How did Knox look? I noticed a 20 pt 6-11 stat line until he missed his last 5 shots all at the end

A few things on Wendell Carter since I see that he has been talked about the last few pages. He is a flat out beast on the boards, the dude is averaged 14 rebounds per 40 (10 per game) and this is while playing alongside Bagley who is also a beast on the boards. Carter would probably be leading the nation in rebounds if he weren't playing alongside Bagley. Hes got really good form on his jumper but he is still a little hesitant with it (has been shooting more 3s recently though). He has tremendous low post skills that involve hooks with both hands and a very nice turn around jumper. He has potential as a passer and is more than willing as a passer, sometimes he just hesitates a little too long and he turns it over.

Defensively he has a lot of work. He can be a really good rim protector, but he has some motor and defensive IQ question marks. It certainly doesnt help playing alongside Bagley's motor but its clear Carter's motor comes and goes and sometime he makes some horrible reads and rotations defensively. I think he does have potential though defensively because he does move better than most give him credit for. The dude is ridiculously strong so I think he and KP would be a great duo.

I rather take best player available regardless of position than to take Knox(currently).
I also rather take Isaac Bonga with that Chic 2nd rounder in hopes that his upside exceeds Knox long term. Bonga plays tons of PG but that won’t happen in the NBA.

Wendell Carter reminds me of like a bouncier version of Kyle O'Quinn. Nothing great but just a real solid player. Don't know if he has the upside other guys do but if he's there at like 14-20 I wouldn't mind the choice....
