On a team filled with snipers, Knox brings a different dynamic. While he’s an excellent shooter (especially off the catch), his bread and butter is inside the arc. Knox can get to his spots consistently with minimal resistance. From mid-range pull ups to wrong foot floaters, the scoring package is well-rounded. The ball handling has improved since his freshman season and he’s more comfortable handling pressure. That improvement alone has drastically improved his overall skillset.

With the enhanced ball handling, his downhill attacking has been even harder to stop. Early in his career, a lot of his rim finishes were off the ball. Now when you watch, he’s able to break down defenders off the bounce and be multiple in his paint scoring. Playmaking is the next step in the process and with the talent around him, I expect that to improve this year. Defensively he’s disruptive in passing lanes and a constant communicator off the ball. The summer has been a little rough as he was dealing with an injury but he’s back healthy and will be ready for a leap this year for the Patriots.

Frey is a new face at Apex Friendship to get to know, given his ability to knock down shots at volume on the perimeter while also making things happen for others; he does well at getting teammates in the right positions to score; moves well without the ball to find his own openings and opportunities; active and unselfish in the backcourt

He’s producing 13.7 points, 3.7 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game on 41 percent shooting from the floor and 33 percent from behind the arc through their first seven contests. He’s proven that he’s ready for an early push when 2028 rankings debut in January on PH.

He’s a sizeable sharpshooter to know already in the 2028 class at Green Hope High. All he needs is a little bit of room to operate before he gets going on the perimeter as a shooting presence. Look for him to grow as he plays alongside his brother, Kody, a Fairleigh Dickinson commit.
