Looking At Knox<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>GettyKevin Knox speaks with media after being drafted ninth overall by the New York Knicks<\/a> during the 2018 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center on June 21, 2018 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.\n<\/p>\n

Knox was the 9th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft (by the New York Knicks) after one season of college basketball at Kentucky.<\/p>\n

He spent the first four years of his pro career in New York.<\/p>\n

As a rookie, Knox averaged 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest.<\/p>\n

Following the Knicks, Knox had stops with the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, Detroit Pistons<\/a>, Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> and Golden State Warriors<\/a> over seven NBA seasons.<\/p>\n

His career averages are 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.3% from the field and 34.0% from three-point range in 320 games.<\/p>\n

He has also appeared in eight NBA playoff games.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about the signing:<\/p>\n

Jason Beede:<\/a> \u201cWith those four players waived and Knox II signed to an Exhibit 10 deal, the #Magic have announced their training camp roster, which stands at 20 players, including three two-way players. After media day Monday, Orlando opens camp Tuesday. The NBA is just about back!\u201d<\/p>\n

@gswcba:<\/a> \u201cReally want to see Kevin Knox earn an opportunity on an NBA roster this year. He\u2019s played 78 games in the G League across the last three seasons, improving his efficiency each time. Can absolutely be a back-end rotation player somewhere. He\u2019s put in the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

@StephenMagicHQ:<\/a> \u201cKevin Knox in a Magic jersey. I know a bunch of you guys wanted to draft him back in the day. Well you got your wish now\u201d<\/p>\n

@OMagicDaily:<\/a> \u201cTampa-native and former Knicks first-round pick Kevin Knox II is your final camp invite. The #Magic\u2019s training camp roster is set!\u201d<\/p>\n
