Throughout the now concluding NFL season, and ongoing NBA season; sports fans have gotten a heavy dose of Baker Mayfield and Luka Doncic coverage when it comes to rookie stars. Both are absolute STUDS and already two of my favorite athletes in sports!
. . .
Yet, there are two rookies who have been absolutely SURGING as of late (December to be exact!) and reviving their NY squads in dire need of a star.
. . .
For the Knicks, Kevin Knox has put on a show as of late proving to be an amazing scorer despite being the second youngest player in basketball.
. . .
He has truly proved to be a hard-working, drama-free Star the Knicks can build around for their seemingly bright future.
. . .
Put him with the broken out Mudiay, healthy Porzingis, a likely top five pick, and potential FA star? This Knicks team can be good in 2019/20.
. . .
Down south in Jersey, Sam Darnold has quietly OUTPLAYED Baker in these past three weeks.
. . .
Not only has he outplayed Mayfield and most other QB’s since the return from his multi-week injury absence, but he kept amazing pace with Watson and Rodgers these past two weeks.
. . .
If the Jets can find him a offensive mastermind HC, keep McCown (who deserves a TON of credit) in town, and give him a better supporting cast through their guaranteed top five pick, and cap space – the Jets can also be a surprise in 2019.
. . . . .
Are Darnold and Knox stars? Comment your thoughts below!

* I really had to get this post out. It’s been too irritating lately to see people think Knox is still a bust, and Darnold is worse than Allen and Lamar Jackson (which is so false, both of them are SIGNIFICANTLY worse)…
