Last year’s sophomore slump was so significant that many lost faith in Kevin Knox, but he’s carved out a role this season thanks to some three-point sharpshooting, which, combined with other incremental improvements, suggest a solid rotation piece who still has untapped potential.
The 21-year-old, now 15 games into his third NBA season, isn’t putting up eye-popping stats (7.4 points and 2.6 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per contest), but he’s the perfect candidate for an advanced analysis. This year, Knox is playing for a head coach who seems to have an actual plan in place to help the former Kentucky Wildcat progress.
