The Boston Celtics are looking to fill two open roster spots with players on minimum contracts due to the cap constraints created by the NBA’s new, punitive collective bargaining agreement. One option according to “Locked On Celtics” host John Karalis (h/t Heavy’s Adam Taylor) is signing Kevin Knox, a 24-year-old player who has had limited opportunities in his five-year NBA career.
While Knox would likely play a deep bench role, it could help him rebuild his value in a league he might otherwise end up out of this season.
Boston is likely looking for a player with a more proven track record given its focus on contention, but if it was looking to find a potential redemption project, it could certainly do worse than Knox and his career averages of 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and a 34.2% 3-point shot.
