The Knight show

Pine Crest star continues to shine among peers

Pine Crest (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) junior Brandon Knight has steppe out of anonymity's shadow to be a rising star.

Brandon Knight claims he wasn't a very good basketball player when he first started out. He struggled in his local recreation league and was regularly trounced on the hardwood by friends and family members alike.
One day, after a particularly humiliating loss to his cousin, Knight says he welled up with tears. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, Knight channeled his frustration into the sport that would eventually come to define him.
"He'd go in and start playing video games and I'd stay outside shooting, shooting, shooting because I was so mad," says Knight.
It didn't take long for Knight to start beating his cousin -- and just about everyone else who crossed his path. The sophomore standout is now considered one of the nation's top players in the Class of 2010 and has helped turned his Pine Crest (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) team into a state powerhouse in just two years since joining the starting lineup as an eighth-grader.

i'm in his grade and his freshmen year (last year) donovan visited twice and paul hewit visited once i also saw assistansts from pitt and osu , he's extremely smart off the court 4.3gpa in all honors and ap's at the top private school in florida and top 10 in the nation. He's also very skilled on the court his biggest flaw i see is his range, he has a 3 pt shot but its not oj mayoish. He's not incredibly athletic but he's a big pg at 6-3 what ive heard is his frontrunner schools are the florida schools UF and UM but his recruiting will definately develop alot in the next few years

Rivals

Knight might not be a freak athlete like the top point guards before him, but he possesses a complete game of an elite nature. His physical strength and tight ball handling get him wherever he needs to be on the court. And his shooting skill and court vision allow him to consistently finish plays. On the other side of the ball he is an elite defender who more than adequately rebounds his position. Top off all of this with high level competitiveness, and you have the top prospect in the country.

Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky and two others will get visits from him.
