Tennessee Vols guard Dalton Knecht has seen his NBA draft stock steadily rise over the last couple of months. 

Knecht, who stands 6-foot-5, was widely viewed as a mid round selection in mock drafts during the 2023-24 season, but as the NBA draft draws closer, we're starting to see the Colorado native go a bit higher in mock drafts. 

The latest NBA mock draft from On3, in fact, has Knecht landing in the top 10 of next week's draft. 

On3 has the Utah Jazz selecting Knecht with the No. 10 overall selection in the 2024 NBA Draft. 

Knecht, who transferred from Northern Colorado to Tennessee for his final season of eligibility, was a revelation for the Vols last season, averaging 21.7 points per game while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc. 

As a result of his stellar season with the Volunteers, Knecht won SEC Player of the Year honors for the 2023-24 season. 

The last Tennessee players to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft were Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer in 2021. 

The 2024 NBA Draft gets underway on June 26 and will wrap up on June 27.
