Knect's 1 definable trait is his scoring. I don't see an NBA team turning over their offense to a 23 year old rookie with average athleticism.
So then I turn to his ancillary traits. No real playmaking. Doesn't offer much by way of blocks or steals. Probably only projects as a league average shooter from three.
Trying to envision his role at the NBA level and having trouble. I'm thinking a Christian Braun type.
I don't know about "turning your offense over to him", but there's a place in the league for an athletic 6'6" 3-level scorer. Watching him game in and game out, his growth as a more rounded player has been pretty amazing. He likely will never be a '#1 option' type of player in the NBA, but he'll be a valuable asset as part of a rotation on a good team.
