For Kevin Knox, the sophomore slump was real. After an up-and-down rookie season, Knox saw his minutes cut and his role diminished in year two with the New York Knicks. Per Marc Berman of the New York Post, Knicks president Leon Rose is unsure of how Knox fits into the team’s future.
“According to a source, Rose still doesn’t know what to make of Knox and doesn’t know if the 20-year-old is part of their future,” Berman wrote.
Berman also notes that John Calipari, Knox’s college coach and a close friend of Rose’s, is vouching for the lanky forward.
