I would go pro as well. One wrong step could cause a career ending knee injury. With the millions of guaranteed money for first round draft picks, how can a guy turn that down. If Eric Bledsoe is a first round pick then Knight should be a lottery pick

The only thing that'll keep Jones and Knight in school will be a lock-out. Education can be finished while making millions, it's just dumb not to jump at that. Staying wouldn't do anything for knight's draft status at all, which would be the only reason to stay another year, so again, it would be a bad move. He'd play the 2 next year behind Teague and he will never be a 2 in the NBA at 6'3", never, so that would be of no benefit to him and this years draft is somewhat weak, especially compared to next years. I would have a tremendous respect for him for putting education first if that happens but I can't imagine that the risks will out-weigh the rewards in the end.
