One of the most satisfying parts of watching these two compete at this level is knowing that they developed greatly over the course of their college basketball career. They've worked their way up with several years of extremely hard work. They're not just the hype of "athletic potential", they're polished professional-ready basketball players that should be instant and solid contributors in the NBA for many years to come.

Dalton Knecht will be an All Star player one day in the NBA

Because he is 23 yrs old and teams wants 18 -19 yr olds to develop and teams has already established players with his same position and also the front runner teams in the draft wants bigs and power forwards and point guards

Agreed. Edey is not the best. He’s just big. If you’re 7’4” and 300 lbs, all you have to be is a mediocre athlete to shine. Knecht is the total package.

Never more so than in women's college basketball where the bigs just stand there and get put backs and rebounds. That's what makes Caitlyn Clark so great. She is all over the freaking court!
