The beginning of New York Knicks rookie Kevin Knox’s NBA career hasn’t gotten off to the start his Summer League play would suggest.
An ankle injury knocked him out of seven consecutive games, while coach David Fizdale’s ever-shuffling rotation has made it difficult for him to get into any sort of rhythm. All in all, it’s been an underwhelming start for the rookie, to the tune of just 8.6 points on 34.2 percent shooting to go along with 2.8 rebounds per game.
If that weren’t enough, an article written by Marc Berman of The New York Post had a number of anonymous scouts and coaches throw criticism Knox’s way, ranging from his shoot-first mentality to simply stating the Knicks would’ve been better off selecting someone else in the draft.
