I don't think the Chaz and Knecht comparison is fair to either player...totally different players imo. Chaz was unrated coming out of HS, but has been a 6'4" CG his entire career. His senior year he averaged 23 ppg and shot over 45% from deep. Was named a finalist for TN Division II-AA Mr. Basketball honors with Kennedy Chandler and BJ Edwards even. Helped take his HS team to state quarterfinals 2 years in a row.
But much like DK he had a different path to get to this level. 4 years at North Florida and for 3 years there he played 31 or more games and clocked 20mpg or more put in work to grow his game and now we're seeing it showcased. But that lethal quick release 3 was always in his arsenal.
DK on the other hand was 5'8" as a sophomore, 6'1" as a junior and 6'3" coming out of HS he continued to grow until he reached his current height of 6'6" and with all those changes likely just recently really got filled out and comfortable playing at his size. Like Chaz though dude is a hard worker and gym rat. I think athletically speaking Chaz is better, but DK has put in a lot of work to improve in that area.
I also think Chaz was able to adapt to Barnes defense quicker because at North Florida for the first few seasons that seemed to be one reason he was getting minutes. Cause he didn't really get the volume to put up big offensive numbers there until last season.
Happy to have both, and hope Chaz finishes just as strong in SEC play as DK did. Will make us a destination spot for talented portal players next year.
