Utah Jazz ‘09-10 NBA season preview

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:27:58 -0500

Last year we debuted the “Highs and Lows” system — previewing the NBA season by predicting the respective ceiling and basement for each team. Same theme, different season… Added: Eric Maynor, Ronald Dupree Lost: Brevin Knight, Jarron Collins Ceiling: Western Conference Finals The Jazz just don’t get this whole “offseason” thing, do they? During the time of year when [...]

Cross another PG off the list

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:33:22 -0500

Not that there was a ton of discussion about Anthony Carter around here, but his name has come up here and there. Now his name is coming up again... because he's going back to Denver.

So we're back to bringing up names like Tyronn Lue or Jacque Vaughn or Brevin Knight.

I don't know... none of those names thrill me. But I guess we're not looking for thrills. We're looking for a guy to give Rajon Rondo a few minutes of rest.

Maybe the C's can swing by the D-League tryouts at UMass Boston on October 3 and find a point guard there. It's an open tryout. This is the application (it costs $150 to try out).

Hmmm... $150? I'm sure if I do a few push-ups every couple of days between now and then... I'll be ready for that

A PG is there to serve others, keep them involved and organized

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:22:57 -0500

According this article, for Coach Larry Brown, a point guard is there to serve others; to keep them involved and organized. If you happen to score some points along the way, that's more a bonus than an objective.Before Brown's arrival, Raymond Felton had been a part-time point guard, sharing the position first with Brevin Knight and then with Jeff McInnis.

Jazz 97, Blazers 88 Re-Thoughts

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 03:59:50 -0500

I should have seen this one coming. Personally speaking, this loss was more painful than the Orlando and Boston losses. We might as well be truthful with each other. I can't stand Utah and I can't stand watching them play at home. I always have and I always will. Dating back to Stockton and ...

Day 21 of 170:Brevin Knight Wants Your Brains

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:27:26 -0500

Line of the Night: In the GMTR Fantasy Guide for 2008, I believe I compared Tim Duncan (1.13) to a Toyota Camry. Well, that old reliable machine can still hit a buck-twenty when it needs to. Duncan finished last night’s game with 20 and 15, adding 6 blocks and going 2-2 from the line(!) as [...]

Baron Davis to the Clippers? - Fantasy Impact

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:45:31 -0500

According to Drive and Dish who provides no links, but Rotowire via Yahoo also says that on July 9th, The Baron will sign with the Clippers. Did I mention it's The Everybody Wants a Point Guard Era? I'll be on vacation without internet access on the 9th (I know, poor planning), and since I leave for that vacation tomorrow, I don't really have time to analyze right now. But, here we go anyway? As for Davis himself, assuming that his signing is enough for the Clippers to bring back Elton Brand, I see his scoring dropping slightly. He'll probably still be in the high teens and may even get the 20 PPG he had in 07-08. I'm hoping that with Eric Gordon backing him up on the Clippers he won't have to play 39 minutes and can preserve his oft-injured body (before 07-08, the last time he played 82 games was in 2001-02). The Clippers offensive attack will be slower than the Run-N-Gun Warriors, but with Brand on the inside, Davis should get open three-point looks and connect on 1.5-2 per game. He'll still be taking 5 free throws (that just seems standard for him at this point) and making only 70% of them, and if he shoots higher than 44% it will be a blessing from above, or some sort of sign that the Clippers are a team of destiny. I had Baron at 15 on my initial Point Guard rankings, and I'd say he should still be a solid second round pick. The Point Guard this hurts is Brevin Knight, who I'd already dropped to 163 with the arrival of Eric Gordon. So, unless you're in a league with more than 12 teams, you probably don't need to worry about him. Everyone else on the Clippers should be more or less unaffected - we still have to see where Brand and Maggette go, though. As for the Warriors, they'd better hope Monta Ellis can make the change from SG to PG. He is already listed as just a G on Yahoo, and he played almost 38 minutes per game last season, and the Warriors still plan to run it and gun it (as far as I know), so he should be good for his 3rd round pick status. Will he move up in the draft? Probably. I think people will see this as his opportunity to take over the Warriors. And while it certainly is that, it also increases both the defensive pressure and offensive pressure on him, and takes away a scoring threat, and means he'll have to play with Kelenna Azubuike by his side, which - no offense - is a downgrade from Baron. Yes, Ellis is a free agent, but Golden State will give him as much money as he wants if they're smart. Unless they can get Gilbert Arenas, in which case, well, who knows.

Worst Starting Point Guards in the NBA

Thu, 08 May 2008 08:16:18 -0500

Jason Williams/Chris Quinn? these two guards have almost equal times they have started and all they bring are bunch of loses and inconsistencies. Anthony Carter ? Anthony is a great backup guard for any team but as a starting guard? I don't know. Maybe he is in Denver team Dan Dickau/Brevin Knight ? They are guards who do not seem to strike fear on their opponents. Sebastian Telfair ? Well many people say that this can be great if he has talent around him. Why? Does he have no ta...

Simply the BEST

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:01:20 -0500

I have long been following the rapid increase of Blue Equity's share of the Sports & Entertainment pie. I have had the unique opportunity of meeting Donald Dell and speaking to chairman Jonathan Blue and COO Mike Principe in the past. That being said, I am very happy for the entire company on the unveiling of a new entity that will bring together all of Blue Equity's sports properties: BEST (Blue Entertainment Sports Television). Blue Equity started making headlines in the sports world when it initially bought out NBA agent Bill Strickland, who has since added Corey Brewer to his list of clients that include Rasheed Wallace, Brevin Knight, and Malik Allen. From there, Blue Equity acquired the services of NFL agent Joel Segal, Donald Dell and SFX, and a plethora of other entities. In the middle of 2007, I anointed Blue Equity as the newest conglomerate alongside IMG, CAA, and WMG. At this point, Blue Equity may be close to being above them all, making it the BEST.

Fantasy Team Preview: Los Angeles Clippers

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:44:31 -0500

How does a team ruin its season before it starts? One of the best ways is to have your all-star rupture his Achilles during the off season. That'll do. We've broken down the Brand injury and what he can expect this season, but what about the rest of the team?

Return of a Jedi: Brevin Knight is back!

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 08:51:29 -0500

In case you missed it, Brevin Knight turned in a stunning 1 point, 7 assist performance last night in his first game back from surgery of the abdomin. Not too excited about the 4 turnovers, but the 3 rebounds is decent. And that made for 25 fantasy points in my HoopsAddict.com league, which is better than than the 10 points that Keith Bogans put up last night (that's right, I've been forced to play Keith Bogans!) ? so Knight is going back into my lineup.
