Kevin Knox Quotes

I think the best thing about my game that translates into the NBA is being able to create for others. Using open space and using pick and rolls.

When I'm playing the 1-guard, I'm kind of seeing everything that's going on. When I play the 2, I have a more broader understanding of what's going on and where the screens are being set in order for not only myself to get open, but for my teammates.

My type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off.

People aren't used to guarding this kind of size and I'm able to add a little finesse to my game so it has flavor and I'm a playmaker so I can create for my teammates and when I have to finish I'm gonna finish.

I can do a lot more by shooting from outside, score inside, penetrate, and make opportunities for others.

I think I can score. But personally, I like to pass first, because people love people who pass. And I'm a point guard, so my job is to kind of get people open.

I'm actually a better passer out of the post than I am in pick-and-rolls.

You know, pass now to pinch post, cut, shoot the shot. Do things to facilitate the offense. That's what I did in Alabama.

The key word is 'control.' I have to get to the point where I can do it like Magic does. That means penetrating, scoring more, taking over on offense once in a while, increasing my range on the outside shot to open things up for the drive.

When I'm in the pick-and-roll, I'm looking to be a playmaker first and to score second. When I'm playing off the ball and I catch the ball, I'm looking to be a scorer first and a playmaker second.

In pick-and-roll situations, I feel like the NBA is all pick-and-rolls, so I want to be able to handle the ball in pick-and-rolls and make the right read, make the right passes, and make plays for my teammates.

There's so many different styles to it. I use my athletic ability to create shots for open people, I run the floor, then also space the floor as well. That's what I try to do.

When I draw defenders into the lane, it's easy for me to kick it out.

Once I feel like I know my teammates, know where everybody is going to be, being a basketball player will allow me to attack from anywhere on the court, get better shots and facilitate.

I'm just going to continue to make good plays. Making the right decisions, good decisions with the ball so my team can play with a great flow.

The point guards that I like are the ones that are playing like point guards.

I'm one of those players who loves to dribble the ball, to run at people.

I think that's the type of game I'm better at - faster paced, just moving the ball more around.

You ask what position I play, I say point guard.

Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.

I want to be an offensive player, too. Play low post, midrange, take jump shots, and just be the best I can be.

Golden State was basically a guard-oriented offense so I didn't use it that much.

I'm more off ball, catch and go, spot-ups, cutting.

It's easy to draw up isolation basketball - it's not easy to draw up great motion offense with passing and cutting.

I think the thing that helps you get to the next level is being able to affect the game in different ways. And that's me getting my teammates shots instead of me just coming off pin-downs.
