The Colorado native averages a team-high 17.5 points with 4.7 rebounds per game. On Nov. 21, Knecht had 16 points and seven boards.
The model also knows North Carolina senior forward Armando Bacot is a double-double machine in the frontcourt. Bacot thrives in the low post and on the glass due to his physicality.
