Have you guys reached a verdict on this fella?

He's 19....jury should be out for a while on this kid. Personally...I'm a fan. Needs to improve defense and be more efficient.

I guess it's the "homer" part of me but...I like all of the homegrown players we have. Frank/Dot/Trier/RJ/Knox/Iggy/Mitch would all be getting major minutes along with DSJ/Randle if I were running things. Portis would be in there too. Morris/Ellington/Taj/Bullock? DGAF about them at all. Morris/Taj I'm ok with but...yeah....they can all ride pine as far as I'm concerned.

I’d be truly surprised if he becomes a star player. Although he has considerable natural talent he doesn’t seem to have that “it” factor. I think he’ll be a nice player though.

He's an integral part of a 17 win team and a team about to win 30. Therefore he sucks.

so when is Knox starting to get Franks treatment, if he continues to suck? 15 games?

i cant make up my mind on Knox. Statisically he was one of the worst players ever. Normally with a guy who is that bad I'd feel okay writing him off completely But i just feel like four or five years from now he will be good.

I guess the issue with drafting guys like this is that all their cheap years come when they suck. Then you're forced to make a 4/$90m type investment before you truly know what you have on your hands.

Showed a dash of improvement in SL. SL though.
I like his size. Fluid shot. Make the right play/pass, shot. He might could work.
Positive vibes to him, from me.

When he stopps shooting and all he does is stay in a corner.

How many minute s per game? 12? Lots of real NBA forwards o n the roster now.

I like him and think he has deadly potential as a scorer. Just gotta hope he’s developed right and has the right mindset

Here is a message to all Knox's fans.

Ignas "Iggy" Brazdeikis is BETTER!!! 8-)

LOL, are you a Knox's Fan? I bet you see big things for him with the Knicks this upcoming season. :lol:

There is a pretty good chance Knox your disappointment so far might go away after year 2.
For now, I think Knox fans can use one of these while making rookie and sophomore excuses. lol.

I mean, I'm a Knicks fan so yeah, I'm a Knox fan

But I'm also just calling out your weak troll game. Come up with something creative at least

His size and offense should keep him in the league. I don’t think he is going to improve in Knicks uniform though. Probably will be traded before his rookie contract ends

No, you're an Idiot! Just because you're a Knicks fan doesn't mean you have to forcefully like ALL players on the Knicks roster. :crazy:

Oh, I remember a little about you now, K-DICK. I think we have some negative history. I just don't remember much about it, because you're pretty much useless to me; I do remember you hating on me for some reason. However, I made sure to put your name in the negative memory bank. I bet it was you who locked my prayer thread. I got a lot of And1s when I called out that mod for closing my thread. I guess you are probably searching for a reason to ban me because you are a MOD. Am I right K-DICK? Be creative like your pic with words that is hard to read? Congrats, I will be keeping my eye on your stupid ass now. How the hell did you become a mod anyway? Must have been a serious shortage of members at the time. Oh, sorry if I misspelled your name while typing all of this. I've been dealing with a lot of DICKHEADS recently. :lol:

I must be missing something here. Hasn't he only just turned 20? Seems like there's plenty of time of his game to grow as well as his understanding. To put things in to perspective Siakam had only been playing bball 3 years at this same point and he's turned out alright. From an outsider looking in, it seems to me that Fizdale is perhaps the worst coach at developing young talent. Frank wasn't allowed to play through any mistakes whereas Knox was able to develop bad habits with impunity.
