Knapp may be one of the best shooters in the state in the 2026 class, and it’s a class filled with snipers from deep. He has a really quick release off the catch and unlimited range, knocking down shots from well beyond the high school line routinely. When he’s playing with the ball in his hands, he does a great job getting the ball into his shooting pocket off the dribble. He’s also a skilled playmaker with great vision and passing instincts. He had a really nice all-around showing on Saturday.
Knapp was one of the best shooters in the gym on Sunday night. A 5-11 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, he has an incredibly high-arcing shot, but it is silky smooth and he has unlimited range. He showed the ability to shoot it off the dribble or the catch, and he does a nice job using his shooting to open up the rest of his game, getting into the teeth of the defense by attacking against hard closeouts. He handles it well and is a good passer who sees the floor really well. He has quick feet and good hands on the defensive end, picking ball-handlers clean on a few different occasions.
