Scouting Journals for Dalton Knecht

Players like Max Strus and Jaime Jacquez walked so that Dalton Knecht could run. The 6-foot-6 wing was one of college basketball’s most consistently big scorers this season. He averaged 24.9 points during SEC play while shooting 41.1 percent from three on 7.4 attempts per game. Questions arise on the defensive end and with his passing. While he gives effort guarding the ball and is a lengthy and explosive athlete, he would lose interest at times leading to easy buckets for opponents. While he scored at such an easy clip, he did average 1.8 assists to 1.7 turnovers per game. Even with that, there should be very few questions concerning Knecht’s offensive game translating to the NBA. He has the look of a plug-and-play guy ready to contribute early.
