Kevin Knox takes responsibility for his failure to establish himself with the Knicks, according to Zach Braziller of the New York Post.
“I had my fair opportunity; didn’t make the best of it, unfortunately,” Knox said.
The ninth pick of the 2018 draft was traded to Atlanta last season, then signed a two-year contract in free agency with the Pistons.
“Got to move on, got to play harder, learn from it,” he said. “Learned a lot playing under (Tom Thibodeau), playing here in New York. I have to take it to my next chapter.”
We have more from the New York teams:
- Joe Harris made his season debut on Friday for the Nets, posting modest stats: three points, two rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes. He hadn’t appeared in a game since November 14 of last season due to an ankle injury. Harris was thrilled to be back, Brian Lewis of the New York Post relays. “Oh, yeah, it was amazing. The fun atmosphere, great team win. So I think it was a perfect, perfect game to come back,” he said. “Yeah, everything felt great. I was definitely a little winded, the lungs were burning. But you know, that’s to be expected.”
- Jalen Brunson hasn’t made a turnover in his first two Knicks games, Braziller notes. “He has a great understanding of the game, and I think that’s probably the most important thing,” Thibodeau said of his new point guard. “And I think how you manage and control the game is another strength. But usually, when you analyze turnovers, they fall into one of two categories. They’re either risky passes that you’re trying to thread the needle, or you’re going too much one-on-one. And he has a great feel for when to go and when to pass.”
- Nets coach Steve Nash said it wasn’t all that difficult for him to move on from this summer’s drama, which included a Kevin Durant request to the team owner that he be fired, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca tweets. “It was just that we needed to sit down at some point,” Nash said. “That was it. That’s kind of what happened. I would say our environment has been outstanding.”
Managing a gm is a talent. The reason a PG usually is the best at it. Cause he runs the offense and has the handle. Controls ball and tempo. Its been a long time since Knicks had a heady PG. That can also score. Watching him both gms. He looks so comfortable and in control. So glad we signed him.
Cam has a chance here in NY. I hope he grows up and realizes how good it can be here. Hes got the size and talent. To be the starting SF.
Knicks front office took some heat in the offseason, but deserves to get praise for the Brunson signing. A whole different level of organization to the offense. Much better decisions being made with the ball with Brunson.
The Knicks are another team that Luke Kennard would make a nice fit for. Too bad Fournier is pretty much not tradeable for anything of value. Let’s get Brunson some shooting.
I now have the Knicks ahead of the Miami Heat in my Power Rankings. Miami looks kinda lost right now. Herro is starting and the bench is a total disaster.
If Nash was smart, he would have done himself a huge favor and walked away from the Nets. It’s not a well-run organization and Durant isn’t coachable; what’s the up-side for Nash, besides the money?
Jalen Brunson is in the perfect situation to where he can flourish. He’s the New York Knicks most steady Point Guard since Mark Jackson. That’s what the New York Knicks need.
Honestly hard for me to believe Knox got a two year deal from Detroit
Not hard for me to believe he’s shooting 14% from the floor thru two games tho
