Kentucky F Kevin Knox headlines Friday’s workout session

By Josh Liddick, Sports Talk Philly editor 

After a week filled with pre-draft workouts, the Philadelphia 76ers are set for another day with new slate of players, this time only one player that's projected to fall into the lottery.

According to The Athletic's Derek Bodner, Kentucky forward Kevin Knox is scheduled to work out with the Sixers on Friday.

Knox seems like he's the equivalent to a cult classic film. Some people adore him as the No. 10 pick, others just don't.

In his one season at Kentucky under John Calipari, Knox averaged 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, shot 44.5 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from downtown, a number that you'd like to see a little higher. Knox is 6'9" and would fit in either the 3 or 4.

At the end of the day, there are better picks for the Sixers at No. 10 than Knox, but it surely doesn't hurt to get a good look at him.

The rest of the players listed in Bodner's report check out to be mid to late second round picks and since Elton Brand has been a staple at these workouts recently, it doesn't hurt to be scouting out G-League talent either.
