| He finished 1st in the shuttle run drill at the combine. Seems like a gym rate who has some impressive athletic ability. His knees might start giving out in 7 years, but for now, he should be good. |

That and a traffic cone on defense. |
Ahhhh yes, if he was a lock down defender. You think he would there at #17?
He probably be gone by #7.
Good one. |

NVM Knecht sucks.
He's too short and no defense.
I want a 6'11 250lbs stud that can play center and PF and go coast to coast for dunks as well as defend the 1 thru 5.
Damn Lakers failed again in the draft. |

He's not a traffic cone on defense. He's just not a great defensive player, but he's a workhorse with the athletic ability to improve on that end. |

Exactly. Good pick but he doesn't fill our needs. If we could somehow trade him for a center, then it'd be great...lol

Just watching highlights, this guy can finish with his left hand. Even saw a jump shot left handed I think, or push shot. Lol

Knecht is pronounced “connect”; 40% from 3’s

| Yeah this isn’t just an experienced college player with a high floor, I think people are underestimating his ceiling, he just grew into his body and is getting started…. |

Exactly, slow. He has a long stride but he is slow. They will have to run screens for him. He isn't blowing by anyone in the NBA to get to the hoop. |

JJ is so passionate I hope his enthusiasm will be contagious in the locker room. Looks like AR could be on the move, hopefully for a center.

Best complement I could give this pick is it's a little annoying they didn't make a small move up to say 15 to secure him. We didn't have much to give but could you imagine if we just missed him at 16? |
