I watch a lot of NBA basketball, but Detroit is one of the teams I basically have not watched unless they play the Jazz. Supposedly Knox has been playing decent of late. Detroit is stilm giving up on him like every other team he has played for to date.The "moved around quite a bit for some reason" can really be a red flag...
If Ochai takes Fonteccio's place as a starter the Jazz's starting five is losing in size and making defensive switches harder and strong PF/C types will be hard to defend in the paint. If Knox proves to be even some value the deal isn't all that bad (if he is even staying... have to see what still happens before the deadline - probably a lot). Who knows - maybe Procida will be a surprise asset (looks more athletic than Fonteccio tbh, but highlight videos are only that...).
I have watched him play for his other teams, and there is good reason he has been moved so much. Lazy/low bbiq defender. Poor closeout defender on 3s (similar to Collins). Can hit open 3s, has good frame and is athletic.
Not a great dribbler to the left. Often has had bad body language.
He is one of those guys that has all the physical tools but never puts it together. I don't thinm Thibs is a good player development coach, and that likely hurt Knox early on. Not optimistic Hardy and his staff can do when so many other teams have been unable to do. Maybe he will surprise us all.
I really like how Simone has played this year. Sad that the reward for it is getting shipped to the armpit of Michigan.
