4.Kevin Knox struggles again

It’s hard to explain what exactly is going on with Kevin Knox. Is John Calipari using him wrong? Is the physical play of the SEC too much for him? Knox is clearly struggling, and that’s what makes it worse – it’s clear to everyone. UK started the season with Knox as a perimeter player that looked to knock down outside shots. Then Calipari’s focus was for Knox to attack the paint and the rim. Calipari is now focused on using Knox as a post player. I think the UK coaches need to think good and long about what is best for Knox and the team. Don’t try to turn him into something he’s not. You remember Skal Labissiere, right? The consistent struggles of Knox is made worse by the poor play lately of Diallo as well.
