George Karl says the media may want to put the brakes on the runaway hype for Knicks rookie Kevin Knox.
The legendary coach told The Post he’s seen summer-league studs come back to Earth once fall arrives and the NBA’s regular season starts.
Karl was in Albany on Saturday for the screening of the new documentary on the Albany Patroons — “The Minor League Mecca.” Phil Jackson, Bill Musselman and Karl each coached the Patroons in their heyday, the 1980s and early 1990s.
“The Knox kid definitely had a great summer league, but I don’t put a lot of value on summer performance or summer talk,’’ Karl told The Post before Saturday’s premiere.
