The NBA preseason continues, and today the Lakers traveled to take on the Suns, who eventually won 128-122. The two sides played to extra time. In this game, Davis scored 35 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and Knecht also scored 35 points off the bench. He was 8-of-13 from beyond the three-point line.

Although Davis played very well in today's game, there is no doubt that this game belongs to Knecht. Today, Kneckett scored 20 straight points in the fourth quarter, including overtime, to help the Lakers win the game. In the final minute of the fourth quarter, he hit a game-tying three-pointer. His eight three-pointers really made a lot of Lakers fans very excited, because that's exactly what the Lakers need right now.

Kneckett was the 17th pick in the first round of the Lakers this year, and it stands to reason that many teams don't have much hope for this pick. But judging by Kneckt's performance in the preseason, he is a very stable and mature player, and has excellent shooting ability from beyond the three-point line, as well as some offensive ability with the ball, and is a very versatile player. In pre-season, it was also evident that Redick was focusing on Knecht and giving him a lot of playing time. Including today, in the final moments, all the tactics were carried out around Knecht, and almost all the Lakers players would hand over the ball to Knecht after they got the ball, allowing him to complete the offense on his own.

I have to say that the Lakers really picked up Knecht in this pick. In the future, Kneckert has a good chance of developing into the type of player Thompson is. And according to Redick's way of employing people, Kneckett should be in the Lakers' rotation lineup in the new season, which means that such a rookie rookie is likely to be reused by Redick in the first year.

Redick put a lot of emphasis on the Lakers to shoot three-pointers this year, and the Lakers took a total of 46 shots from outside the three-point line today, so a player with distinctive characteristics like Kneckett, a player with very good three-point points, has obvious use in the new season. After watching Knecht play, many fans even think that his ceiling is higher than Reeves'. Because his physical fitness, including height, is stronger than Reeves. And the maturity of the game has already been reflected. Even many fans think that the Lakers may build around him in the future, and in him we really see the shadow of Thompson when he first entered the league. He's definitely a malleable talent and a player to develop.
