Grant Hill: It would be a mistake to give up on Ntilikina and Knox

Grant Hill says he’s already been crushed by Knicks 6-foot-9 rookie forward Kevin Knox.

“Duke wanted him badly — he was first on the radar, I heard from coaches,’’ Hill told The Post.

“We were all heartbroken. He’s a really good kid, got a great skill set. But it has been a little up and down.”

Hill, a former Duke star, will call the Knicks-Celtics game from Boston at 8 p.m. Thursday as the Knicks make their season’s first appearance on TNT.

Knox chose Kentucky, but Hill said he believes if Mike Krzyzewski wanted him that badly, he’s worth the pick and is not a softie.
