Dalton Knecht Sets New Career-High 39 Points Against Florida!

Dalton Knecht scored a career-high 39 points and had eight rebounds to lead No. 6 Tennessee past Florida 85-66 on Tuesday.
Jonas Aidoo had 19 points and a team-high 10 rebounds to help the Volunteers (13-4, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) win their 12th straight at home.
“Anytime Jonas is aggressive and locked in, he’s a major factor,” said Tennessee coach Rick Barnes. “The guys are starting to understand each other where they need the ball.”
Knecht averaged 32 points in two games last week as he captured SEC Co-Player of the Week honors.

Proud of Dalton, saw him relentlessly putting in work at the gym day and night. Tough kid, great mentality and ready for the next level. True testimony to working hard!

SO STOKED FOR HIM! LAKER NATION WE GOT A GEM!

[@CasterShellz]

His game very much like the old school 90s shooting guards. Similar to guys like Mitch Richmond, Rex Chapman, Michael Finley, etc. Great athletic ability to jump and dunk but also, the complete game; can dribble drive or slash to score, a midrange assassin, 3-point sharpshooter…can beat you in a variety of ways offensively.

You sound like a scout 😂

I was thinking Red Chapman watching him, plays very similar but a bit taller

Dalton will thrive with the Lakers. He will get so many good open shots playing alongside Lebron

[@jamesleonard98]

He’s a steal in the draft for sure. Look like a warriors rebuild type player.

[@dustinmanansala1183]

Ilove this pick ...a big size guard and sharp shooter athletic

[@healthfadsfade]

At first I was watching him thinking “oh cool he’s like Braun” but this dude is really really skilled . Hayward with a little more pop

[@vincehernandez9807]

NBA teams better not let Dalton fall to the Miami Heat like they let Jaquez fall to 18. Miami gonna turn Dalton into Duncan++.

[@jwordxyz]

thats a great spot for him. i would like my spurs to take him

[@straightoutdanawf13]

Seeing as scouts are so obsessed with age, I expect this to happen ngl

[@timboslice8559]

He’s more Herro than Duncan tbh

who's here because lakers just drafted him?

Yea this is exactly what lebron needed. A great shooter and can attack the rim. Russell dog shit Reaves still inconsistent and others are bad

This guy is 4-5 more 30 point games away from being a lottery pick

[@encinobalboa]

Dalton should have gone number one. Risacher is a good player but he is not in the same gym.

[@sachinruparelia]

Reminds me of Mullin

[@Hamiltonlloyd]

He’s d book with a 38 inch vert

[@hownotto4067]

He reminds me of me. But is 7 inches taller. Also he can run and shoot. Other than that we’re twins

[@adambruins]

Same When I think of him I think of me. I’m basically him and have the same skillset and can be in the nba if I also had 7 more inches..

Anyone know how good/bad is his defensive ability?

[@alexrogers128]

He is improving. Not great defensively but he is improving with time. His athleticism helps.

[@ScarbroughIsaiah]

Dalton connect. Looks like he’s left-handed when he drives left when he drives right he still looks left-handed

Reaves on steroids

His handle is similar to Reaves, and they are both shifty & quick to the basket and fall after the basket a lot. 😁

Low key Reminds me of Donovan Mitchh

[@scsc7698]

Him and the guy from Purdue should’ve been top 3 period nobody they pick up to he was picked was better sorry but either you blind or don’t know basketball he hungry he had a story and he works at it these the types of players that can change a game at anytime

whole time i thought his name was pronounced "crayched"

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

It can't be just becuz he's 23 that he dropped so far down right? Tell me there's something else like he's really 50 yrs old or maybe a large third npple? 😂

Depending on where he lands and which type of offensive system he plays in, he will most likely struggle for a while. Average player in the NBA at best.
