Brandon Knight was one of the pieces acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three-team deal with the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings near the 2019 NBA trade deadline, and with a new opportunity to play considerable minutes, Knight did pretty well for Cleveland.
As we’ve hit on, Knight barely played for the Houston Rockets last season, as he was only active in 12 games for them, and only played 9.8 minutes per contest in those outings, per Basketball Reference. He didn’t seem to be healthy, and he wasn’t really given a chance to show if he was a key piece, anyhow.
