Dude is an impressive athlete for a 5th year transfer senior

Knecht might be the #2 or #3 overall prospect in this draft. Having a Buzelis or Holland over him would be flagrant IMO.
Carlson is definitely worth a flyer as a bench big. He is soft but skilled and could definitely be a useful stretch big off the bench. He is also a pretty good vertical athlete so he can provide some rim deterrence.I watched the Utah-Washington State game last night. Are bigs Branden Carlson (Utah) or Isaac Jones (WSU) on anyone's bingo card for second round or UDFA? Both were all conference players last season and both are older
I havent seen enough skillset to say Hayward.In this draft Furphy should easily be a top 5 pick. Like him a lot. Doesn't have anything close to an NBA body yet, but he's really young.
Also reminds me a ton of a young Hayward. Similar skillset and motor.
Agreed about the Hayward skillset. He has been extremely effective of late but also has been assisted on most of his shots. Hopefully as the season goes on we get to see him to try expand his game and look to create more for himself off the dribble. Even if he doesn't show or have that aspect in his repertoire I still love his fit as movement guy that can hit clean looks. Maybe in the end he more of a Bojan type of guy which would be awesome.I havent seen enough skillset to say Hayward.
My first thought was Chase Budinger.
He kind of reminds me of Wally Szczerbiak when he was in college with his shot creation and sneaky athleticism. I think he is a more explosive athlete though. Every once in a while he does something where you say damn he got up.Sadly Knecht might end up being a top 5 guy if he keeps playing like this. Jaquez having such a great year will give him a boost as teams will be less skeptical about very talented upperclassmen.
I wonder what his wingspan will be. He does look pretty long. If he's 6'6 in shoes, I would say he has at least a 6'9 wingspan and anything north of that will be viewed very positively.He kind of reminds me of Wally Szczerbiak when he was in college with his shot creation and sneaky athleticism.
