Emerging young defensive stopper slows down Kevin Knox
Kevin Knox is tightly defended by Semi Ojeleye during the Knicks' summer league loss Thursday.LAS VEGAS — Celtics forward Semi Ojeleye is starting to make his name as an emerging young defensive stopper. He played a lot on LeBron James during the playoffs.
This was a bit less of a task, but the 23-year-old muffled 6-foot-9 Knicks lottery pick Kevin Knox, stalling his summer-league scoring rampage.
After racking up 29 points versus the Lakers, Knox was held to just 15 points Thursday in a loss to the Celtics, shooting 5-of-20 overall and 2-of-7 from 3-point range and committing five turnovers, including a charge against Ojeleye.
