Brevin Knight is injured

odensque nonetheless picks him up

Bobby Simmons was a very good all-rounder in 2004-5 (16/6/3), and was OK in 2005-6 (13/4/2), but missed all of 06-7 with injury, and never got it going in 07-08. He's not getting it going in 08--09 eithher, thus far. He's shooting 34%, averaging 6/3/1 in 25 MPG (more TOs than AST thus far). He's still holding on to the starting SF job, but that seems tenuous given his lackluster production.

Brevin 'The Very Dark' Knight was also good in 2004-5 (10/3/9 with 2 STL) and again in 2005-06 (13/3/9 w/2 STL), but injuries and and age have slowed him considerably. Last year he managed just 5/2/4 in 22 MPG for the Clips. So far this season, even with D-Williams mostly sidelined in Utah, he's only claimed 20 MPG, and produced at a 6/2/5 clip. He's only 5'10", and never shoots 3s - we watched him play last week, and he doesn't seem to be driving to the hoop anymore. He'd still be a useful source of AST and STL, except that he's apparently hurt, and missed tonight's game.

Judgment: We're not thrilled about this move. Knight has his (limited) uses, but not when injured (and it's not like anyone was going to snap him up). We always liked B-Simm, but he's probably not worth owning until his shots start dropping (if they ever do).
