In an NBA obsessed with tall, perimeter-based wing players, the 6-foot-9 Kevin Knox finds himself suiting up for the third franchise in less than 12 months. Knox’s career to date is one of tantalizing potential that has thus far gone unrealized. Taken with the ninth selection in the 2018 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks envisioned a world rich in 20-point performances from a heralded Kentucky product.
While Knox has cracked the 20-point mark numerous times in his four-year career, he’s done so without consistency and, more importantly, without any semblance of efficiency. The lack of overall stability in Knox’s nightly performances is a core reason why the young forward finds himself at what could be his last NBA stop in the Motor City.
