The Knicks are mired in a five-game losing streak, but Knox has emerged as the team’s best player. Knox says the game is “starting to slow down,” and it shows in his numbers. In December he’s averaging 17.9 points and 6.1 rebounds thanks to a stretch in which he’s scored 20-plus in his last three games and five of his last eight. Knox credits his ability to hit his floater in the lane for his recent success. “It’s been really consistent the last few games,” Knox told Newsday. “So I’ve just been able to do that without going in the paint to the bigs. The bigs in this game are really good at walling up and not fouling, so being able to go to a floater [and use my] really good touch around the basket [works].”

Then I see Knox w his huge feet and see a similar trajectory and huge strides to the rim

Very happy w him and happy to be patient

Disclaimer. I appreciate they’re different style players but Knox already can shoot from deep

His D needs work and his FT's are awful. That being said. he willbe a scorer in the league.

Are we taking guesses? I'll play. He will be better than Gay.

I would like to see him become the type of player Tobias Harris is this season.
