Knight (ankle) is progressing well from left ankle surgery and should be ready for the start of the season, the Arizona Republic reports. "[The ankle is] doing good," Knight said in a radio interview. "I'm back to working out and moving around and stuff so I'm just trying to get my legs back up under me so that, by the time the season rolls around, I'll be good."

Analysis:

Knight only played in 11 games after joining the Suns and shot career-lows of 36 percent from the field and 31 percent from the three-point line in that timeframe. He underwent successful surgery directly after the season, and it's apparent he'll be fully healthy by training camp. Paired next to Eric Bledsoe, Knight saw a noticeable decline in his rebounds, assist percentage, and usage rate. His subsidiary offensive role this season will knock Knight a few rounds in standard leagues, but Bledsoe has had right knee issues dating back to his time with the Clippers, and Knight could see his value fluctuate accordingly.
