I read the article below. Knox seems to be doing well in Detroit and is valued there. To quote:

The word out of training camp is that during the summer, Knox was consistently one of Detroit’s best marksmen. That’s good news for a team that shot 32.6% from 3 last season, next to last in the NBA. Knox is a career 34% shooter from outside, but has been above-average from the corners.

In reply to Z–man.

These are games where I really want to believe that the preseason matters at all, just for Mitch’s sake.

But it doesn’t.

Still nice to see Mitch beasting!

Continuity definitely helps.

Preseason was successful. It kind of confirmed the rotation. I think we can give Memphis all it can handle.

There’s more continuity to this team than most Knick teams. So that should help us early in the season. Same coach, 4/5 of the starters are the same, a bunch of the bench guys are the same. Some of these guys even go back THREE seasons!

I mean the wiz aren’t great and porzingis didn’t play but yeah Mitch was beastin’ for sure. With JB on board he’s poised to have a big season.

Also nice game from RJ too.RJ has looked solid in preseason. Our starting five ain’t bad. If RJ and Randle can shoot 3’s at a decent clip and the bench is strong we got potential to make some noise this year. I think we’re the kind of team that can catch a lot of teams off guard bc of our depth.

It’s really gonna come down to Randle playing within the flow and having his head on straight, Thibs being creative with line ups and going with whoever is playing well and the young guys on the bench being more consistent. If those three things happen I think we can be very fun to watch.

Yeah, I like Knox as a nice kid. Not as a lottery pick.

Mitch is still only 24. I’m so glad we were able to retain him. He has needed a good pg as much as anyone.

Knox has really bulked up. I hope he can make it as a stretch 4.

Man we’ve spent all summer fretting over Randle and RJ becoming more efficient, hoping Brunson will bring a new level of play to the PG spot, wondering if IQ, OBI or Grimes can take that next step. And for all we know Mitch might just break the fuck out and wreck people this season.
