What about McCullar reminded you of Hart? Other than being a 6’5 athlete ? Hart is an elite rebounder, playmaker and one-man fast break. He also has the strength to guard up. McCullar doesn’t possess any of those traits. I’m out on McCullar because I liked him as a college player and none of the skills he had at Kansas translated. At least Knecht has real potential as a specialist. Having he and Nickel in the pipeline as shooters is a great thing. There is a path there for them. There was just no path for McCullar because he doesn’t do 1 thing really well at the nba level.

But welcome Knecht! Don't know a damn thing about him but best of luck to him!

The bar is now set, do not disappoint Knecht!

Change that to the state of California and you got it. He was a Warriors cast off.

Nickel's defense in SL was better than expected, so perhaps he will have an edge over Knecht

The third-year man can still impact the Knicks. He’s just 25 years old and is an above-average shooter with size. In his final year in college, he averaged 21.7PPG on 45.8% shooting from the field and 39.7% shooting from three. It’s not every day you can find that kind of shooting at his height on the waiver wire. But there are plenty of reasons why he saw his minutes dwindle and why he eventually was waived.

Despite being 6’6”, Knecht isn’t much of a defender. He can get lost defensively, and even if he manages to be in the right spots at the right times, he just does not possess the athleticism to be much of a factor on that end. Offensively, he’s shown flashes of being able to utilize his shot to get to other spots on the floor. When a part of the rotation, he was making nice reads off the ball and routinely had nice timely cuts to get easy looks at the rim. But at the end of the day, he’s still best utilized as a spot-up shooter and only a spot-up shooter. He can’t create for himself due to a lack of a reliable handle and certainly doesn’t create for others.
