Kevin Knox has finally asserted himself as one of the game’s top rookies, taking home the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month award for December, according to an announcement from the New York Knicks.
Knox was terrific in the final month of 2018, averaging 6.0 rebounds to go along with 17.1 points and 33 total 3-pointers converted, tops among rookies in the Eastern Conference.
This was a far cry from his play in the prior months. Injuries and an unestablished role led to less than 20 minutes per game in both October and November, keeping the 2018 No.
