He averaged 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds with Golden State&#8217;s G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, in 12 games last year and appeared in 14 NBA contests.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Knox&#8217;s best season came as a rookie. In 75 games, 57 of which were starts, he averaged 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds, but shot just 37.0 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from three. In the ensuing 245 games between 2020 and 2025, he averaged 5.5 points.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">The Phoenix native has an intriguing theoretical skill set that keeps teams calling. He&#8217;s 6-foot-7 and a sturdy 215 pounds, carrying a 6-foot-11 wingspan with decent athleticism. Early in his career, he appeared to be a prospect who could develop into a true three-level scorer; obviously, that hasn&#8217;t panned out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">He owns career averages of 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">At this point, Knox is nothing more than a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency depth piece who can stay warm in the G League. The Bulls are deep on the wing, too, which makes this move even more confounding.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">Teams are allowed to roster 21 players during the offseason; Knox would be No. 19, which means Chicago doesn&#8217;t need to make a corresponding roster move.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago is the latest stop for Kevin Knox, who&#8217;s played for five other franchises in seven NBA seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":109035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
