Five observations from the New York Knicks’ 115-108 road loss Tuesday at the Pistons.
1. The Knicks two draft picks aren’t progressing, but regressing. You expect a slower climb for rookie project Mitchell Robinson, a second-rounder. But something’s not right with 2018 lottery pick Kevin Knox, who is not shooting, passing or defending well enough to earn major minutes. He put forth another low-energy clunker Tuesday, not hitting for his first field goal until 2:13 left and finishing 1 of 7 for five points in 15 minutes. He didn’t have an assist.
Knox is shooting 32.
