It certainly didn’t hurt Kentucky to add a such a versatile wing to the mix, let alone a sixth five-star recruit, and Knox should start immediately this fall. Although he’s often listed as a small forward, Calipari said on a conference call in June that he envisions Knox as a shooting guard. And with four starters to replace, Kentucky won’t have any problem finding minutes for the freshman, whose 6' 11" wingspan may be his greatest physical claim to fame.
Whether Knox suits up at shooting guard remains to be seen — Hamidou Diallo’s presence could push Knox to the three, at least initially, while both Knox and fellow 2017 signee Jarred Vanderbilt help themselves with their abilities to play spots 2-through-4 if needed.
The No. 10 overall player in the 247Sports Composite, Knox’s versatility and athleticism make him a brutal matchup in the college game, and should be enough to make NBA teams salivate.
