2018 NBA Draft Big Board: Mid-November
By Max Holm
26. Kevin Knox – Kentucky
Kevin Knox is part of a very athletic group of Kentucky freshmen that have a lot of question marks. Given his height at 6’9″, his 7’0″ wingspan, his ridiculous bounce and his young age, he’s extremely intriguing.
Right now it’s unclear what Knox does well that’s not tied to his athleticism or jumper, and that jumper is still not a given. However, his 3-for-6 shooting against Kansas was a good sign. Knox needs to commit to becoming a defensive menace that can switch ball screens and attack the glass. Otherwise, his unpolished game and suspect shooting leaves a lot to be desired. But the shooting and athleticism makes him so enticing all the same.
