Q&A with Knicks' Kevin Knox: 'Kentucky is a powerhouse ... so I think it gets you ready'

Here is a transcript, supplied by the NBA and ASAPsports, of former University of Kentucky star Kevin Knox's interview after being drafted by the New York Knicks with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

KEVIN KNOX: I think it's a great opportunity. It's the mecca of basketball, the media capital of basketball. I think it's going to be a great opportunity to come here and play alongside (Kristaps) Porzingis, (Tim) Hardaway, and some of the great players on the team. They got a new coach in (David) Fizdale. He's a players' coach, and I think that me and him are really going to get along.
