Don’t look now, but Kevin Knox is averaging 10 points per game. If he keeps up this production, you will be able to look back on his rookie season five years from now and say “wow he was a pretty decent scorer for a rookie”. It’s the kind of season that doesn’t look out of place when compared with his (future) 20-pp seasons.
There’s no reason he can’t keep this up; 10 points really isn’t very many, and he’ll continue getting minutes as he gets… better? I think that’s what he’s doing, right now. Getting better. Which is good, because he was really sucking there at the beginning of the season.
This game was pretty good for him, except all he did in the entire second half and overtime was make a couple of free throws. Well, that’s not entirely accurate: he did also MISS a couple of free throws at the end that would’ve sealed the game for the Knicks. It’s a good thing that the Hornets are physically incapable of winning a close game or that could’ve cost them.
