Dalton Knecht is making waves—and he hasn’t even played an NBA minute yet.
The former Tennessee Volunteers standout and projected first-round NBA draft pick is turning heads with a newly released offseason training video that has fans and analysts buzzing. The clip, which quickly went viral on social media, showcases Knecht’s explosive athleticism, sharp shooting, and relentless work ethic in a private gym workout session.
In the video, Knecht is seen draining deep three-pointers with ease, executing pro-level footwork, and throwing down high-flying dunks that highlight his NBA-ready physical tools. More than just raw talent, the footage reveals a player who’s clearly taking the pre-draft process seriously—refining every aspect of his game.
Fans were quick to respond with excitement, with some already comparing his shot mechanics to NBA sharpshooters and others pointing out his improved handle and decision-making. “He looks like a lottery pick,” one fan commented. “He’s coming into the league ready to contribute right away.”
Knecht, who averaged over 21 points per game during his senior year at Tennessee, has steadily climbed up draft boards in recent weeks. This offseason video may be the boost that cements him as a top-tier selection in the upcoming NBA Draft.
While the workouts are private, the message is public: Dalton Knecht is ready for the big stage. If this video is any indication, he’s not just preparing for the NBA—he’s preparing to make an impact from Day 1.
With momentum building and buzz growing, all eyes are now on draft night to see where this rising star will land.
