According to Kevin Knox Sr., there’s still a chance that his son will pull a stunner and play another season for Kentucky.
The elder Knox says no NBA Draft decision has been made and there are several things to consider.
Check out his comments:
“We haven’t made that decision yet,” Kevin Knox Sr. told SEC Country on Monday night. “He really loves his teammates and he made references to: ‘Man, can you imagine if we all came back?’ Him and PJ [Washington] are roommates and they were talking about it with Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander]: ‘Can you imagine if we all came back what would happen?’ Man, that would be exciting.
“He was like, ‘Daddy, I really love the coaching from Cal and KP and Tony Barbee and Joel Justus and I love the BBN and I came here because of the stage, and I’ve got to take all that into consideration.’ It’s not just all about going straight to the NBA.”
Knox plans to go home to Tampa, Fla., this weekend for Easter and weigh his options. If he did pull a stunner and come back to Kentucky, it wouldn’t be the first time he delighted Big Blue Nation with a surprise. His commitment to the Cats came out of nowhere — about this time last year.
Obviously, it seems highly unlikely that Knox would stay in college because he is considered a lottery pick.
But…could you imagine the possibilities if he does stick around Lexington for another season?
