#3 Kevin Knox

All jump back aboard the Kevin Knox bandwagon. After getting into a funk the past few weeks, Knox got back in a groove. He averaged 21.6 Points and 8.3 Rebounds in 3 games and had a career night against the Hornets with 26 Points and 15 Rebounds.

He became only the 2nd teenager after a certain LeBron James to put up 25 Points and 15 Rebounds in a game, which I'd say is pretty good company. Knox has been getting more playing time of late, as the Knicks look to hand over the reins of the offense to him with Kristaps Porzingis unlikely to come back any time soon.

The added workload does mean there will be many bumps and bruises along the way and it's unlikely that he keeps this up, though he does face the Suns and Hawks this coming week so we can expect some fireworks for the time being.
