Well, again... Here's a clip from a year ago - in the workout he makes 4 3's in the row. He gets a lazy pass back from the rebounder on the 3rd one, has to step and gather himself and he still makes the shot. Whatever the case may be, it shows that he at least has a good "feel" for shooting from the outside. (I've set it to start at the 1:25 - the video also shows him doing some impressive "Frank Ntilikina-style" dribbling drills.)
http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=22617189&t=01m25s Like with many of these gym rats, the Knick coaches need to get him to see the floor a bit like a perimeter player and get him some exposure to playmaking. Robinson averages only 1.0apg/36. That's the absolute worst in the league. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2019_per_minute.html (Knox is 17th worst in the league at 1.4apg) In my opinion, this might be the area he needs to work on more than his perimeter shooting. We generally harp on Knox's inability to pass for assists, but as a group, our young players are particularly weak in this respect. The group of Robinson, Knox, Dotson, and Trier average 5.4apg across 99mpg. That's a blended average of 1.96apg per 36. You'd ideally want Dotson and Trier close to 3.0. Robinson does get a pass for now since if he touches the ball his job is to finish. “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks

More changes in direction, faster decision making. No way Knox was going to get there at 18, without a whole lot of trial and error. Perfect season for that. Encouraging article about the plans for Knox this summer from the front page. https://nypost.com/2019/04/09/expect-a-very-different-kevin-knox-in-sophomore-knicks-campaign/ |

Mitch is a straight up phenom. The game is slowing for him. He's still learning so much. He's also quick enough to hang with smaller players on the outside
