LAS VEGAS — Kevin Knox II didn’t become a national story at summer league this time, but he showed off a bulked-up frame that will make him more powerful in getting to the rim and absorbing contact.
That was an issue as a rookie last season. However, Knox’s expected progression doesn’t guarantee he’ll play more in his second season.
The Knicks didn’t get Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving but they added a boatload of experienced depth. And that is before the potential signing of veteran Marcus Morris, whose best position is Knox’s position — small forward.
