GIANNIS Without The Work Ethic? What Happened To Kevin Knox? Stunted Growth

[@stuntedgrowth]

Can Kevin Knox turn it around? Will the #knicks be sorry for trading him early? NEW CHANNEL "The Miss"🚨kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHXoaxoj9B7rpI

At best he can be a roleplayer, at worst, out the league by this year

[@tribalypredisposed]

A player like Knox I wish we could see what would happen for them at Golden State or Miami where they could have top vets show them how it is done, have top coaching on shooting and all the rest. The man was drafted after one year of university for his potential and then he was thrown out there on a crap team right away and given a year to magically figure it all out on his own.. Year after year these crap teams like the Knicks take lottery picks and turn them into trash, while the good teams take end of the first round to undrafted guys and make them top talent. How much of that is the difference in being able to identify talent and how much of it is in the ability to develop and cultivate talent? Stunt number one, being drafted by the Knicks... always.

Comparing Knox to Giannis might be your wildest take yet

[@moneyman4740]

It wasnt a wild take , it was actually being said , go to Kevin Knox summer league highlights from 2018 , all you see is Giannis comparisons , his game was a long / athletic wing who slashed and ran the floor

[@jonathanakcay]

@@enthusiastofcute I'm not arguing with you about that. I'm saying fans saw that first play and that's really where the comparison sky-rocketed because pre-draft people were throwing Giannis's name around with Knox as a comp

yea hind-site is 20/20, wasn't that wild back then. Giannis also was not the most dominant player in the league that season too when those claims were being made so. That take aged horribly tho lol

[@empirestate2391]

He always struck me as a guy who's just happy to be in the NBA. The guys been in the league for five years. He has access to the top trainers, equipment, nutritionist. He has to want it more for himself than other people want it for him. I guess there's a reason why I don't see any workouts of him in the off-season.

[@tedlessor3887]

Lol... Some people only need a couple million and they good.

i followed keving knox pretty heavy becuase im a huge john calapari fan. he had some motor issues agression issues at kentucky throughout that one season. it def showed up at times during the season. also i think something you should have mentioned is his lack of ballhandling hurt him too. by the end of the year shai gileous had emerged as the best player on the team.

[@andrebryant5081]

I'm still confuse why the Knicks figure they drafted the best player on that Kentucky team

Ima big John calapari 2 I agree wit this💯

[@pistolpete3199]

The surprise in Adam Silvers voice is hilarious he damned near laughed

[@dellblackman4565]

Great video... however one repeated inaccuracy in the beginning. He was measured as 6'9" in college and is incorrectly listed as 6'7" in the NBA. At the combine, he still measured 6'9" in shoes which matches what he had measured earlier. He did not lose two inches and is a forward capable of playing either small or power. So, in reality, he does qualify as a 6'9" small forward.

I think Kevin Knox could have decent career in the league...I thought he wasn't top ten pick imo..but he ball and he's definitely a wing guy who could come off the bench and give at least 8.5 to 12 a game if he gets a chance! It's all the chance and fit..

[@anigga]

[@chamilton4962]

Some of these young kids are being forced into the league early because of hype- some well deserved, but with bad advice and misrepresentation. Going to a franchise like the Knicks doesn't help worldly talent if your not mentally ready. Their one of a few teams that draft the same type of player in the lottery every single year. Imagine what that does to a 19 or 20 year old prospect! Constant change isn't good for everyone, especially if your not given the tools and proper development to succeed. Hopefully this kid keeps working hard and not let his struggles conquer his God given gifts.

[@bigdaddyc7266]

When evaluating players one of the things I would look for is competitiveness. Does the player try hard on both sides of the court. Does he possess any intangibles to help you win. Kevin just wasn't that in a Knick uniform. Sometimes Knick management have neglected this and have many misses in the draft. Lately things are improving.

[@AggravatedMan365]

As a Knicks fan I was so disappointed with this pick. Knox has no motor whatsoever, he really doesn't look like he belongs in the league. I wanted either one of the bridges boys. Just another wasted pick by the Knicks.

I never got the Giannis comparisons until I saw these high school clips they do look eerily similar

[@andrebryant5081]

If you made the NBA and above 6'5 you Giannis pretty much 90% of the high school competition. Knox didn't do this in college or the NBA at all.

[@mothmanevolved8748]

So much talent there

[@bossplayagaming5254]

He played was my sons little league quarterback football was his real calling . His dad played for the bills and Florida state

[@andrebryant5081]

Most QBs don't last at 6'7

[@krfboothe6205]

What about Noah Vonleh for a stunted growth feature?

[@Lola23339]

His official measured height, without shoes, at the NBA draft camp was 6'7.75." He also has a 9'0" standing reach (John Collins just got paid a lot, he's 6'9" and his standing reach is 8'10.5) so the two inches (from 6'7" to 6'9") are meaningless. Most NBA players add an inch or more because of shoes and Knox is right at 6'9" with shoes.

[@itz-luigi1210]

He just got measured by the Pistons at 6'7. The wingspan is massive so I agree it's a non factor where his head is measured

[@andrebryant5081]

Him being listed at 6'9 compared to 6'7 help his draft stock back then

[@timothyharrison5810]

We need a Stunted Growth on Perry Jones.

[@tarrence22]

I honestly still think he has yet to peak, and just needs to relax and have fun and be with a team that will let him go with zero pressure .

kevin the type of guy that needs to be on a fully rebuilding team and be given 30+ mpg for a whole season to get comfortable and gain confidence i can guarantee you hes better then 70% of starting wings in the league. He is soft and has 0 dog in him and defense is subpar but offensively a different story hes acurate from 3 but its tough coming in cold off the bench and knocking down 3 after 3 if he got consistent minutes easily a 15 5 2 guy capable of high 30's thee point % which is all you need from him

[@samoso6979]

I remember watching him in HS he played my brothers team and went off

[@johnnikollaj496]

He's not Giannis but hes not horrible. He's incredibly inconsistent. Some games hes a star but most of the time he leaves you disappointed. He's had opportunities to bust ojt but he never has. I think that he lacks killer instinct. Im not asking for Jordan or Butler intensity but if he had 1/10 of their intensity he'd be a completely story. He's not a killer. Its simple.

[@thebighurt3172]

[@dbloccckkk772]

He deff dunked on Ben Simmons tho

[@thepodcastnobodylistens2199]

I think you forgot the most important part. Change in management and coach. One Rose and Tibs came in he got pushed to the end of the bench. His 3 point shooting improved. In atlanta they didn’t play him. If he get 10-15 a game in Detroit it will be the most playing time he gotten since a rookie
