After finishing his collegiate career at Florida Southern, Kevin Capers was taken in the third round (57th overall) of the NBA G League Draft by the Westchester Knicks. He joined a backcourt of Travis Trice, Jimmer Fredette and Jordon Crawford. With a talented backcourt in place, minutes were hard to come by during the 2015-16 season.
In his rookie season, Capers played in 37 of the Knicks 50 games, and also played in the team’s two playoff games, while playing 9.3 minutes per game. Even with that, he was able to have some solid games throughout the season such as totaling 24 points the Grand Rapids Drive and Maine Red Claws.
