He can play bigger than his size and it shows with his work on the glass. Knott is a player that takes pride in his defense.

He can run the floor and I really like the way that he fills a wing in transition. Pratl plays an intelligent game and has been well coached throughout his development. He has a nice jumper with range and has improved as a scorer around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
