Dalton Knecht lived up to the hype on Day 1 at the NBA Draft Combine Monday in Chicago. Knecht was one of four players listed as Monday’s Combine winners by On3 basketball analyst Jamie Shaw. Shaw also named Pittsburgh guard Bub Carrington, Purdue center Zach Edey and Providence guard Devin Carter as Monday’s standouts at Wintrust Arena. “On a day when a lot of the shooting guards measured small, Dalton Knecht came in at 6-foot-5.25 without shoes and 212 pounds,” Shaw wrote. “More than adequate size for an off-guard in the NBA. He also measured with a 6-foot-9 wing span (plus 3.75) and showcas...

The biggest name left on the board for Tennessee Basketball is Chaz Lanier, the North Florida transfer guard who is going through the NBA Draft process and competed in the G League Elite Camp over the weekend in Chicago. Still, though, there’s other work to be done. Whether or not the Vols land Lanier, they still find themselves in the second week of May with three open scholarship spots on the 2024-25 roster. Rick Barnes and his staff will likely carry one open roster spot into the summer. Which direction Tennessee goes with the other scholarship remains to be seen. “I always think there’s so...

Dalton Knecht spent one season at Tennessee, going from a relatively unknown wing at Northern Colorado to star for the Vols and possibly a soon-to-be lottery pick in this summer’s NBA Draft. Now replacing Knecht and his lost production — he averaged 21.7 points while shooting 45.8% from the field and 39.7% from the 3-point line in his 36 games at Tennessee — is the task for Rick Barnes and his coaching staff. What the Vols are selling with one of their three open roster spots is the opportunity for someone to be the next Knecht. “Obviously people talk about it,” Barnes said Wednesday at the Bi...
