Following John Calipari to Arkansas after originally committing to Kentucky, Karter Knox will have to stand out in an experienced rotation with decorated guards, bigs and forwards.
Still, even if his role remains limited compared to most other lottery picks, his positional strength, attacking and confident shot-making should still pop to scouts.
He’ll likely have to sell them with flashes, rather than consistent production, playing in a lineup with D.J. Wagner, Johnell Davis, Trevon Brazile, Jonas Aidoo, Adou Thiero, Zvonimir Ivisic and fellow freshman Boogie Fland. But he should be capable of impressing with those flashes of scoring versatility skill for a 6’6″, 225-pound 19-year-old wing.
