No he can't. He's a terrible finisher in the paint and a horrible decision maker. The only thing he may do better than them is shoot the 3, but even that's debatable. He's also extremely inconsistent. Holiday isn't a true but that doesn't mean he isn't better than Knight. Tired of seeing this nikka have a game where he gives you 23 and 6, then the next night he fukk around and has 6 pts on 1-8 shooting with 5 to's and 2 ast. And watching the games, he really struggles running an offense and seems to not know when to attack and when to set folks up. You can call Lawson overrated as much as you want, but he's still a better player and pg than Knight. The #'s and the eye test both show it imo.
You can talk about coaches and systems all you want, but the truth is cream rises. He's been given the minutes and freedom to show he has the goods, but he has shown so far that he can be consistently inconsistent. You have no idea what your gonna get each game from him. The coach/system isn't making him have those 1-8 nights, or that 2 to 1.5 ast/to ratio. He needs to make some drastic improvements to his game. He needs to get stronger to improve his finishing ability in the paint, and learn to make better decisions on the court. If you wanna argue potential against those guys then sure, I'm not gonna bother going hard against that. But if you talking right now, he's not anywhere better than either one of them. And they both would help improve this team over what he offers now.
