Knicks picks Knox, Robinson could be solutions to New York's problems
On Thursday, the New York Knicks summer league team featuring ninth pick Kevin Knox and 36th pick Mitchell Robinson bowed out of the tournament in an 82 -75 loss to the Boston Celtics. The rookies took their first steps as pros in the Las Vegas Summer League, with some intriguing results but also room for improvement.
Knox averaged 23.3 points and 7.3 rebounds through his first three games, but made only five of his 20 shot attempts on his way to 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and five turnovers on Thursday. Even in a poor game, though, Knox showed the hallmarks that the Knicks hope will translate to the next level.
