I don’t know what Kevin Knox is yet. Am I writing about a future All-Star or another in a long line of disappointing New York Knicks draft picks? At this point, neither one would surprise me.
Nobody thought Knox was NBA ready during his rookie season. Even his staunchest defenders must admit they’ve been concerned at some of the things they’ve seen from Knox.
According to Basketball-Reference, since they started recording box plus-minus for the 1973-74 season, only two players have notched a lower BPM during their first two seasons than Knox: all-time bust Michael Olowokandi and some dude named Anthony Avent.
