Former New York Knicks 1st-Round Pick Is Still A Free Agent

Kevin Knox is returning from a year in which he played 31 games for the Detroit Pistons (11 starts).

He averaged 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 33.0 percent from three-point range.

By mid-year, the 25-year-old was exchange to the Utah Jazz (which then renounced him).

Knox currently remains a free agent who is available to sign with any NBA team.

During the offseason, Knox played for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Summer League.

He on average 16.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game on 47.1% shooting and 35.1% from three-point range in six games.

Knox was originally the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft after one season of college basketball at Kentucky.

He spent six seasons in the NBA with the New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers and Atlanta Hawks.

His career averages are 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 39.2 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from three-point range in 306 regular-season games.

Additionally, Knox appeared in three NBA playoff games with the Knicks and Hawks.

Considering Knox is still so young (and a recent first-round pick), he could be a nice addition to a team before training camp begins next month.

He played well enough in the NBA Summer League to show that he can still continue to develop in the coming seasons.
