With the 17th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Tennessee Volunteers guard Dalton Knecht.
Knecht had a lengthy college career that started at Northeastern Junior College, continued at Northern Colorado and ended with Tennessee for the 2023-24 season. The transfers paid off for Knecht, who was named the 2023-24 SEC Player of the Year. Knecht was also named a first-team All-American. He finished his college career with a bang, with a 37-point performance in the Vols' loss vs. Purdue in the Elite Eight.
Here's what to know about Knecht:
Strong on catch-and-shoot 3s, can drive to the basket with power and finesse, and is athletic. Will need work defensively, and yes, he’s 23, but that shouldn’t be a detractor. He delivered great offensive performances late in the season, scoring 40 against Kentucky and 37 against Purdue in the Elite Eight. — Jeff Zillgitt
During the 2023-24 season with the Volunteers, Knecht averaged 21.7 points per game (45.8% from the field), 4.9 rebounds per game. He shot 39.7% from beyond the arc.
The 23-year-old Knecht is 6-foot-5, 212 pounds.
