The New York Knicks have provided fans with a new reason for excitement. After spending the 2017-18 season pondering how effective Kristaps Porzingis could be with an athletic frontcourt complement, the Knicks drafted Kevin Knox at No. 9 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft.
While Knox has yet to prove himself against an NBA-caliber level of competition, his performances at Summer League have set the basketball world ablaze.
Those who didn’t watch will point to his inefficiency, but Knox put his alluring skill set on display in Las Vegas. He looked nothing like the player who’d spent his freshman season at Kentucky, playing a new style that highlighted unexpected strengths.
