ESPN SC | "He's the STEAL OF THE DRAFT!" - Tim Legler backs Lakers to keep Knecht in starting lineup

[@DrewS777]

First pure knock down shooter on Lakers in decades

[@sbreit1759]

I noticed the same thing at the presser from JJ. Giving a shout out to DLo after him being in the doghouse is great leadership.

9 threes in a game as a rookie. 9-12 from three that's 75% from 3

[@lordbeerus4443]

knecht sucked in high school and didn't make the cut. I seen him play at Northerneast college. It was like watching Son Goku get better with each battle(game). I know race is irrelevant, but as an African American I knew he needed a lifetime pass to the barbeque. I know this kid's lowest ceiling for his career is Robert Horry. But I think he'll fall somewhere between Steph and JJ in NBA history. When you've watched a kid do the same thing for 7 straight years... It's not a fluke. He just plays his game, regardless if it was Jordan or Wilt defending him. Think about it... Purdue had to put Zach Edey on him with double team help to defeat Tennesse. And he still was SEC player of the year... He only played one season in Tennessee. Lol, Facts. Aye man. He's Kyle Korver not scared of the moment. What does in the regular season, will be the same in the playoffs. He's accepted that he's HIM.

Love it man. Thank you for sharing

[@killertofu]

Black ppl be the type to think ppl need their approval of "being invited to the bbq" 💀💀

[@zj8478]

Stupid comment lol As an African American?? 😂 Speak normally

[@benana87]

Damn dude.u made me a believer

[@lordbeerus4443]

@killertofu yes you need an invite. Don't pop up unannounced or get pronounced 💀. Ijk.

[@BWalden-v6o]

Go DALTON. GO VOLS

[@johnnyguitarwatson5288]

As American players, dalton knecht is a example we need to return to, young players staying in school and fully developing their FUNDAMENTALS AND SKILLS! THEN WE'LL START CREATING MORE AMERICAN BORN ELITE NBA PLAYERS INSTEAD OF FOREIGN BORN NBA ELITE LEVEL PLAYERS 🤨

[@ashokadew2091]

PG AR, SG DK, SF RH, PF LeBron, C AD

[@ike_SYO1592]

Beautiful.

[@edisjd]

You can't start Kneckt, bad idea, you need more defense, he can come in off the bench, if he's hit he stays if he's cold he sits back down. Cam is vital

[@Str8Rippin93]

Yeah hachi should start when back

[@-C.S.R]

Westside Knecht!

[@sirisaacmormont5445]

In past seasons the lakers would routinely struggle with these bottom feeders. It’s good to see them competent and handling business

[@Fotosynthesis858]

All he needs to do now is work on his defense

[@HoldenBroussard]

Schedule don't just matter for the lakers everybody benefits from that in their schedule they started the season with the hardest schedule in the league and beat 3 or 4 playoff teams everybody has easy parts to their schedule

[@StoneGone]

They were the only team to begin the season with three straight home games. 😂

[@anthonygoh9658]

16th Pick McCain = Devin Booker 17th Pick Knecht = Carmelo Anthony

[@1NE4OE_BOY]

Terrible comparison 😂

[@anthonygoh9658]

@1NE4OE_BOY maybe the rookies can achieve higher than them??🤣
