Kevin Knox Comparison?

[KnicksGadfly]

Haha I seen people say they see Blake Griffey hahah maybe Blake griffins poop after a big meal.

Bruh this comparison was just gross lol

[frothbrain]

still a better defender than MPJ

[Jimmit79]

Still the most apt comparison:



Minus the aggression, of course

He's more Klingon than orcish

Honestly right now he's more Ferengi than Klingon

After seeing friggin thybulle and Simmons lock up Trae, I really wish we had just taken Mikal. Even Hunter is showing his value this series.

You can't blame yourself this franchise switches from rebuild to foolish playoff faster then musical chairs.

I haven't seen enough of the kid to judge his defense but at 6'9, the way he plays the offensive side of the ball reminds me of Scottie Pippen a lot. The way he's a SF wing and able to go coast to coast off a rebound, can dribble, shoot, attacks the rim strong etc Learn that backboard and he'll be good to go.

this is just great

[N Y K]

Y’all letting complexion narrarate your comparisons still I see. Tatum is one of the craftiest wings around the league. Knox is still a little raw around the rim when not dunking . I still see young PG13 with less defense.

[Dantares]

Kevin Knox is going to be so good. One day we will look back and say man Durant was like a poor mans version of Kevin knox.

Lol This was a joke. But I actually did think knox was going to be good after his first summer league and then he won rookie of the month in December. i actually thought he might be an all star. Then it just all went to hell.

we all suffer from being homers at times but y'all really need to reign it in a bit. it's too much. this been going on forever on here too. we probably thought walter mccarty was gonna be special. and the best thing he did was sing.

Monty Williams turned out to be a good coach

Asking for a friend, even as a Kentucky fan and someone who hated the pick, have we've ever seen Knox attempt a shot that wasn't a three pointer? We did him no favors in terms of developing after his rookie year which his was force feed minutes.

he kinda had a hint of a floater in his rookie year and then I guess they told him to just shoot 3s

I have no problem eating my own crow.



Pippen: 6'8 / 228lbs.
K. Knox: 6'9 / 215 lbs.

I saw similarities in their physical appearance on the wings and once I read an article of how his own dad (former athlete himself) comparing his son to Scottie Pippen? I got completely mind fkd and will never believe another sports parent again (they're all homers for their kids).

Watch on YouTube

I still don't understand kid looked to have all the athleticism and raw talent in the world.

And @ only 21 years old I'm not yet ready to quit on him. Not just yet. He's still a kid and two years younger than Obi Toppin, 1 year younger than Immanuel Quickley, two years younger than Mitchell Robinson and also same age as R.J. Barrett.

I'm not expecting Scottie Pippen anymore but with Burks and Bullock not returning I'd like to see Thibs give this 21 year old kid more of a chance coming off the bench next year because despite limited minutes he showed improvements last year with career highs in FG% (.392%), 3PT% .393%, eFG (.514%), Player Efficiency Rating (9.1), TS% (.537%) etc all career highs.

But on the flip side kids like Frank and Knox are why I'm so fired up about R.J. Barrett because I'm sorry but 20-21 year old kids just aren't supposed to be this good, this fast and this young which is why I'm screaming future NBA All-Star. You wait so long for busts like Frank/Knox to stand out. And they never do. Kids like Oni Toppin @ 23 looks light years behind R.J. Barrett in regards to basketball ability so therefore if I'm going to let players like Knox/Frank/Obi both frustrate me and disappoint me? Well then R.J. Barrett is to be cherished, appreciated and down right celebrated because the day I can't become fired up over a 20-21 year old R.J. Barrett (in comparison to a 21 year old Knox) is the day I'll walk away from basketball and never call myself a "fan" again.

Misery needs company.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was wrong about Knox.

[thebuzzardman]

I'm pretty sure I liked the pick or sold myself on it.

I like that he got out in transition, had a good 3 point shot, and I figured the floater (which apparently all Kentucky players have to learn) gave him that middle option. I carried on now Knox hit floaters from all over 15 feet in and that profiled as someone who would be a good scorer down the line.

Alas, now when I think of Knox's career and floater, different images are conjured.

As to your spoiler, my avi Carl Spackler cleaned that up. That was actually a Baby Ruth bar that freaked everyone out. Lol at the Jaws music. Classic scene from imo the funniest movie ever made

I made the same comparison, and trusted Calipari’s endorsement. I still think he can be a productive NBA player, just too bad he was never developed properly.

[Fat Kat]

I told y'all we should've drafted Mikal. Having said that, I thought he could've been a Great value version of Rashard Lewis, but the boy is too soft. If you stared him in the face, he'd look at the floor. He has no dog in him

Knox is a lot like the guy playing D here:

Great physical attributes don't really matter when the guy doesn't have an alpha personality, no pride or chip on shoulder, and low IQ. None of which are coachable, but hopefully will come with age. I just don't think he'll face the type of hardship necessary to develop a chip at this point in his life.

[duetta]

Poor man's Tim Thomas.

[Infinitimind]

He doesn't have the quick twitch muscles and straight line speed of Marion.

Right now right now he doesn't really have a position. He's kinda like a forward version of Jeremy Tyler. There's talent in there and he'll show spurts but can't seem to put anything together or gain any head of steam. Other comps (using former Knicks as comparisons)? A scaled down version of Anthony Randolph? A beggar man version of Tim Thomas?

He's a smaller, less mobile Tim Thomas... I think that's a good comp.

I like this one the best. Poor man's Tim Thomas. His biggest knock was that he lacked the desire, even though he had all the tools. Athletic, high flyer, good shooter, good size for his position. You put even 80% of an MJ or Kobe mentality and work ethic into Knox, the dude is a star. He seemed totally comfortable riding pine all year. The dude doesn't give a fck and it sucks for us.

Does everyone realized knox won rookie of the month and he played with g league team. The majority of that knicks rooster is not even in the nba. Our started point guard was trey burks for god sake

He’s numbers are comparable to Rj Barrett rookie year . Knox averaged 13 a game and shot 37 percent , Rj average 14 and shot 40 percent. The biggest difference knox 2nd year we buried him behind Morris instead of trying to develop him. Look at knox game in college and rookie year, he was shooting runners and driving more. They pretty much just made him 3 point shooter in the corner.

Knox is only 21 was shooting 40 percent from 3s and was benched by Thibs. I just don’t understand what we doing. Bertan got 80mil for being a floor spacer. I still believe knox can be more than that
