UPDATE: Brandon Knight has agreed to a five-year, $70 million contract with the Phoenix Suns.

Few players made as powerful a statement in 2014-15 as Brandon Knight during his stint with the Milwaukee Bucks. He was the offensive catalyst for the defensive-minded team, helping to anchor an incredible turnaround.

With his restricted free agency rights now in possession of the Phoenix Suns, Knight’s market value and future will be decided by how believable his career turnaround has been.

Previously viewed as a combo guard who couldn’t thrive in the NBA, Knight is coming off of consecutive highly productive seasons. He averaged 17.9 points in 2013-14 and 17.0 in 2014-15.

According to Gery Woelfel of The Journal Times, Knight is expected to sign a five-year, $70 million contract with the Suns.
