Overview

• Knecht scored 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting (0-for-6 from three) in his Summer League debut and followed with four points, 2-of-7 shooting and four turnovers in the next game.
• Coach JJ Redick’s reservations about his defensive consistency have limited Knecht’s high-leverage minutes this summer.
• Since the season ended in May, Knecht has maintained a rigorous three-a-day workout regimen to sharpen his shooting and overall game.
• As a 2024 first-round pick, he averaged 9.1 points per game and shot 37.6% from three across 78 games in his rookie season.
• Front office evaluations are ongoing to determine whether he secures a larger role next year or becomes a trade asset in pursuit of veteran talent.
