GREENBURGH — All eyes were on Kevin Knox at the start of the season.
A high draft pick from an elite college program, Knox wowed Knicks fans with his performance at summer league. There was talk early in the preseason that he should be a starter right off the bat. Knicks fans, desperate for a sign that their team was going the right direction, wanted him to shine early, to be an instant star.
Instead, Knox went the more typical route of a rookie, struggling to get used to the rhythms of the pro game while also taking some time to fully come back from an early ankle injury.
