Kevin Knox Shot/Film Analysis vs CHA THREAD:

Knox shot 7-17 from the field, 5-12 from 3; tale of 2 halfs. 6-10 1st, 1-7 2nd. Combo of tired legs + being down a ton played a difference right? Let's see what worked vs. what didn't between both halves.

What worked? Knox 5-8 from 3 in the 1st half.

Corner 3s helped. 3-5 from the corners. Randle's gravity attracted PJ Washington's attention and he found Knox for an open corner 3 in the right hand corner. Always make easy buckets whenever you can.

What didn't work? 0-3 from the weak side elbow 3. But not all of it was due to weak shots, some was just pure bad luck.

See this. Nice swing action here. Knox passes it to Rivers and then gets a beautiful screen from Noel. Just missed the wide open shot by a nail.

What worked? Nice follow through.

I'm personally a fan of a nice follow through on a jump shot. Just watch this as Knox gets the pass from Elf for a semi-contested made 3. Best part about it - CHA called timeout right after. Momentum shifting - temporarily.

What didn't work? 2nd half blues.

CHA tried to contest more of Knox's shots in the 2nd half. Knox gets a nice off-ball screen from Randle for a wide open corner 3. Biyombo had a decent contest as Kev had to rush the shot. Prob couldn't sweep & sway how he'd like.

Botched 2v1 play here. 50/50 blame between both IQ & Knox. I think IQ gave up the pass too early, but Knox also ran out of gas on the break and put up a weak layup on the break against Graham. Down 17 - tired legs maybe? At least try to draw contact

What worked? This dope alley-oop to Mitch.

I don't think I've seen this from Knox ever. Out of bounds alley-oop to Mitch over PJ Washington. If he can replicate every now and then, this would be a nice wrinkle to his game.

That's all for Knox film. Maybe Rivers tonight? Let's see.
