Kevin Knox. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. SF. Kentucky. 7. 93

Thanks to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers could have the opportunity to add yet another top-10 pick to their stacked roster. A roster already consisting of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz, another premium talent may not be at the top of the list of needs for the 76ers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this pick packaged in a trade that landed the 76ers a superstar.

If the 76ers do decide to keep the pick, however, Kevin Knox should be the selection. I’ve got a feeling that the Kentucky product will be a player that, in a couple of years, everyone thinks he should have been selected higher, similar to Devin Booker.

Knox may have to come off of the bench early in his career, but will surely eventually find his way into the starting lineup. The potential is brimming off of Knox, it would be silly to pass up on his at this point in the draft. In my opinion, Knox as one of the highest upsides in this class.
