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

[@nunziofranzese7392]

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.

[@miguelthomas4476]

Nunzio Franzese You're an idiot bro

[@nunziofranzese7392]

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

[@AlphaDwg]

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

[@nunziofranzese7392]

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.

[@KyoyaTategamiLEO]

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

[@StaxMontana]

If Trae and MPJ are gone Knicks take him!!! PLEASE!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@bojqyu4451]

StaxMontana you don't want Mikal who is better right now

[@StaxMontana]

Wil Webb Fanpage well we aren’t really in win now mode.. Knox at 18 is way better that Makal was at that age. Way higher ceiling imo

[@Thunder-dc2el]

StaxMontana Yo What’s good Stax I hope Knick’s Can get Mikal bridges cuz we need some defense

[@BossofBosses111]

StaxMontana I would take him over Trae EASILY

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.

[@redpepperdave]

Welcome to the knicks my brotha!

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

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

[@KyoyaTategamiLEO]

He really does, kd is his role model and influences him a lot in basketball. He looks up to kd a lot.

[@dennismoses27]

I totally concur this one....Knicks finally nailed this one...Fizdale knows what he's doing

ESPN should have done these Draft Express scouting videos a lot earlier and for every prospect!

[@ethanstomp]

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.

[@javaar123]

He eff up when he said he just got by with athleticism in high school. No, he was just bigger than everybody else.

[@BurningFinger92]

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.

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 !!!!!

@@brendezen In retrospec now yeah def wasn't a steal lol

[@PoloBeeX7]

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

[@djkatanov2437]

WELCOME TO THE KNICKS KNOX

[@DaleTrinihooperAustin]

Film doesn't lie! He has to get better defensively.

[@joshnyamburi]

Dale Austin true. His body language was terrible too

[@DaleTrinihooperAustin]

I agree Josh body language is everything, hopefully he gets better @ that as he matures.

[@kyleyuan4398]

[@jpkclutch7780]

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

Yeh

[@martindagoat3909]

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

[@eurobubble7068]

should be a top 3 pick, its 2018 and not 88, some of these higher rated big men will not even be able to stay on the floor.

This is funny to read l. I hope you changed you your mind on knox

[@mikedice69420]

This is the only right analysis in the entire comment section 😂

[@timothyhall4794]

Knox is still too green, imo. I wish he went back to UK for another year, but he will mature into a star in the NBA.

[@nickyb6657]

And why did knicks fans boo him?

[@missstangerB91]

They need to put smart knick fans in the building during draft night. The “fans” that are always there are stupid

[@nikelaaaos]

KNICKS

[@lebronjohn20]

Could be totally wrong here, but seems a little slow for the NBA game. Anyone agree?

[@jamesedwards1284]

If we end up with anyone except him, lonnie walker IV or miles bridges tonight i will be furious. (Unless we trade up or something)

[@InFaMOus187NYC]

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

[@nickdreezy2457]

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)

[@Bovice..YT-handles-are-fn-dumb]

You can't honestly think this is better than moving up for Bamba, or drafting Porter.

[@AlphaDwg]

porter is 20, knox is 18. Knox could very well end up being better long term. I like both players though

[@scottmorris2797]

AlphaDwg and Knox hasn't had back surgery

[@Jesalllll]

Knicks should take him if they don't trade up for Doncic or MPJ

[@dylanwrlma]

Comments aged poorly

[@danielponce1728]

Reading all these posts saying the Knicks should get him is one of the main reasons I hope we don't lol

[@nickdreezy2457]

It's a Knox video lol of course. Any poll will show you the Knicks fan base are on the Mikal Bandwagon

[@danielponce1728]

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

[@jasonalba4004]

Daniel Ponce how you feel about Knox now?

[@nickdreezy2457]

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

[@jpkclutch7780]

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

[@jpkclutch7780]

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
