Knox is currently shooting 36.4% FG on the season (33.9%3pt). For a player with his height/length/athleticism, it's a little surprising that he's struggling in this area.
Has anyone found any articles on whether this is bad shot selection or if he's just failing at shots he should be nailing? Or is this just a fitness level thing? Or perhaps growth-related limitations (his body is relatively immature and he's expected to grow another inch or two). Maybe this is the nature of the guy - he's a streaky player along the lines of Tim Hardaway in a bigger body - he'll have hot and cold games and we'll just need to accept that as part of him. Or he's like KP in that mild dings on his body (ie sore but not enough to put him on the injury report) have a big impact on his in-game performance. One interesting observation is that around this time last year (as a Kentucky freshman) he went through a similar swoon before heating up again leading into March Madness. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/calipari-on-kevin-knoxs-funk/ In any case, next season (moving forward) we'd have to hope he can get his FG% north of 40% and improve his passing for assists. “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks

First off, this isn't a slump. This is how he's played for most of the season with the exception of a couple of weeks in December. I don't know that he's going to be a good shooter, his 3P% is right in line with what he did in college.
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
