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 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.

MORE dominant?!? i'd settle for any semblance of dominance!!

And start slashing to the hoop by taking the majority of his shots inside the paint.


he did that in his first summer league, and then early in his rookie year when he won Rookie of the Month in december over trae young. where has THAT disappeared to since???

Though not exactly the same...I think Knox has confidence problems, a la Frank. You can see the ability and, much more so than Frank, the physical ability he has, but either his BB IQ is non-existent, or he's just afraid to fail, and loses his edge if he has any bad moments.

My feeling is that he will be gone at some point during this year. I'd give him a long stint in the G League...I just don't see Thibs giving him time on the court when it counts.

Can we let Kemba Walker play with our Summer League team too?

I'm kidding.

Just can't wait to watch our born and raised NYC PG dominate the Eastern Conference!

Knox should have been moved long ago - the signs were there at the time we drafted him. Talented, athletic with a low motor. 3 years later and you would describe him exactly the same way. Since Cleveland reportedly likes him - dump him for a 2nd rounder or trade exception or cash...

Trading him & Vilzoa in a S&T for Oubre seems to be a good move. Oubre brings that length on defense to guard KD,etc.

Watching Kuminga at SL reminds me of Kevin's SL tear. Just so physically dominant that his bweakneases don't really matter.

I couldn't care less about Kevin Knox not playing summer league because yes he's only 21 but I don't see him having a spot on this years roster outside of 2-3 minutes per game.

It's kids like Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin, Miles McBride, Quentin Grimes, Jericho Sims and especially Rokas Jokubaitis who I'm A+ excited to watch. This kid Rokas Jokubaitis is going to become an absolute NBA Superstar once he finally joins the NBA.

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

I'll be SHOCKED if this squad doesn't win it all. Sunday can not come SOON ENOUGH!

If these KIDS win it all? The NBA won't be able to stop RAVING about our younger youth of potential.

Man. That first highlight from Miles McBride has me fired up. Him at only 20 years old? And being able to develop behind and learn alongside both of Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose? That's big time.
