Knight would raise hell. But, if Bzd did that, our fans would say he's "throwing Nikita under the bus."
It's sad, but true.

Dino taking Nikita as a transfer is a move that will always baffle me.
We seemed so desperate for a shooter back then that we were taking all kinds of garbage. Nikita.... Konner Tucker.... ugh.
I know he's not a first team All-ACC type, but can you imagine how bad this team would be without Nikita?
No kidding.
This would be our starting line-up:
TC
CJ
Chase
McKie
Walker
As bad as our defense is now, I can hardly even imagine what it would look like with Chase guarding small forwards and McKie guarding power forwards for 30+ minutes a game.
Tucker was a desperation move because Dino didn't expect Teague (pretty much our only good shooter on the 08-09 team) to leave until too late to recruit someone legit, although he had just decommitted from Kentucky or some such (mind you, he committed to Gillespie, not Callipari).
Nikita, well, I don't really get it other than we didn't really have much depth at power forward and had a scholarship that we wouldn't want to use for the class of 2010 (and would still have 3 open for 2011).
I've actually grown kind of fond for Nikita in this ACC season. While he has the coordination of a new born giraffe, he plays his ass off every game, and most of the time (inexplicably), he is the only one willing to take hard shots (and hit the side of the backboard) whereas the rest of the team is content with shot clock violations.
