isn’t significant enough to be the difference between being an “asset” or not….

And you can’t really judge a point-guard if the rest of his roster – aside from Drummond and Monroe – is “junk,” as you say.

Of course he still has time to blossom, but even after one and a half seasons I think you can pretty much see what you got when you’re a starter and getting plenty minutes.

Knight’s has not developed as hoped. He really is a combo guard, leaning more 2 than 1. If he could turn himself into a 40% 3 pt shooter, he’d very much be an asset. Singler? Shouldn’t start on a quality team. The rest is just junk. Unless something else begins to percolate, I’d advocate they take a shot at Eric Gordon. Detroit isn’t Phx or another winter haven, but if he’s out of New Orleans, he may become a happier and more productive piece. Find a cheap, pass first facilitator for the point and you’ve got the makings of a team in ’14-’15 should be targeting top 4 in the East.
