Kevin Knox II’s NBA Career
After one season at Kentucky, Kevin Knox II declared for the 2018 NBA draft. He was selected ninth overall by the New York Knicks.
Knox had a productive rookie season, averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The Knicks had no choice but to play the young forward back then since they were starting a rebuild.
His rookie campaign was the only year Knox averaged double-digit scoring. He was relegated to the bench in his second season and lost his spot in the rotation under Tom Thibodeau in his third year.
The Knicks traded him to the Atlanta Hawks midway through the 2021-22 season. He has since bounced around the league, playing for the Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors.
In 14 games for the Warriors during the 2024-25 season, Knox averaged 3.3 points and 1.2 rebounds. He played for the Windy Bulls in the NBA G League last season and wasn’t called up to any NBA game.
