ORR ON KNIGHT
"Chris is probably one of our most versatile players. He is a tough cover, he is athletic and he has an excellent medium-range game. Chris can put the ball on the floor, he can make plays off the dribble and he can rebound. He is a big X-factor guy for us, because he has a lot of talent, but he sat out last year. So, we need to give him time to develop and get comfortable. He's been working very hard, though, and playing very well. Chris has a chance to be a scorer for us, and I expect him to get better and better as the year goes on."
