North Augusta, S.C. – Karter Knox vividly recalls sitting courtside at Riverview Park Activities Center six years ago as an energetic 9-year-old, cheering on his big brother Kevin Knox and his Each 1 Teach 1 (Fla.) squad at Nike Peach Jam.
Kevin was a consensus top-10 hoops prospect in the 2017 class, dropping NBA threes and taking names against fellow top-tier prospect Hamidou Diallo and the Renaissance (N.Y.).
By game’s end, Diallo crushed Kevin’s spirit and won the game in one fell swoop on a turnaround three-point buzzer-beater from the left wing.
“I can remember that like I was sitting there right now,” Karter says.
