CHICAGO — Knicks brass believe next season will be different for Kevin Knox. He could have some marquee veterans by his side, and a new responsibility to help the Knicks win games.
The front office and coach David Fizdale are excited about Knox’s late-season uptick in areas of more efficiency, ball movement and taking contact on his hoop forays. Defense still is a major concern but that’s what this summer will be dedicated to, according to Fizdale.
Knox’s rollercoaster rookie year comes to an end Wednesday against Detroit, but with an enthusiasm the 6-9 combo forward is on the right track in living up to being the ninth pick in the 2018 draft.
