With the 8th pick in the 2011 NBA draft the Detroit Pistons selected point guard Brandon Knight from the University of Kentucky.
Knight had been projected to go as high as third overall to the Utah Jazz but dropped to eighth overall on draft night.
The 6’3” 180 pound Knight is an electric point guard that provides tremendous potential to grow into an all-star caliber floor general down the line.
The 19-year old averaged 17.3 points and 4.2 assists per game during his freshman season at Kentucky.
