GREENBURGH, N.Y. _ Mike Miller can't say enough nice things about Kevin Knox's improving overall game. The Knicks' interim coach was practically gushing about the second-year pro after practice on Thursday.
What Miller didn't say is he was going to give Knox more minutes and a greater role over the Knicks' final 27 games of the season beginning Friday night against the Pacers at Madison Square Garden. And that may speak more accurately about the confusing state of the No. 9 overall pick from two drafts ago.
Miller will probably not be coaching the Knicks next season. Scott Perry may not be back as the general manager. Steve Mills is already out as team president.
