Tennessee guard Dalton Knecht has been one of the best players in college basketball since the start of the season, and SEC play has only given him a chance to further his sterling reputation. The leading candidate for SEC Player of the Year averages 20.6 points per game on a 48% shooting split. He's attempting nearly six threes per game and hitting at a 40.2% clip.

He's scored 25+ points nine times this season and is the best pure scorer in college basketball. Knecht is starting to see his name pop up in the lottery of 2024 NBA Mock Drafts, a crazy leap for the former Northern Colorado State star. He will take another monumental step on his journey tonight.

Knecht will appear on SportsCenter Tonight, a legendary program hosted by Scott Van Pelt. Van Pelt spends the evening breaking down the biggest storylines in sports from the day, week, and month, bringing on important guests that represent the landscape of major American athletics. Knecht might be the biggest sole draw in college basketball, earning him a sit-down on one of the top programs in sports media. Knecht will join the program starting at 11:00 PM EST.
