Dalton Knecht....

[kckempf]

Not bad. Someone else would step up. GBO

Yep. He couldn't stay on the floor against NC State and it was still one of our best offensive performances. Nobody else on the team could put together this stretch that he's gotten the past three games, though. If we can figure out how to get Véscovi more shots from off-ball movement they both could benefit.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

How bad would our offense be without him. He adds a lot of points to the final total in a very efficient way.

We'll never know. Irrelevant question, but we scored 90 with him having an off night.

 

[OneManGang]

That play tonight (Florida) where he put a little shimmy on the Gator defender and then drained a three in his face was just misuse and abuse.

 

[Dr H Lecter]

He reminds me of Indiana State Larry Bird-can score inside or outside.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Obviously, that remains to be seen. It is encouraging that he has had some monster games against quality opponents. Veterans like SV and JJJ need to be able to provide some offense as well if this team wants to make a deep run and of course ZZ must continue to do his thing. Luckily, there is still time for us to make improvements before tourney time arrives. We haven't played our best ball yet imo.

I think Aidoo ad a better game today and hopefully he can become more consistent against bigger and stronger 5s.

 

[BACKDOC]

Maybe sec but national will be eady

After tonight, I don't know.

Aidoo has been playing great

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

A lot of John Stockton in his game. Shades of Steve Nash. Bit of Bill Walton too.

 

[amaralfan1]

DK is obviously going to be a guy we talk about for decades to come. How many players have the Vols had who could put up 35+ any given night? We are seeing a legend develop in real time and it's very exciting.

He’s a beast. Most improved player on the team this year hands down.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

So basically he is a combination of every great white dude that has played. He reminds me of Jimmy Chitwood.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

He’s a beast. Most improved player on the team this year hands down.

His play shows he has been putting in some good work. He is gaining a lot of confidence witch means he will be more productive as the year moves along.

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

Did you see him go off this evening for 39 vs D Gattas?

No because of the time change I was in meeting.

The Larry Bird comparison...of course.

I can't think of a great comp for Knecht. It's a newer phenomenon to have somebody his size with his ability on the perimeter. Bird hit 3's but they were usually open and off the catch. Knecht is stepping back off crossovers to hit deep 3's.

That's a Luka thing, but he's not like Luka because he's way more athletic but not a playmaker at all. I guess it's closer to Tatum but he's not as athletic as Tatum and Tatum is a solid playmaker at this point.

Knecht is stronger, but I see some similarities with Allan Houston. Houston was smoother and was amazing finding his perimeter bombs off of his dribble. Knecht is stronger driving to the basket, although Houston used his finesse to get there.

Manu Ginobli, imo. Knecht is a better shooter, but it's a different era

Tatum was the one who came to mind for me as well. Reddick and Larry Legend comparisons are a little ridiculous imo.

 

[The Dog]

Tatum is like 6'10, tho.

Well, 6'8, my bad. Still don't see it, tho

 

[Voljayton]

Whoever said Luka nailed it. Very similar style.

 

[HBG88]

He certainly is an upgrade to from anyone that we lost last year (Phillips, etc.)

Knecht is hitting 3s in all kinds of ways. He's a little upgrade over Mike Miller or Joe Johnson, with a better ability to drive to the basket. Those are 2 comparable players. He's better than Grant

 

[Chris4Vols22]

We all love Knecht, but placing him above Grant is blasphemy.

 

[SGMVols]

Grant will have his jersey retired.

Because he’ll only be here one year, I think the only way Knecht’s 3 will hang in the rafters is if he leads UT to a national title.

Let's see him do it for a season first.

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

This one is pretty good.

Appreciate it!
