I'll be watching this guy maybe more than any other wing next season...out of sheer curiosity.

I hope he ends up in a system that's best for him and not in our division.

Best movement shooter: Dalton Knecht, SF, Tennessee

Watch on YouTube

Tennessee gave Knecht all the work he could handle as a scorer this season, and he proved quite dangerous working away from the ball, making 39.7% of his total shots off screens and 36.8% of 3s. He has developed a good understanding of how to set defenders up and can knock down jumpers cleanly on the move or off one dribble. Knecht has excellent directional footwork and never works in too much of a hurry, helping him save time and create space setting up his jumper. The key for Knecht, who is ranked No. 8 in ESPN's Top 100, isn't just consistency of release, but also knowing how to receive the ball, stay balanced and work quickly with defenders in pursuit.

There's also an argument here for Creighton's Baylor Scheierman, who has transformed himself into a dangerous off-ball scorer since transferring from South Dakota State. He hit 40.6% of 3s off screens, with a quick left-handed release that will make him dangerous out of the gate. -- Woo

Wow...really interested to see how this plays out.

Lakers needed help scoring and Knecht might be the best bucket getter in the draft.

Dalton is the real deal.
I like what I have been seeing from him so far.

It's crazy DK fell out of the lottery in a weak draft but ending up on the Lakers will seriously improve his profile.

Austin Reaves better step his game up...Dalton is coming for that SG spot.

23 years old is why many GM's passed on what appeared to be an obvious talent.

Oh, there's another reason GMs were reluctant to draft him in the lottery. One we all know, but no one wants to admit out loud.

And it's hogwash!

This kid has balled out for years - grinding at the lower levels of basketball and thriving at every stop.

He should have been drafted in the lottery.

I didn't watch any of that. Hope he wakes up and forgets how to shoot
