Dalton Knecht commits to Vols

[hUTch2002]

I wondered the same thing so I looked, makes no sense lol, nobody else averaged over even 18ppg and Dalton was over 20lbs

I edited my post as I did the same thing. They had to value team results more than individual as the POY had the worst stats on the first team.

Positionally he was up against Steele Venters who is arguably better, more valuable to his team, and better known in that league. Outside of Venters, he’s the most valuable player in that league.

The WAC conference has some players

He’s not in the WAC…

If you look, the entire first team came from top 4 teams in the conference standings and the POY was the best player on the best team in conference play.

Gotcha, I wondered if maybe that was the case

I’m not sure people remember that ZZ tore his ACL. It’s quite possible that he will not be ready until SEC schedule. We will need a PG and backup most likely until January

Study says young athletes that return under 9 months after ACL, have a rate of re-injury at 7 times those that delay the return.

That’s not true. The entire first team is made up of forwards. Knecht is listed as a guard.

Knecht is on NBA team radars according to some of media guys. Doesn’t matter who was the best in that league. Everyone in the country wanted Knecht, glad he is here.

I have cut and paste too. I also watched them both play and play each other. Two very different teams. Knecht was the scoring option. Venters was on a very different team. Gonzaga didn’t chase Venters for no reason.

I think Knecht is a better NBA option, which has nothing to do with an MVP vote. I’ve compared him to Kyle Guy when our toads were calling him Justin Powell. I couldn’t be more excited about him.

I’ve seen Zach Lavine comparisons a few times, kind of like it

J.J. Reddick maybe a knock down shooter who can drive to basket. I know people didn't like Reddick but he was a physical player

And that’s fair. The league took players from top 4 teams for the 1st team and the POY was the best player in the best team. Had N Colorado been .500 instead of 12-20 then maybe he makes it. It doesn’t matter ultimately of course. We got him and we’re all excited. It just looked funny at a glance but I see what they did now.

If offensive stats relative to other conference players were the only qualifiers for all-conference selections, Vescovi probably would not have made first team All-SEC the last two seasons.

Got a lot of Kevin Huerter from his clips.

 

[Special Ed]

With the stout players we've got coming back and these talented newcomers being added to the roster, the pundits will surely put us outside the pre-season Top 25. Because our name is Tennessee.

Don't know if either can play at this level. Don't know that either will be an upgrade to JJJ and ON, but they bring something different. They bring a hope for healthy players. They bring hope that they'll be more consistent players. They bring change and something fresh. Shiny new toys I guess, but they bring a sense of excitement and anticipation to my outlook. Glad we made changes and have some degree of freshness about the roster.

Powell averaged 4.3 PPG and 3.3 TO/G on 4/21 shooting in his 3 games against at P6 teams in his brief stint at Auburn.

Powell did fine at WSU this year. He’s not a PG which he was forced to play at AU.

 

[joevols89]

I keep seeing posts about PG that don’t mention Edwards…are we that certain he’s not going to contribute? I know he didn’t do much last year but why does everyone seem so sure that he will never contribute?

2 guard

I saw a study that says if they wait more than 8 months but less than 9 it’s 8 times!

I didn’t quote or reply to you arguing your post, I was just sharing the stats of both players? However fwiw, in their 2 games this year Knecht had 45p 14r 4a 2s & Venters had 29p 9r 4a 1s

Really? I thought he was a true PG
