Don’t confuse good defense with **** offensive eras

Knox is my 6 year olds favorite player so I’ll always have a defense of him and be patient with him. Can’t wait to see these guys in summer league next week.

"Can't shoot, can't pass, can't dribble.."

Even though Mitch is joking his description of Knox is pretty on point haha.

Cool video, though. Love Mitch's personality shining through.

Knicks don't think Knox can play PF next to Mitch yet. Not strong enough. Mills/Perry are going to look for a banger to play next to him and to back him up at center. I think that's why there's this reported interest in Randle. $100M is too much money for him, though, imo. But all these cats are going to get PAID, Jack!

I see kevin playing 1/2 of his min at pf depending on the matchups. Kev can bang with the smaller stretch 4s in the legue.

But will he rebound? I’m not sure yet.

He's saying all the right things about being a better passer and defender. Let's home it translates on the floor.

6/12, 3 of 7, 8 boards, 2 blocks.

Obviously, it's summer league, but Knox is doing what he's supposed to do. Too bad all he's gonna get remembered for is that Zion dunk...

Knox gets into trouble trying to create his own shot. He needs to spot up for kick-outs and attack close-outs. That’s it. Save energy for the defensive side of the ball

Lmao. He does have insane big feet. Maybe that means he could grow a bit more. But also needs to build up those legs and calves. .

He needs to get stronger. He looks like a weakling getting the ball stripped.

Not just legs and calves, also upper body needs improvement. And needs to play with more intensity and fire. It may be just SL but still when he got the tip from Mitch, I kind of felt sorry for Knox when Zion took his lunch money before he flexed his muscles.

Regarding his position, I am still not sure. Still young, still room for improvement but his first year stats are close to Beasley's rookie season with less efficiency. Hope that we can develop him into something otherwise he will be the last of the tweeners.
