 Lakers' Rookie Dalton Knecht Explodes for 37 Points, Matches NBA Rookie Record with Nine 3-Pointers

Lakers' Rookie Dalton Knecht Explodes for 37 Points, Matches NBA Rookie Record with Nine 3-Pointers

Knecht played well against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday posting a personal best of thirty seven points and twenty one in the third quarter. In their stimulating 124-118 win, he showed nine 3-pointers, which is already the record of all rookie Laker.

 

Because of his performance, Knecht is likely to be win the Rookie of the Year title. Lastly, LeBron James had some fun at the expense of the 14 teams who snubbed Knecht , who was selected at No.17 and also gave a nod to the Lakers for their brilliance in the draft.

 

“They didn’t find DK. The other 16 teams fucked it up. Did anybody watch him? What the fuck? Shit. They just didn’t fuck it up.” LeBron James on the Lakers drafting Dalton Knecht at No. 17.

 

Some of the spectacular clubs that failed to secure the services of Dalton Knecht include; the Hawks, Wizards, Spurs, the 76ers and so on; two of which San Antonio and Portland not only quit on him once, but twice as well. Mockingly, LeBron James pointed out how it was a good thing the Lakers had the chance to take Knecht at the no. 17 pick.

 

It's easy to say the Lakers struck big with this decision. LeBron, buoyed by another NBA Cup victory, doubled down on his foresight, recalling his early support for Knecht during his Tennessee days—a moment he proudly acknowledged wasn't "LeCap."

 

“I don’t know. The same shit I said last year. Everybody on the internet calls me a liar all the time. They say I lie about every-fucking-thing. So what am I now? I’ve been said it.” LeBron on noticing Dalton Knecht’s potential during his time at Tennessee last season.

 

However, liberally utilising elements of deception to manipulate the game’s progression, players quickly become aware of this when the events are on their side. LeBron has every reason to boast in this particular case. In the college basketball season he said he saw the follow-up for Tennessee vs Purdue and he liked to see Zach Edey and Dalton Knecht.

 

The Lakers had ranked Knecht high as a potential lottery but they too were shocked when he tumbled all the way down to the 17th pick. It very much simplified the decision-making process since he was suddenly free to do as they wanted.

 

When looking at the Draft night, analysts applauded Lakers for choosing Dalton Knecht and it turns out it was even wiser with every game played. That is exactly what the 14 teams who rejected him, plus the New Orleans Pelicans who relinquished their option of taking him at the 17th position made the option possible.

 

If the Lakers remain consistent with its playing, most likely the 2025 first-round pick that the team traded was Anthony Davis to the Pelicans, will be a late pick, which completes a sequence of a series of trades that enabled the Lakers to move forward.
