While Summer League games are a poor way to evaluate players, it is clear that Kevin Knox has a lot of potential to be something special. In fact, while watching him play he reminded me of another former top pick from last year’s draft: Jayson Tatum.
Knox and Tatum are similar in size, for starters. Knox holds only a one-inch height advantage and about ten pounds. They have similar frames as well; both hold around a seven-foot wingspan and are built to be tough matchups defensively. They both need to work on their strength, despite both moving well with quick feet.
