Second sentence is BS.

Knox has been terrible, one of the worst players in the NBA. He's not shooting well from any area of the floor and is terrible on drives to the basket only shooting 38.6% on layups: https://stats.nba.com/player/1628995/shooting/. And, until he gets that FT% up from a mediocre 71% his outside shot should be considered very suspect. |

The rookie ladder tracks rookies by week. The ones near the top have good games not just for rookies, but also for vets. Thats why it means something. Means you are expecting Knox to be a lot further in half a season. For some reason. Knox has made his share of high difficulty shots, but being a rookie, he still has some learning to do. Did you believe thst Knox should have just skipped that part? Fizdale wants Knox get better at attacking the rim, thats how you do it. Not shying away when your coach gives you the green light. |

Rookie awards in general don't mean anything but the rookie ladder is particularly meaningless. And he isn't even listed on it and I can't find the last time he was. I expect Knox to show some NBA skills that justifies his drafting. How many rookies can you think of that have been as bad as Knox has this year? How many players can you think of that have shown a complete lack of secondary skills like Knox has? Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
