10. Brandon Knight

Brandon Knight must have been a wonderful student as he was able to get admission in Kentucky University on the basis of only one semester’s credits. His heart and soul lied in basketball so he left college very early but he took his education very seriously and still values it a great deal.

His move to temporarily leave education and focus on NBA was a fruitful one. He currently boasts a career average of 4.5 assists and 15.2 points – all this within his first four seasons in the NBA. Knight is currently a valuable member of Phoenix Suns. He has made it clear that he intends to return to Kentucky University and complete his bachelors.
