Dalton Knecht is a senior guard who plays for the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols are a 2 seed in the Midwest region of the tournament bracket and could be set to make a deep run, giving fans and couch scouts across the nation a chance to get a good look at Knecht. As an NBA Draft prospect, he is an excellent scorer and secondary playmaker for any team that needs an offensive burst. A first-team All-American and widely regarded as one of the best players college hoops has to offer, teams like Utah would be crazy to disregard what he can add to a team.
"Talented shooter off the dribble with multiple moves to create space. Tennessee relies on him in must-score situations, and he has a feel for running the pick-and-roll, so he could develop into a primary option. At a minimum, his handle makes him a weapon attacking closeouts, slashing, and running transition offense."The Ringer
A 40% 3-point shooter and dynamic scorer who has shown flashes of playmaking ability in his time with Tennessee. Knecht averages 21.1 points per game this season and has become the go-to scoring option for one of the best teams in the nation. He's a smart cutter and off-ball weapon, so you don't need to worry about dumping heavy usage into his development. His struggles have come mainly on the defensive end. Off-ball defense has been a strength of Knecht's, but he's often the weakest link defensively and can be targeted by opposing offenses. Improving on that end will be key to success in the NBA.
