Via Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area: "An interesting name on the Warriors' Summer League roster: Kevin Knox

The former No. 9 overall draft pick played 31 games for the Pistons last season and turns 25 years old in August"

Knox is coming off a season where he appeared in 31 games for the Detroit Pistons.

He finished the year with averages of 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 46.2% from the field and 33.0% from the three-point range.

Knox was initially the ninth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft after one season of college basketball with Kentucky.

He had a lot of hype coming into the league, but has been unable to live up to those expectations so far.

That said, Knox is only 24, so he could still be a good addition to teams who want to take a chance on developing him.

Free agent Kevin Knox II, a former top-10 pick, included on Warriors’ Summer League roster.

2nd round pick Quinten Post is not on initial roster, but I imagine will get added when the Draft day trades get finalized.
