Dalton Knecht Scouting Report | 2024 NBA Draft Breakdowns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Dalton Knecht was one of the very best players in college basketball this season getting SEC POY, All American honors and becoming a Naismith finalist as a transfer from Northern Colorado. Despite being older, Knecht's ability to shoot and score it in multiple ways and hang physically on the wing will likely get him looks as high as the Top 10.

Who here after LA drafted DK?
Me!!! He looks decent but I think he’s trade bait.
here. informative video. can’t wait till summer league to watch this dude.
Better not be “trade bait”
thts wht made look him up lol
dude looks like a mini KD. plus he’s strong and bouncy
had no idea he had any bounce like that. unsure how much it’ll matter in his role in the nba but demonstrates a good athletic baseline.
It always matters imo because potential in transition + back door cuts w true verticality w his shooting ability is lethal
Great breakdown, Dalton is my favorite CBB player rn can you do Stephon Castle next ?
This guy knows his shit, great breakdown, as a UT fan, i think you nailed this scout.
Yes! @KeandreAshley is the best NBA draft prospect analyst and commentator about on UA-cam! @HoopIntellect is THE best! I would be lost without the film, breakdowns and insights.
Knecht is by far the best "ALL AROUND" college basketball player in the country...... On top of that I've never seen someone that is so electrifying. Unbelievable
A steal for the lakers
Dalton is by far, my FAV CBBP. I loved watching him play on Rocky Top. He has it going on! Gonna miss him, but will be watching him in the NBA. 🧡🧡🧡
Yes! Dalton looks like a great rotation player to add to a team that already has a core and an identity. If he joins a playoff contention team with strong defense and a decent PG, I think we will see him make an instant impact. I really like his fit with Houston, if we trade out of the #3 pick. I see him going #7-12
How he didn't choose to be #4 for Knecht 4 is beyond me.
good one!
He is Knecht 3. Cuz he always Knechts from 3
His age… teams shy away from older players at the top of the draft. They want 2-4 years of runway for development. If a team selects him to come off of the bench and shoot, then he’ll be ready to go as long as the defensive expectations aren’t too high.
@@lmlHTown1994 they meant his jersey number, not mocked pick
@@lmlHTown1994 Because of the game...Connect 4, Knecht 4...nvm🤣😆🤣
This was such an excellent video in every way! Great commentary, terrific clips, and nice text blocks at the bottom of the video throughout. Really well done!
Goated scouting report
To be real I have him going as high as Houston at #9 as late as #15
It's his feet/landing that intrigues me, he has a ability to float when he shoots and it has him landing with balance and stability that makes me think he's going to be a flamethrower shooter in the nba
Microwave Knecht Connection!
This ages extremely well
Breakdown was on point. I'm a fan. Great job.
Welcome to Lakeshow!
Love your content!
Any old heads seeing shades of the late, great drazen petrovic?
Holy shit you’re onto something
Please don’t disrespect the goat like that again
@@Eyescout222 fair enough reaction lol I said “shades of” for a reason
@@no.1againstherush sorry I should of read it better
@@Eyescout222 your good fam, anyone preserving the respect of Drazens name is a friend. He was a 1 of 1, for sure.
Would love his fit in SA. One guy you mentioned as a age comparison but not a stylistic comparison is Cam Johnson.
SA needs to get guys that not only fit next to Wemby, but fit well in a modern NBA play style context. Back in 2019 Phoenix drafted for fit with Cam Johnson and SA doing the same thing here could make a lot of sense. For a team that needs offense getting a legit 6’6 40% shooter that can play in a multitude of movement sets like pop likes would probably be a dream scenario.
I agree. I think you have to truly understand what you have in Wemby. A lot of people want that superstar or star player next to him. I don't think we need that. We need a bunch of guys who play roles and don't go outside of that. Surround Wemby with 3 point shooters solid passers and defenders and you have something. I think Kenecht really fits what we need.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078spurs should take castle at 4 knecht at 8
@@goodhair420 I wouldn't hate it.
The Pistons will take him at 5 if we don’t move the pick
Damn, you were spot on
Pistons at #5 or spurs at #8. Anything after that would be an absolute steal
My favorite non-UConn player
I think his all around offense is ahead of all those older players picked in the lottery would love to see him get drafted into a better situation like Jaime jaquez or Christian Braun
So he won’t be wasted like Corey kispert
Love the fit on the magic OkC and the lakers
While watching this breakdown, dalton gave a lot of shade of Grayson Allen with a touch of kris Middleton to his game
I'd like to see Dalton at pick #8 with the Spurs!
Pretty sure Portland grabbing him at 7 especially after his solo workout with them yesterday.
Yes! He would be an instant contributor. Only concern is how long are they going to be in development mode. If it is only 2 years or so, I would go for it.
Me too!
same here, people keep saying he doesn't play defense however Coach Pop would help this kid develop into the system
Lakers 17th pick
i think his role be a shooter like a buddy hield or luke kennard type guy. I think your comp of THJ is really good!
OK NOW IM EXCITED WITH THIS PICK!
You love how he can move off ball and get to rim and he a great shooter and he can shoot off movement as well.
While his peak might not be high his floor is really good and he can definitely make an impact right now especially since he a older rookie and he played a lot college basketball
Looking at this video he reminds me of Corey Kispert of the Wizards a really good driver and a really good three point shooter especially off of movement
Dalton Knecht can definitely score. Defense must improve.
Laker Nation let's go!
Future San Antonio Spur!!
Yes please!! 🙏🏽
Lakers.
They chose to pass on him. Should have taken him at 8
Surely OKC hope to god that he falls to them at 12? They need more shooting, he’d fit the movement and guard-guard screening and can have early impact as an older prospect
Welcome to the Lakers, Dalton!
