Brandon Knight is a professional basketball player who has made significant contributions across multiple teams in the NBA, and has recently excelled in international leagues. After being selected eighth overall in the 2011 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons, Brandon Knight quickly made an impact, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2012—the first Pistons rookie to receive this honor since Grant Hill in the 1994-95 season. Prior to his professional career, Knight distinguished himself as a First-Team All-SEC selection in 2011 at the University of Kentucky, where he set freshman records for points scored (657), 3-pointers made (87), and most 20-point games (14) across 38 games, averaging 17.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. His pre-collegiate career was also highly decorated, securing consecutive Gatorade National Player of the Year awards in 2009 and 2010, and leading Pine Crest School to two state championships in 2008 and 2009.

His inaugural season in the BSN was a dominant one, culminating in both the BSN Most Valuable Player Award and the BSN Scoring Champion title. He averaged an outstanding 24.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers per game, cementing his status as one of the league’s elite talents. Knight continues to be a prominent figure in international basketball, reinforcing his career in the BSN. In February 2025, he was traded to the Capitanes de Arecibo, where he will continue to bring his proven scoring ability and playmaking prowess to a new team, building on a career marked by significant achievements from high school accolades to NBA recognition and international MVP honors.
