Cool, as I hadn’t factored the age part into the equation. I guess truthfully, at the time that I was a little disappointed as one or two mocks had Knecht coming our direction. Hopefully it works out as well as the John Stockton draft surprise!
Cody is passing well and defending well. He needs to build strength, tighten his handle and rep out his shot. He might be better off working out and playing in the G-league for a while. The fact that he doesn't really elevate on his jumper is a bit unusual. That might need some work.
Nah, he should be playing in the NBA.

This. I think the biggest thing for him this season is adjusting to the speed of the game and figuring what he can and can’t do against NBA talent. He’s not going to figure that out in the G league.
Noticed on some drives in the Mavs game he looked good, but he goes too slow and when he goes at the speed necessary, he struggles to finish. Kind of the same issue as Keyonte when attacking the rim. Has to get more comfortable going full speed and taking contact.
He definitely looks slow out there. I can't tell if it's slow mental processing, poor athleticism, or that he just looks slower than he is because he's built like gumby. He should get more comfortable as time goes on. I think his touch around his basket + length combo will make him a good finisher.
He's actually got a good first step. I just think he lacks confidence driving into traffic. He's had a few of his shots sent back.
