    His dad was runner up to Kobe in the dunk contest. Rob couldn't pass on him with that back story.

    I'm hoping JJ can CC what I see. This is a great pick. Coming in full of confidence and ready to contribute. We will get the bigs somewhere else, too good an opportunity to pass up.

    His Pop was runner up to Kobe in the Dunk Contest.
    I will always love a Kob connection.

    :Laugh:We don’t need to draft a big since we are trading for Ware and Kessler and signing Robinson and Timelord!

    Another "steal of the draft"... just like for the past 152 years. After the Knecht "development" im all for trading the picks.

    Don’t worry guys. I saw a live shot of our “braintrust” and Rambis was at the table.
    He nailed this one!

    It’s hard for me to get excited about any rookie right now when just like always, he won’t play and we need to try to win now. That said, he seems to have the physical tools, can shoot, and if he can defend at all that would help. Being able to do this kind of thing at 6’5 is nice

    I read that he averaged those stats in his “lone season at Baylor” and assumed he was a one and done, didn’t realize he played at Tennessee before that for 2 years and was teammates with Knecht. So he’s a 3 year college player, he may actually be able to contribute sooner, that does change things a bit in my mind.

    Being picked 24th was a monumental drop from where he was mocked.

    Cranjis seems not to like this pick. I have seen quite a few very optimistic replies also though. Waiting what the LFR guys have to say about it.

    I'm getting Knecht flashbacks.. "Steal of the draft", drafting a top10 prospect in mid-late 1st round. Guard that can dunk and jump. Questions about BBIQ...

    Hope he comes good but I'm really disappointed we couldn't find a trade for this pick.

    Memphis and Knicks also traded down a couple times so pretty much any team could have got him and none did it.

    I'm with you in being disappointed we didn't trade the pick. But when I saw the Giannis and Claxton trades go through and we didn't get involved, I figured it would be really difficult to trade for anything today.

    I honestly think Rob made a play for Ware and Bucks decided not to deal him.

    Athletically, this kid is top tier and he can shoot. Knecht was a good athlete in the way Danny Green was. Carr is a good athlete in the way DJJ is, it's a different level. You can't ask for much more than that. We just have to develop him on the defensive end and you got something. Probably just not for 2 years though.
