What y'all think of Knox at this point? i'm undecided as even if he has improved there weren't any minutes with IQ, Burks, DRose, and OBi ahead of him off the bench.

He doesn't have trade value at the moment so we keep him but play him to build him up, and then trade him. Not every young player is going to work out in NYK.

I do think Knox has some trade value even if it's just fodder for a trade. He's also just 21 years old and he has shown glimpses here and there he has some game so he may be more than just salary to match in a trade scenario. Lots of NBA teams are willing to try and resurrect a young player's career if he has talent and Knox does have talent.
I think Kevin gets a shot at playing next season but everything for him is hanging on a lot of factors with the Knicks having multiple draft choices, a ton of free agent flexibility and a pressing need to manufacture more scoring. Thibs has shown he likes the 3 guard approach too which means in order to play Knox has to hope the Knicks don't re-sign Bullock and not go after another SG which moves RJ to SF. Or go after a SF in free agency. Even Dougie McBuckets is a better option right now.

I like to see him under one full camp with Thibs to see if we can get anything like his first summer league games.But I'm afraid he might be included in deal if we make one.

I do agree about lacking instincts. But his effort seemed to improve defensively. He's likely to be traded but i would not mind another year here. Unlike frank.

I don’t want to lose him bc i think the kid was immature and sttil young. He can shoot , he’s long, his defense looked way better. Shooting is a commodity we are short on. Hate to give up on him,

With cap space and two number one picks, he is more than expendable. If any team in the NBA views him favorably after what they’ve seen of him so far, he’ll wind up there as part of a trade. I mean he couldn’t get playing time this year, and you fully expect the roster to be much improved next year.

That's Knox problem right there RX nailed it.Were is he going to get minutes,not at the four becuse I expect Tobi's minutes to increase alot and give Randle more spells also seeing Randle at some small ball five lineups too.Knox can't play the three and like RX their should be some huge upgrades at the three I expect Powel and McDermott as free agents and Trent too so many players there no Knox ,his chances of getting minutes here are only if someone gets hurt .It might be best for all to move him in trade up in draft.

Darwinism. If Kevin is going to finally burst on the scene this is the year he does it though frankly I full expect him to get traded. Calipari said he was a late bloomer but I'm not sure the Knicks can afford to hold on to him till his 35th birthday.
