Tell me how many 6'7'' kids have those kinds of moves and athletic ability especially in the mountains! Most kids especially in the montains that are used at the Center position have no athletic ability! Here he is going against smaller faster players and going right around them and dunking with really no speed built up, i would hate to think what his vertical has to be! And those are main qualities for D1 and then thats not even including the fact that he is leading the state in scoring! Oh yeah he will be a D1 players if he wants!

You do realize there's hundreds of 6'7 kids across the country doing that, right? Why do you think the college game has gone to bigger guards? I realize a kid like TK is rare in the mountains, but outside of the mountains that isn't rare at all. Elijah Pittman and Donovan Gibbs both come to mind without thinking about anyone else.

Again, look at the competition he's doing this again. Look at how he's fared agaisnt the better big men over the past two years (Pittman, Barnhill, Setty) and you'll understand why I say he has some work to do before he can play ATLEAST mid major ball. He can definetly play low D1 but his defense would have to improve tremendously to be considered higher than that. Pittman abused him last year in the state tournament to the tune of 23 pts and 12 rbs while holding Tk to I think 10 points. Barnhill has had big offensive outputs everytime they've went up against one another.

Offensively, TK is very good agaisnt the weak teams you're mentioning. But against the better teams he's gone up against the past few years with athletic big men, he's struggled to defend them. And the fact that TK takes around 25 shots per game has a lot to do with him leading the state in scoring.

You do realize that schools like EKU, Murry State, and Morehead are D-1 right?

If Dakotah Euton can go to Akron and play in the MAC, then im convinced that Timmy can play atleast in Confrence USA. Timmy has a lot of upside. Hes to big to get checked by a 2, but hes to athletic, and can play around the arc. So a 4 will have trouble keeping up.

I got to catch a game earlier this season, against Rowan co. In the first half the Vikings tried to guard Knipp with Darrell Cross(their RB in football, that runs a sub 4.5, 40 yard dash). Knipp scored 20+ in the first half. In the second they switched it up and tried to guard him with Adam Wing(their QB, who is a solid 6'4") Knipp finished the game with 39 points and around 15 rebounds. This game is a perfect example of how he will play D-1 basketball. He will create mis-matches for the next 6 years.

I said TK could play at the LOW D1 level...that's exactly what Murray, EKU, and Morehead are.

There's no comparison between Euton and T. Knipp. Euton is a much better outside shooter, stronger, better ball handler, and stronger in the paint. The only area that TK would get the nod is quickness and athleticism.. I do agree that Timmy has a lot of upside but you have to realize in college he won't be going against 6'1-6'4 kids. He'll be checked by a 6'6-6'7 kid with just as much quickness and athleticism. HE won't create as many mis-matches as you say. Playing weak teams like Rowan Co and playing against D1 caliber teams/players are two completely different levels. Look at how Tk fared against Pittman last year. Those are the types of players he'll see every night in college.

Please, name me all these 6'0''-6'1'' guards that are going through traffic and throwing down on a one step jump!

5'10 Blake Bryan- Villa Madonna
5'11 Thomas Jackson- J'town
6'0 Jaylen Beckham- Lexcath
6'1 Delquan Thomas- Eastern
6'1 Ian Chiles- Ballard
6'1 Devante Parker- Ballard
6'2 Aaron Nance- Seneca
6'1 Jaleel Gray- Holmes
6'1 Chris Hayes- Holmes

Heck, Holmes has a 5'9 guard (Jaydale Herndon) that rose up and threw one down this year. Do I need to continue? Dunking is nice, but it's not as rare as some of you EKY folks are making it sound.
