By and large, New York Knicks youngster Kevin Knox has been a disappointment for the team. But that doesn't mean he's not turning heads on the trade market.
Knox, who probably just needs a new environment to fully blossom into his full potential, is said to be garnering interest from other teams, per sources of Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Sources said teams are inquiring about Knicks forward Kevin Knox, who has played in just four games this season and has rival executives wondering the plan for the 22-year-old in New York. Knox scored 18 points, grabbed five rebounds and made five 3-pointers in 29 minutes agains the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday — his first extended run of the season. He was the Knicks’ No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. After averaging 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 75 games (57 starts) as a rookie, Knox has failed to gain traction in the organization, but could something change?
Knox has found himself buried on the power forward depth chart of the Knicks following the arrivals of Julius Randle and Obi Toppin to Gotham. He was an electrifying talent in Lexington during his college years with the Kentucky Wildcats but has yet to come anywhere close to fulfilling the promise of his potential in the NBA.
Knox, who is set to become a free agent by the end of the 2021-22 season, is still just 22, though, so it's not surprising to learn teams trying to gauge the forward's value ahead of the trade deadline.
