The latest former Kentucky Wildcat to earn a multi-million dollar contract is Brandon Knight.
Reports have Knight and the Phoenix Suns agreeing to a five-year deal worth $70 million. It's actually the same deal Phoenix gave former Cat Eric Bledsoe last year when he was a restricted free agent, which is what Knight was set to be when free agency opens this week.
Knight has already played for three different teams now, so it's good to see him getting his first big deal in addition to finding a team committed to him.
