He has all the tools to be special. Just needs to put it all together. Definitely worth a lottery pick. In three or four years if he’s the best player from this draft I would not be surprised
AlphaDwg All the tools? His left hand is atrocious, cant even dribble left handed, let alone hit a damn layup. This will be another draft bust for the Knicks, just like Frank Ntilikina. They like both Frank and Knox bc they are young and have potential, fuck that, I would rather want Sexton and Trae. Need that point guard to control the game from the get go.
SplashMelo Wow, you showed me 🤦🏻♂️ lol its true. His left hand sucks, watch the video. He continues to drive to his right and when he suppose to go with his left, he switches to his right hand. Its blatantly obvious he has no skill or confidence with his left
yes he has all the tools as in he has the size, frame, athleticism and scoring ability to develop into something I'm not saying he is there now. It's cool you think he will be a bust but nothing I said was wrong
AlphaDwg I never mentioned you were wrong, its just clear he has no left hand. A tool that shouldve been developed already. An NBA defense will easily pick up on that and force him left.
He’s a hard worker, always in the weight room by him self or getting shots off. Whoever gets him gets a humble hardworking kid that’ll continue to develop into something bigger than what people would think he’ll become
One team who i think should get him. KNICKS! KK and KP on the Knicks. Looks like a unicorn. Has crazy potential. 6'9 with handles and can shoot. Draft him at 9, dont take any chances and trading for the clippers 2 picks because he might not be there.
If the knicks can steal him and another 1st rd then get kyrie next season19-20 we will be best in East and could fight and older warrior team may win 1st chip in years
Great pick for the Knicks. He's young and with KP out most of next year he has time to develop. Ceiling is Paul George. Floor Kelly Oubre Jr. Most likely is Otto Porter.
SO much KD in his game, I mean that saying he gets to his scoring spot and he attacks whether it is a pull up jumper or catch and shoot. Plus his footwork is similar to KD, not Kobe, Derozan or Tatum type, but he gets to a certain spot and excels. I think he has to work on attacking more. Those were the same labels people had on KD. KD worked on that but he is so lethal with his pull up jumper that it is hard to guard him. Knox says he studies KD film, I would not be surprised if hes the best player in this draft
Wanted bridges or Trae young but absolutely fine with this pick. It’s a good pick he’s like what 19, we aren’t going anywhere until maybe 2020. got time to develop.
Waaaay too much splitting hair with the question marks. Sun is still developing his game altogether and the combine and summer league is what will truly show how Kevin Knox can and will measure against the NBA "elite". What did in his freshman year won't be a full on translation of his rookie year. He can get the reps at both forwards if need be while learning thru Tim Hardaway Jr and Kristaps Porzingis
I see alil. Jabari Parker in his game, alil PG, definitely similar to Tatum too, very nice Pull-up game, he can be nice as hell if developed the right way, Go Knicks and sign some more wing type players !!!!!
This draft class will probably be the best draft class of the last 8 years maybe even better than the 2011 draft. Your looking at about 8 players who could be future all stars at some point in their career
I preferred MPJ, Wanted them to Draft the MPJ despite the injury, and After seeing porter be able to 7 points in like 3 minutes a game and Knox not even cracking the roster in NY, I still wish they drafted MPJ
Im very indifferent on the idea of the Knicks choosing him. He doesn’t look quick enough to elude defenders on the next level & his defense is lackluster. He has upside but its high risk /reward. I would much rather Mikal , but if the knicks are sold on him , why not trade down with the Clippers & get him with Zhaire Smith or Lonnie Walker? I believe Kevin Knox would be there at 12
It's up to the clippers to decide if they want to trade up to the 9th pick. I like Mikal, and seeing him, frank, and KP defend would be crazy but I honestly don't see the dude averaging more than 13 or so points at any point in his career. Don't get me wrong he'll be a great piece to a team but he's not the transcendent player the Knicks need to begin competing. Mikal is of course better than Knox right now, but the big question is will Knox become better than Mikal when he gets to Mikals age? (Mikal will be like 22 when the season starts and Knox is only 18)
So you're telling me his strengths are: Physical Profile, Versatile Scorer, Defensive Potential and Age + Upside.. I'm confused Why this guy isn't projected in the top 5.. and his comparisons are Paul George and the GOAT 🐐 Jayson Tatum.... MANNN Whoever gets him will get the steal of the draft
Nick Curry Zero bc this draft is loaded plus those others guys are either more polished or are more consistent but he could turn out to be a top 6 player in this draft
He could definetily be the steal of this draft hes worth the risk and he will be available at #9 so Knicks should take him unless 1 of the top 5 prospects is available I think he will be better than atleast 2 of prospects picked before him
Nick Dreezy Yeh I think the mikal wagon has been packed for so long the fans just got bored plus there's a chance he's gone by 9. I think carter will be there at 9 if hes not going 7
How do they boo this kid? He’s solid all around and a 1 year guy? Knicks are trash because of their fans at this point which is sad being that it’s New York, but the b-ball scene in New York isn’t what it used to be.
Y'all knicks fans complains 'bout everything and if they did something good like Porzingis does, y'all would praise them like its y'all god bruh im crineee
