PREDRAFT MEASUREMENTS
Danish prospect still resides in his homeland despite being tempted by many teams and playing multiple tournaments with Real Madrid youth program. This season he got a lot of recognition during Kaunas AdidasNGT where half jokingly half seriously, some scouts were saying that he looks like Mindaugas Kuzminskas little brother. Knudsen possess good feel for the game for someone coming from non basketball country. He is fluid and plays with the ball very well for a wing his size. There are visible habits of player who scores at will on low level which is good and bad (impressive confidence but also much better stroke off the dribble than after catch because of being used to handling it for long stretches) but at least he is unselfish player in opposite to others coming from such environment. Besides intriguing athlete with defensive potential and frame which should fill out nicely in time. There is no doubt he should make a jump to some European powerhouse and looks every bit of the best Danish prospect since Rasmus Larsen.
