Kentucky. Kevin Knox. 15. player. 142. Kevin Knox feels like a Washington Wizards pick. With so much money tied to their Big 3, Washington needs a rookie who can grow on a cheap contract and contribute. Their biggest need is a two-way center. With Robert Williams off the board they could gamble on Mitchell Robinson. Instead, they can invest in a 6’9″ combo forward with great measurements and a nice touch. The risk with Knox is he isn’t much of a playmaker or defender. So if he’s not an elite scorer, how valuable is he? Well, feeding off the playmaking of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. might be one of the best fits for him to do his thing. Washington’s got to take a bit of a risk here with how it’s set up at the moment.. PF
