Not that he shouldn’t be, but there’s no doubt that GMs around the league are noticing him, especially after today. Ayton and Doncic go 1-2 in any order (I’d take Doncic) and Jackson and Bagley go 3-4 in any order (I’d pick Jackson, in fact, I might take him over Ayton). Bamba and Carter probably still go 5-6, and SGA and Knox probably go 7-8. Then Young, Sexton, the Bridges and Huerter in some order.

He’s justifying the pic and has clearly improved as the season has gone on. His transition to the pros would have been a lot easier if the team had a competent point guard. Unfortunately for him, he’s stuck playing with selfish chuckers (Iso, Hardaway, Burke) or clueless (Mudiay) lead guards.
I have no doubt that if my prayers are answered and the team either drafts or acquires a decent pg, Knox will show even more promise.

is a ball-movement friendly version of Carmelo Anthony,

He’s averaging 1.2 assists per 36. That’s even worse than Mitchell Robinson.

If Knox can end up being a legit 6’10” it’s going to be nice for what should be his best role as a 4, it’s a welcome addition as I think athleticism isn’t going to be an issue with him pretty much.

He’s showing a lot of encouraging things, he’s still mostly a massive negative on the court but he’s improving steadily. I don’t think he has superstar ceiling as I don’t see him ever becoming a super efficient scorer, but he might end up being a good scorer and decent rebounder who can fit well as the 3rd or 4th best player on a very good team, which is certainly better than what I expected.

Him, Frank and Kornet all seem similar in that way. Dotson too.

That might suggest more growth, or he might just be a guy with big feet. Didn’t Giannis keep growing during his first couple of years?

Embiid is a bit old school in that sense, but he can shoot 3s and keep defenses honest, even though his percentages aren’t great.

True, but sometimes the pace of today’s game seems too fast for him. He’s not great at running the floor, and his legs are a bit creaky for a young guy.

As to the comparison, I think if Ewing played today, he would have been fine moving out to the 3 point line a few times a game, he took a lot of 18 footers and was excellent from that range, so I think he would have been similar to Embiid in that way.

Knox is either going to become a very overrated high volume scorer that doesn’t defend or do much else to help a team win or he’s going to grow a little, get stronger, start rebounding, shooting, finishing, and defending better and become a legit superstar.

either way, that’s not a bad result for the number 9 pick.

Tobias Harris does seems like a good outcome for him.
