Travis Knight was the prototypical center for early 1990’s UConn teams. He was asked to rebound, play defense and make life easier for the team’s scorers – in Knight’s case, Donyell Marshall and then Ray Allen. Knight handled his role well, filling out his career stat sheet with 760 points and 747 rebounds. He was selected with the 29th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft.

Knight gets the edge (in my book) because I tried to buy his Knicks jersey at Jerry Cosby downstairs at the Garden and was laughed at by the people I was trying to give money too. 12 beers does strange things to a man.
Now THAT would be a collector’s item.
I’m voting for Knight; he would have averaged 30rpg in the Yankee Conference in the 50s.
Exactly why I voted for him.
I just noticed that they have the same haircut.
