Knecht in the latest ESPN mock draft

[BisonVol]

I’ll forever be a Lebron hater, but I’ll get over that pull for DK. Lebron will be out of the league sooner rather than later anyways.

Still a little concerned about the fit in the short term. Zero confidence in JJ Reddick

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

Yes with the blazer DK.

 

[Chad Powers]

THIS is why I haven't watched an NBA game since Jordan left Chicago...

Same

 

[TheBigOne10]

DK you are a legend and a Vol for life. Go prove all these absolute dumbasses what they missed out on.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That’s so cool. God I love DK. He has the baseball team on the inside of his jacket. Such a VFL.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Lol what an awkward interview.

 

[JCP201]

His coat. Full of VOLS logos, I love this guy--will become a Lake fan.

 

[Through_The_T]

I like the fit for DK honestly.

Probably a blessing in disguise for him to fall there.

Knecht may be the only player tonight who represented his school so proudly on the stage. Says something about the state of college sports - but says a whole hell of a lot more about Dalton.

 

[vavolfan6]

Lebron should be doing handstands at the news if getting Knecht. He couldn't find a better, more immediate talent to add with a 1st rd pick. The NBA done f***ed big time. Lakers have their missing contributor.

 

[Voltopia]

Lol what an awkward interview.

He probably was working hard to avoid cussing out all those teams that passed on him. I know I would. "Dalton, what are your feelings on being drafted here tonight?" "I'm about to *censored* Arya Stark these people."

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I think he will benefit from playing with LeBron and Davis if he stays on the roster. If it doesn't work out, I'm sure he'll land at a better place in due time. NBA teams often move fast in that regard.

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

I see the LBJ haters are out in full force, but the Lakers have a plethora of legendary players that can mentor DK. Too bad KB is not still on this earth, he would have been great for DK.

 

[tev.sm]

Irony is that Lebron was watching our Elite 8 game against Purdue to see Knecht play. I think he’ll learn quite a bit from some vets and gain respect easily.

 

[omghulkhands]

People losing their minds over Stephen A being a DK fan lol

23 is the new 60

 

[lvocd]

I believe Lebron James will be a champion for Dalton Knecht because he will greatly appreciate Dalton's incredible work ethic and his no-nonsense, workman approach to the game. I really do believe this could be the best spot DK could have landed.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Look at how happy Reddick and the Lakers execs were…..I knew they got DK when they showed that

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Knecht is a real one for shouting out the baseball team. Seems like a good situation for him. Of course it sucks he missed out on some money sliding so far.

In absolutely zero world did they ever dream DK would fall to them. They got gifted a Top 5 pick at 17 because "he's 23." Ridiculous.

He will get it on his next contract.

Except he isn’t. Moments before Stephen A was drooling over the pick to LA, he was trashing DK for being a terrible defender and too old. Stephen A sucks.

Pretty much. Such a shame. Never thought getting only 10-14 years of a player’s career would be such a terrible return on investment.
