NBA 2018-19: Rookie of the Year Power Rankings Week 11

#4 Kevin Knox

Kevin Knox

Kevin Knox drops down a spot after two mediocre outings to close out the week. He started off brightly with 21 Points against the Bucks at home, but it was all downhill post that. Knox managed 12 Points in each of the next 2 encounters against the Bucks and Jazz and was a non-factor as New York was blown out.

He finished the week with averages of 15 Points and 5.6 Rebounds, a significant drop from last week. I did expect to see some drop off from Knox this week as the Bucks and Jazz are both top 5 in defensive efficiency and going on the road to that lot is never easy, especially for a rookie.

Still, the competition is high from #3-5 and any slip-ups will result in a tumble down the rankings. It gets a bit easier for Knox this coming week with matchups against the Nuggets and Lakers.
