Kevin Knox, a former first-round draft pick, brings a combination of size, athleticism, and scoring ability to the Warriors. Standing at 6’7”, he has shown flashes of potential during his time with the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks. His ability to play multiple positions will provide valuable versatility for head coach Stephen Curry as the team navigates this transitional phase.
Warriors General Manager Bob Myers expressed optimism about the signing, stating, “Kevin is a talented player with the potential to grow within our system. We believe he can contribute significantly as we look to build a competitive team moving forward.” Knox’s eagerness to join the Warriors was evident in his first remarks: “I’m excited for this opportunity and ready to embrace the challenge. Golden State has a rich history of success, and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”
With Curry’s departure signaling the end of an era, the Warriors are tasked with redefining their identity. The team aims to develop Knox into a key player while integrating him into a system that prioritizes ball movement and spacing.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Knox to see how he adjusts to his new role and how the Warriors adapt to life without their superstar. Fans are hopeful that this signing can pave the way for a competitive season and lay the groundwork for future success in the post-Curry landscape.
