According to you Trae wouldn’t be able to do what he’s doing in the NBA
Hmmmm....
That's besides the point
But what does it say when a guy like Trae who no one expected to amount to much of an NBA player is finding more success and faster than a blue chip prospect like Booker?
It's looking like homecourt is gonna come down to this game on Friday. Can't wait

It would be a mistake to **** on the kid too much. He's been miscast as can be, being thrust into a first option role on a crap team
Realistic expectations to begin with should have been that he would be a 2nd/3rd option. He's in the eye of a perfect **** storm to have a horrendous first year, not surprised it has been historically bad

That’s unfair to compare the two in this manner
Different conferences, different positions, and plus...Trae’s really damn good

35% from deep on five attempts a game is kind of encouraging. He's put together a decenet stretch of games over the past month, too.

I think Kevin Knox has a future in the league. But I was high on him coming into the draft. He’s much father behind than I anticipated that he would be. Looks the part of a shooter though.
Thought he would be bad but not ‘this’ bad. Expected more moments of optimism from him

I thought the same thing.
He's been awful around the rim & I don't think he knew he was allowed to pass the ball until like January. Hopefully he improves around the rim as he gets stronger.
His handle & footwork needs a lot of work, too. He's been stripped a lot while driving. With his footwork, his layup attempts sometimes just look...off. Like he'll take off with the wrong foot which leads to an awkward finish.
All that being said, he's still just 19 years old playing on the worst roster in the league.

Fat Boy Windhorst is a complete hack and a joke.
He needs his NBA awards voting rescinded immediately.

Kevin Knox isnt the type of player you want at the wing position. He cant play defense, cant create, and doesnt have the instincts to be a great scorer.
He's a good catch and shoot shooter though. Did he improve as the season went on? I dont think so.

Much better support system. Knox seems like he actually wants to be good. Gonna be interesting to see how good he'll look next season.