He seems like the shooting/off ball version of AR-15. Solid pickup, hopefully he'll be able to contribute this season.
What a steal
This dude and Castle look a lot like Spurs type players
Welcome to the Lakeshow, Dalton!
Looking forward to seeing you on the floor at Crypto Arena!
Luckily I’m not a gm because I would probably draft this guy way to high, I feel like he is gonna be one of the best from this class
Great as always Keandre! Can we get Stephon Castle anytime soon? Been seeing him top 3 and I think that’s a bit too high. Any thought?
Reminds me of JJ Reddick but bigger and stronger
Stellar Info
he can shoot and not a defensive liability that is great.
I like his game. As Laker fan he reminds me of Kuzma with better handle.
Didn't know bro was posterizing dudes like this
That aggression bodes well! Dude's still unearthing his power.
Coach pop loves to coach these offball players
Can you do a Buzelis one next? Just subscribed :)
SO STOKED FOR HIM! LAKER NATION WE GOT A GEM!
😤😤
I've seem people putting this kid 9th or 10th in the draft but he looks too good to be in those positions. I can't understand how he isn't top 5
Bro he’s 23
@@susannebohler5397
and?
Perfect another old player the miami heat will draft.
@@juliangallo9949
If you do 3 or 4 yrs of college then of course you're going to be 22 or 23
All seniors are around that age.
Plus if guys like Le bron are still playing at nearly 40 then what are you even talking about?
@@paulidson1483 I’m a heat fan and I want them to draft him. I want teams to let him slip due to his age.
Would love to see him at OKC
Future Spurs #4 pick great fit
Yeah…about that…..
I don't love the fact that he doesn't sway much on the jumper. Seems like he gets his shoulders back without swaying though
I see some DBook if developed correctly
Northern Colorado legend
GET HIM TO ORLANDO PLEASE! I know he wont be around for pick 18 but he's so perfect for what we need that it's worth trading up
my player comp is bogdan bogdanović the one on the hawks
Good comparison but he's more athletic than bogdan
Do report on bronny!! 🙏
Lakers just drafted I’m interested to see what we got
If he was 2 years younger he'd be the number one overall pick hands down! I'm hoping my Blazers get him at 7 because he won't be there at 14 guarantee that! Not in this week draft class with way to many question marks on every other lottery pick.
Welp
Desmond Bane is the comp
Same
I’m seeing Micheal Porter jr all day
he measured 6'6.5 in shoes, MPJ measured 6'11 in shoes. mpj is massive
@@deesteven height is definitely off but moves like him, shoots like him and would probably play the 3 just like him
I guarantee you he will play defense better than most NBA players
I can see him playing for golden state
off ball threat w/sneaky athleticism
maybe his upside is in between a jordan hawkins and a bradley beal type player
he is taller than both and i trust his playmaking will be better than both
Him alongside Brandon Miller wiuld be deadly.
Knecht vs Matas Buzelis, whom between them do you think has more aggression to his game with that MJ killer/mamba mentality?
I could see him going to Memphis
welcome to gsw 🙌
How does he differ from buddy boeheim?
I wouldn’t mind pistons taking a risk to help Cade on the offensive side. We can get defense from FA
Gives me some prime Gordon Hayward vibes. I would be ecstatic if he fell to 13 for the king
Wingspan from NBA Combine: 6'9
Kinda remind me of a more athletic Bogi (hawks)
He's like Thunder Dan
Lakers!
I see Wally zerbiack for him as player comp
Bruh szerbiak's better at defense than Knecht wym
Pistons?
Perfect fit for the Detroit Pistons. Troy Weaver, GO GET HIM‼️‼️‼️
Pistons need a scorer like him, everyone outside of Cade is buns
The next Doug McDermott.
Hopefully he goes to spurs they can cover up his defense & he will fit right in their system offensively💯😴
He has sneaky bounce too surprised me frfr🤯🤧
Reminds me of oubre
moves and shoot like doug mcdermott
Toronto would be a fantastic fit at 6 or 17. If Toronto moves into top 3 they will go for Sarr. Look for Toronto to trade boucher and brown at draft.
Imagine he goes to the bulls and he learns so footwork from dbo..
Reminds me of Grayson allen
That was pre vid and hoop said he’s a Grayson reminder so it looks like I was spot on
Lakers it is 😀😀😀
Reminds me of Kevin Huerter.
If the Raptors pick conveys can see the Spurs taking him as they need wing help and he’d 100% be perfect off the bench playing with Wemby
Lowkey call me crazy but I think he can fill a Jaime Jaquez Jr. type role probably not as good but I would say similar production but not as lengthy or strong
We have
To move up
💛💜
Bojan is biger but better comp. 16 to 22 point scorer in the NBA
I see bogdon
I have a bad feeling the Pistons will draft him with the 5th pick
FINALLY
Desperately need the Pistons to pick him
Future OKC⚡️
He going before 11 bro 🤣
@@2ClutchCorey Sam can get him if he wants him 🤷🏾♂️
Next Austin Reeves
Splash brothers?
I want him on the bulls
Welcome to the Chicago bulls🏆
He'll go to the Blazers at #7.
Hopefully the Pistons can get him.
Why yes Knecht and no Baylor Scheirmann?
Baylor had a great year but didn’t get as much national coverage as Dalton.
I think Knecht has more three level scoring and shot creation and is a little better defensively. Scheirmann is underrated though
Knect gonna be good playing with Lebron!
Top 5 pick
I think Bogdan Bogdanovic is almost the perfect comparison. Just sub athleticism for playmaking
WELCOME TO LA
The Jazz need to pair him with Lauri.
