My prediction for the top-5 guys in the '24 class were Sheppard, Castle, Ware, Cody and Knecht. I'm not completely sold in Buzelis yet, but he's up there, as is Jared McCain in Philadelphia. Another guy is Jaylen Wells from the 2nd round, but I never actually watched him. Filipowski deserves an honorable mention, at the least.
I have no idea what happened to Knecht. He seems to have lost his confidence and aggressiveness. He got a bad start in LA, then got sent back to LA in that rescinded trade with Charlotte. He could probably use a change of scenery at this point.
