Anyone Else Interested in Dalton Knecht?

Knecht not athletic? Are you serious?
Knecht is explosive as a leaper. Not elite straight line but solid. Also has a reported 6’10 wingspan.
Does it translate to being a good defender? That remains to be seen.
But he is anything but unathletic, far better athlete than Herro.

If you’re strictly talking laterally, then I would agree with you.

 

If he is athletic why is he a bad defender? This dude 2 yrs older than Jabari rn lol. Basically what you see is what you get from him.

I guess we will see a lot more in the combine if he is really 6'6 barefoot with a 6'10 wingspan he would Iook a lot better imo.

 

Bro Knecht is wasted in that lineup just think how many mins the 3rd guy in the rotation gets. I don't think Knecht solves any problems in the 5 mins he gets every other game.

That's partly why I don't like getting Knecht Rox may be better off getting a rawer prospect like Tipjane Salaun who can develop in GLeague.

 

Lot of athletic dudes are bad defenders.
Just saying the tools are there.
He is a weird case, his route to being what he is, is wild. He probably has a little more upside but not much. His floor is projectable in the league though.

 

Athletic dudes who are bad defenders tend to be busts with low bball IQ so I don't think that's a good sign. How much better do you think he is over Corey Kispert and Cam Johnson? Cuz those 2 guys won't get any PT on our team next year IMO, not with Tari Eason coming back and 1 yr of offseason training with Cam and Amen.

 

I don’t necessarily want Knecht, just pointing out he’s a good athlete that can shoot with length. On paper that’s a good thing.
I’m not sure what position I would look at in the draft yet

 

Guy can shoot so hells yea the Rockets need him.

 

I just want him just to call him The Connector when he does a one touch pass around the perimeter

 

Screams "Heat Culture 2nd Round Exit" to me.

 

Knecht means hard working Peon in German, so there is some truth to Heat Culture.
