Knox II has reached double-figures in scoring in just two of his last five games for the Pistons, averaging just 6.2 points in 13.6 minutes per game in that span. The 23-year-old only holds value while the depleted Pistons are shorthanded in the frontcourt and should not be rostered just yet.

Knox became a free agent this week after the Atlanta Hawks chose not to extend a qualifying offer to the forward before the league deadline. He now joins the Pistons on a 2-year deal where he’ll provide additional depth in the frontcourt. Knox played in 30 games last season where he averaged 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 7.4 minutes per game for the Knicks and Hawks.

This means Knox may make his Atlanta debut on Saturday against his former team in the Knicks. Nonetheless, it is hard to see him having a huge role for a pretty deep Atlanta roster.
