I don't believe that. His floor is who he is today and defense is not that easy to learn. If it was a guarantee that Knox could learn to play that sort of defense, then yes, it'd be an easier choice. You're talking about ceiling, I think.
Knox defensive woes come from being to relaxed and not focused that is not hard to correct. Defending and shooting will be two noticeable strengths shown from him his first year imo that will stand out. The rest of his game will most likely be extremely inconsistent especially if he is the guy the knicks run alot of there offense through.
Sixers senior director of basketball operations Vince Rozman said Knox’s touch stood out the most.
“For his size, he can shoot,” Rozman said. “He can handle it a little bit. He’s really mobile. He’s a talent.”
How can you run your nba offense through someone who can't create for himself or others? Dude avg 2.5 TO's per without the ball in his hands... C'mon...geeesssh.
Rozman ain't no scout... Director of Ops getting hype after a workout. LOL
how can the player get better if you dont run it through them? we'd be idiotz to not put the ball in knox hands especially with no KP. Its called development. Id expect to see alot of the offense ran through mikal as well otherwise he really is just the 3D player he's been labeled as.
Why would you draft someone at 9 to continue to develop them as a role player they need there talents to be exercised whether they stumble or exceed expectation.
Ntilkina couldnt really do nothing with the ball does that mean we should of never been trying to encourage him to shoot and drive and continue to let him pass pass pass? thats not how you get better.
