Knox has to play in the summer league. He didn't get burn last year so if he's to show anyone that he still has game he has to go in the summer league. I'm for it.

3 years and 200 games in nba—- no need for summer league. Not because we don’t want him to play basketball but rather we need to focus on rookies and one year guys. He should be in g league

I doubt he gets a crap load of minutes. Nothing wrong with building a little chemistry and giving the youngsters some tips.

Knox needs this and it’s good that he asked for it.

Dude has to know he is a bust in many people’s eyes and if he wants to prove he isn’t, he better start soon.

Hope he gets as much time as he needs to start his turnaround.

KK being at SL is the new Knicks thing. The magic is in the work! You're on the road you find a gym to shoot after hours. After a game you shoot 500

For sure he has been a disappointment, but he's young, can shoot, is not an a-hole, and he doesn't seem selfish (think of what A.Trier may have been if he could get his head straight)

I'm pulling for him. I actually like our crew to a man

Argentina eliminated so Luca should be available for the full SL. Didn't shoot well in the Olympics. Think he can be a little trigger happy on the 3 but erratic. Would like to see him as a playmaker in the SL.

I still have high hopes for Luca. Hopefully, he shows us a lot in SL

He has shown me very little in Olympics - flashy handle and 3 point shot that looks good when it goes in. Otherwise he looks soft to me and his shooting stats are pretty awful during olympics.

I could see him being cut this summer if it helps Knicks add a legit pg or wing

I've changed my opinion on our SL starting 5. I want Immanuel Quickley to get as much playing time as possible.


C: Jericho Sims.
PF: Obi Toppin.
SF: Quentin Grimes.
SG: Immanuel Quickley.
PG: Miles McBride.
6th man: Rokas Jokubaitis.

7th man: Kevin Knox (still only 21 years old).

Tell me that's not an exciting summer league squad?!?!?

Out of deference to the "vets", I see

C: Jericho Sims.
PF: Obi Toppin.
SF: Kevin Knox
SG: Immanuel Quickley.
PG: Luca Vildoza

First off bench: Quentin Grimes. Miles McBride. Rokas Jokubaitis.

I would like Knox to be more dominant on the offensive/defensive boards.
And start slashing to the hoop by taking the majority of his shots inside the paint.

My super star Quickley I want in the back-court playing combo-guard, next to the rookie guards ..
IQ & McBride then IQ & Grimes.

Not much of a fan of Low IQ RJ Barrett, I was hoping we trade Barrett for a Vet starter PG on draft night like the Lakers did to get Westbrook.

I want to see Quick get some reps, but I really want to see Rokas and McBride eat the most minutes in the backcourt. I could see Knox, Quick, Obi and Luca starting the first game, and then the team using the rest of the games to the evaluate the youth. Nate already cemented the Knicks place in SL immortality hahaha Don't really care about standings or MVPs

I always say the same thing about SL, and frequently end up being disappointed...but I'm really looking forward to see this group play.

I hope there is some structure on offense, and little hero ball type shyte. I know they don't have much time to practice, but I like watching team play, and not just guys jacking up shots.

I find it intriguing how we're on the verge of playing against....

Cade Cunningham of Detroit (#1 overall).
Evan Mobley of Cleveland (#3 overall).
Scottie Barnes of Toronto (#4 overall).

We'll be going up against 3 of the top 4 picks throughout our first 4 games. And that's pretty cool.

• Would be awesome to see Miles McBride get after Cade Cunningham (as he did @ college).

• Would become super fired up if Jericho Sims gives the business to Evan Mobley.

• And as an FSU fan I'll lose my mind and go complete ape**** if Quentin Grimes shows up, shows out and shows off against my dude Scottie Barnes.
