SAN ANTONIO — Kevin Knox is grateful the Knicks have shown patience and not shown him the G League.
In San Antonio, the Spurs rookie first-round pick Lonnie Walker IV has spent most of the season developing in the G League – part of a strategy often employed by that organization.
As the season winds down, Knox is sixth among rookies in minutes played, logging 1,702 despite his lagging shooting percentage and lax defense.
“It was a great opportunity to stay with the team, hang around with the veterans and see the NBA life,’’ Knox said at Friday’s morning shootaround at AT&T Center before the 13-55 Knicks faced the Spurs.
