I was really impressed with Knuth last season during her 16s year for Adversity where she was a really physical outside who could score a lot of points from the outside.  She was able to go with hard cross, sharp cross, down the line, and use the hands effectively.  As she continues to develop her backcourt game she will become an attacker who can score from anywhere.  This will be an exciting group to follow at the 17s age level where Adversity has plenty of high level 2026s still available. 

So much athleticism.  Knuth was really impressive for Adversity 16 Adidas this past weekend as a six rotation outside where she just makes plays.  She is the type of player who can make something out of nothing where she is not afraid to use the block to her advantage, throw in a roll shot, or blast away.  There is a huge upside to her game where when she continues to develop a back court attacking game she will be an even bigger point scorer.  She just kept finding a way to get it done at the Prep Dig Gauntlet.
