Milwaukee Bucks’ guard Brandon Knight won’t be distracted by his contract situation

Milwaukee Bucks’ guard Brandon Knight is looking for a new contract situation. He’s likely hoping the five-year, $70 million deal Eric Bledsoe signed with the Phoenix Suns. He’s not going to get $70 million like Eric Bledsoe but Brandon Knight is probably hoping for something more than the four-year, $40 million deal many have predicted him to be offered.

Brandon Knight, however, refuses to focus on his contract situation.

“That’s for agents to do and for the media to talk about,’’ Knight said about his contract situation via Gery Woelfel of The Racine Journal Times. “He (Bledsoe) did his thing this year and his agent (Rich Paul) did a great job of getting him that deal.

“I’m taking it day by day. I’m not even focusing on that now. Either way, I’m going to play well this season like I played well last season.’’

The Bucks acquired Brandon Knight from the Detroit Pistons in the sign-and-trade that netted the Pistons Brandon Jennings.

Brandon Knight averaged 17.9 points, 4.9 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 42.2% from the field, 32.5% from beyond the arc and 80.2% from the charity stripe. In his three-year career, he’s averaged 14.7 points, 4.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 41.5% from the field, 35.6% from three and 77.1% from the free throw line.
