Dalton Knecht is gonna win Rookie of the Year, and it never should have happened.

Posted by David (aka David) Nov 20 '24, 07:39

You know the NBA is fucked up when a shooter like this is still available at #17 in a terrible draft.

Responses:

Out of curiosity I checked. The last NBA ROY who was not drafted in the Top 4 picks was Malcolm Brogdan (pick #36) in 2016-2017 season. -- nm - Dano Nov 20, 08:42
Well…Jared McCain is on that path—absolutely unreal stats—similarly, he was #16 in the draft. -- nm - Trending Nov 20, 07:55 4

  - "Last 5 games Jared McCain- Pick #16 PPG: 26.6 FG%: 50.5% 3P%: 44% Dalton Knecht- Pick #17 PPG: 20.4 FG%: 66.1% 3P%: 66.7% " -- nm - David Nov 20, 08:00 2
    - Sure—cherry picking—not saying Knecht isn’t good—having a good stretch—but McCain is ahead of him, as his season stats are better 🤷‍♂️ - Trending Nov 20, 08:16 1
      - Read it again. They've both been on fire this week. - David Nov 20, 08:28
His fall was stupid. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 07:50 8
- The problem with the NBA Draft is that a lot of teams picking early don't actually want to win. -- nm - David Nov 20, 07:51 7
  - At least they don't want to win right now -- nm - JD Nov 20, 07:53 6
    - "In the second half, it seemed like everybody in the gym knew that Dalton Knecht was going to shoot the next shot, with the exception of a few people" - David Nov 20, 07:59 5
      - That's just poor coaching! Wait, the coach said it. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 20, 08:13
      - “They didn’t ‘find’ DK,” James said of the Lakers’ scouting department. “The other 16 teams f—ed it up. Did anybody watch him? - JD Nov 20, 08:04 3
        
        I find LeBron's joy over this nourishing. There was a play yesterday on Knecht's ninth three where LeBron knew what was going to happen. - David Nov 20, 08:10 2
        
        It's kind of a perfect timing of draft choice skills and new coach knowing exactly what's possible with those skills -- nm - JD Nov 20, 08:35 1
        
        Plus teams are stupid. "He's too old -- he's peaked." The greatest SG ever played 3 seasons of college. The greatest PF ever played all 4. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 08:42
Oh, and Baron, it could have been 10+. He had 37 with 11 minutes left in the 4th. They called off the dogs. -- nm - David Nov 20, 07:47 1
- They wanted to leave that possibility open for sweeps week -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 20, 07:53
Watch the Lakers package him in a trade for Trey. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 07:41 1
- We've got our Small Forward for the next decade. -- nm - David Nov 20, 07:46
Everyone got hung up on his age and not his ability to score points and win games. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 20, 07:40
