Former Northern Colorado Guard Dalton Knecht Transfers to Tennessee

Former Northern Colorado guard Dalton Knecht is transferring to Tennessee, he announced on social media Friday.

The Athletic's instant analysis:

Knecht was a sneaky NBA prospect in hiding at Northern Colorado. A second-team All-Big Sky selection this season after starting his career with two junior college seasons, the 6-foot-6, 200-pound wing is a legitimate shooter from distance who also pairs it with genuine above-the-rim athleticism.

At the Big Sky level, he could finish from all three levels on his way to over 20 points and seven rebounds per game while shooting 48 percent from the field, 38 percent from 3 and 77 percent from the free-throw line.

That scoring number actually increased in conference play and resulted in him leading the league in points per game. Because of that shooting and well-rounded scoring package, his game looks tailor-made for success at higher levels of college basketball.
