I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tracy McGrady as a comparison. He was 18 when he came into the league. He had a very smooth game with similar length. McGrady was never a bad defender, above average but nothing special, which is what I'm expecting from Knox.

It's the smoothness that makes the comparison for me.

I've said it from Day 1: Klay Thompson. Maybe a little Antwan Jamison or Danny Granger.

--Mags :beer:


Knox doesnt pass enough or create enough off the dribble for others to be a Klay/Granger. Plus both of those guys are above average defenders. We havent seen enough of Knox to characterize his defense.

Firstly klay is an elite defender not average... and he was straight ass out of college

Tracy McGrady? Kevin Knox can't play SG. Nor does he have McGradys athleticism.

Rashard Lewis seems about right

3/4 , the size of a 4 , can guard 3/4's but rebounds and shoots/scores like a 3
Its because I'm green isn't it?

they let Rodman into the league

why wouldn't they let in a horse?

is it because its Black Beauty and they are racist?


Dennis Rodman is a basketball player and a horse can be in the Kentucky derby but I've literally never seen a horse in another sport at any level (collegiate or high school) I don't see the comparison.

It’s so obvious but people are scared to say it.
His game resembles Kevin Durant. Boom.
Is he Kevin Durant? No but they have similar games...particularly the young version of KD.


Yea I mean his favorite player is Kevin Durant and he obviously tried to copy some of his game.

NoLayupRule wrote:he's shown literally nothing to make anyone think he's gonna be a great defender

and certainly not at a Marion level


on the offensive side of the ball I think he's incredibly different as well

Hes a pure shooter, unlike marion, and a smooth as butter driver

I loved marion but I simply see zero comparisons besides size


I see more Tobias Harris or Rudy Gay or someone like that

I hope Im wrong
he's very young and can develop into a defender someday


I think I am gonna break the cardinal rule of comparisons but...
