I can't think of many I've ever seen in the SEC who are so talented at scoring from whatever position he finds himself in.

He doesn't need a spot, doesn't have a specific move he has to get in -- he just has to get close enough and then he'll figure it out. Always knows when to attack.

Reminds me of how I felt watching Bird (not that I'm comparing them straight up); the best I feel we've ever seen at just making it up as he went and being so good that it'd go in. Sometimes I feel that way watching Knecht. Even his garbage shots are gold.

Larry Bird. Very good comparison. He's going to ball in the NBA

Even in a bad stretch he scores a lot of points. Early in the game I was thinking what an awful game DK was having. Then look at the box score and he’d already scored 10 points.

Wasn’t paying attention when I booked a two week trip to Chile in March/April that just so happens to be the dates of the NCAAT. With my luck, This will be the year we make it. Get extra rowdy for me.

It's JJJ that needs to improve on offense. He's so likeable you can't help but root for him

This. JJJ isn't contributing much at all right now. He had a good block tonight and that's pretty much it. He turned down an open dunk. It's like DK absorbed all his talent like Space Jam.

Love the way we took over the game when we had to--mark of a good team. Agree with the post above: We get into the tournament and some good teams are going to work to put the clamps on Knecht, and while it may be hard to do that, it is certainly possible that he could have games where points are not coming easily and we will need Vescovi and James to be ready to show up and score. And if you're used to standing around and watching Knecht do all the scoring, that might be hard to do. I worry about James more than Vescovi--as he's had recent games where he's very quiet, certainly including this one--0-2 tonight.

Knecht allows for some slow spells with this team.. Vescovi and James have to get going for this to be the team everyone wants them to be..

At this point, I'm just going to accept it's who and what they are. No expectations offensively. Both can disappear and both can pop for 20. Those two are the X factor come tournament time.

Just in the last two years Jabari Smith and Brandon Miller were just as talented scorers. The fact that we’re even mentioning DK with them is still insane.

I am just going to enjoy this season and every single win and try to savor every game. No JJJ, Vescovi, or DK next season. Getting to watch DK is special. I just want a Final 4 in the worst way. This team has what it needs. Veterans across the board and an NBA 1st rounder in DK. Could this finally be the year??? GBO!!

Vescovi played a solid game and was in double figures for the second straight game. At this point it's unfair to lump him with JJJ. Another gooose egg with 4 rebounds in 28 minutes for him. We made our run with him on the bench much like the Georgia game.
