Etiwanda coach Stan Delus commented on Knox's athleticism, per SCS Student Media.

“She’s turning into an absolute monster, both ends of the court,” Delus said. “Now we’re trying to get her to move around a little bit more so she can be more of a threat on the perimeter, but she still does great things with posting up, finishing, catch and shoots. Now she’s working off the ball… to get ready for LSU.”
