5-star SF Karter Knox sets Louisville official visit

Atlanta Overtime Elite five-star small forward Karter Knox will take an official visit to Louisville this weekend, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.

Louisville is one of Knox’s four finalists in a list that includes Kentucky, USF and G-League Ignite.

Knox is the nation’s No. 13 overall prospect and No. 5 small forward in the 2024 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 prospect in Georgia.

Knox has an On3 NIL Valuation of $331K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Karter Knox Scouting Summary

“Karter Knox is a lengthy and explosive wing. His frame is very projectable and already physically developed, and he has broad shoulders with arms that flow down; should add good weight relatively easily once he gets to a college strength and conditioning program. He is a straight-line driver off the bounce. Gets into the paint and violently attacks the rim, playing way above it. He plays well out of the dunker spot, is an apt back-door cutter, and attacks the offensive boards. Would like to see him develop the jump shot more, at least become average in the catch-and-shoot.

“The form and release are ok, balance points and trajectory are inconsistent. He is a strong straight-line driver, needs to develop a counter or two if he gets his path cut off. There is a lot of upside defensively. He has great length with quick twitch and explosion. Can switch down a lineup and guard fours also the athleticism to run with twos and threes. Will need to continue tightening the mechanics and keeping a consistent motor. Is the younger brother of NBAer Kevin Knox.”
