Knox is not complaining. In fact, he has indicated he was given too much responsibility too soon at age 19 on David Fizdale’s historic tank machine that tied the franchise’s worst record at 17-65

This is the same pressure that they put on both Frank and KP, meaning they really felt they didn't need Melo and KP would be able to take over..

That's why I said we have one of the worst development process, because our idea of development is run these young guys to death until they can't take it, then when they get injured or fatigue, your scratching your head. You can't even think right when your tired..smh

It was games where knox played 40 minutes, KP played 40+, and they have no role for frank so he's all over the place confused..

Where is the rest of the quote? We really don’t care what you said. We care about Knox. Hitting the wall and playing thru it was expected. With a deeper team its expected to roll back his minutes. Seems like your more intent on what your opinion is then discussion the team.

I'm just stating what you saw with your own 2 eyes, this is not my opinion..Fatigue is a MAJOR factor in developing anyone in sports. You defrost before you cook, you don't throw it in the pot frozen.

Its pretty much common sense giving someone as raw as Knox a bunch of mins and extra responsibility will have him have a lot of struggling moments as a young player. But the claims that its hurting their development is strickly opinion based by you.

Knox could have been given nothing more than 18mins a game as a spot up shooter and no other responsibilities. He could have maybe performed well in that role and shot 40% maybe. That also does not mean his development is going great because he was sheltered and only brought one effect one small contribution.

If Mitch Robinson was asked to start taking way more 3s last season as a rookie. He probably would have looked pretty bad doing it. But the goal would be for the long term.

of the top 15 players drafted last season, KNOX is the only one in summer league..

Basically he is the only 2018 lottery pick in summer league this yr...Thats how far behind he is from his peers

Suns - Deandre Ayton, C, Arizona
2. Kings - Marvin Bagley III, PF/C, Duke
3. Hawks - Luka Doncic, G, Slovenia (traded to Mavs)
4. Grizzlies - Jaren Jackson Jr., PF/C, Michigan State
5. Mavericks - Trae Young, PG, Oklahoma (traded to Hawks)
6. Magic - Mohamed Bamba, C, Texas
7. Bulls - Wendell Carter Jr., C, Duke
8. Cavs (via Nets) - Collin Sexton, PG, Alabama
9. Knicks - Kevin Knox, SF/PF, Kentucky
10. 76ers (via Lakers) - Mikal Bridges, SG/SF, Villanova (traded to Suns)
11. Hornets - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, PG/SG, Kentucky (traded to Clippers)
12. Clippers (via Pistons) - Miles Bridges, SF/PF, Michigan State (traded to Hornets)
13. Clippers - Jerome Robinson, SG, Boston College
14. Nuggets - Michael Porter Jr., SF/PF, Missouri
15. Wizards - Troy Brown, SG/SF, Oregon

You have the worst takes, man

He makes me laugh at this point. I kind of feel bad because he is always off base but its funny

off base?

I'm sorry, which one of these players is on a SL team.

FACTS..DUDE

You, Nolad and smack are "Rose Color glass wearing Homers"

Even when sht is painfully obvious, your in complete denial..that's hilarious, you have an excuse for everything they do.

You wanted the knicks to run the rookies to death from the jump..nothing would make you more happy than seeing the knicks in the lottery 5 more yrs..

You always telling us what other people are thinking. that's not fact. That's your opinion.

Your making it seem like Summer league is "Summer School", like he is playing because he did not pass his course.
sometimes you take a course to get ahead.
Ask questions instead of laughing. It looks better.

Didnt want Knox to start, but Im glad he got the reps. 1248, as others have mentioned, everybody knew the kid was raw, you too. Raw enough to be still growing. You're expecting teenagers with one year of college to play like a 4 year college player. Thats the kind of performance you're expecting so soon. For all the bad numbers Knox put up, he also put up some records that put him in the company of some elite players at roughly the same age. Glad Knox is in SL.
