Kevin Knox has long embodied a promising young hope. But after an encouraging rookie season, the winger got a bit lost. At the New York Knicks first, then at the Atlanta Hawks. To the point of hardly ever playing.
However, some franchises have not forgotten the potential of the 22-year-old player. And on this Free Agency, the Detroit Pistons have therefore decided to give it a shot. According to information from The Athletic Shams Charania journalist, the two camps have agreed on a 6 million dollar deal over 2 years.

At such a cost, the risk is obviously very limited. Even non-existent in reality. If Knox finds colors, he can become a very good pickaxe. And if he misses, Detroit, with the money to spend, can more than afford to live with that failure.
Then above all, in the Pistons project, he will find an interesting context. The Motor City franchise coach Dwane Casey should give it a real chance. It’s up to Kevin Knox to seize it.
