@NubisKubis-gc9if wont matter DK4 is putting up numbers on a lebron lead lakers team that says more than the kid at the 76ers even tho he will be nice as well
@@NubisKubis-gc9if Knecht is putting up numbers on a team with Hall of Famers who are producing, which imo is way more impressive than what McCain is doing. That's not to take away anything he's doing over there in Philly tho.
The turnaround of this team from last year is incredible and I'm so happy to have a Lakers team I WANT to watch this year. I definitely was not expecting it.
@@useyourname210 that was my understanding, too, at least as far as Dalton's team was concerned. This isn't any shade on Dalton's agent, because it's common for agents to do that as a way of preserving their player's value.
@@nscsense6753That’s actually a very intriguing question there sir. I’m all in with our group this year so with that being said I think we start with reddish and I don’t think we can move him considering he’s our best perimeter defender by far. While also continuing not to be a liability on the offensive end so I say stick with cam. Reaves has been quite consistent this year offensively so I think he stays. While Rui gives us size and some more rebounding I truly think with Lebron at the four we’re better offensively. In that scenario you would certainly have to remain with current five. Rui is tough and can get going in a hurry but Dalton (when he’s got it going) could easily go for 50 if he gets enough looks so his offensive prowess should outweigh Rui’s rebounding capabilities and downhill success..but hey that’s just my opinion. Would do you think dude?
If Knecht were a bit more harsh in dogging others, he'd be a lot like Larry Bird. They both effect the game in a way that helps their team mates, while always seeking their shot. I love that. We needed a guy like that because our other young players are sometimes too passive.
I think hes unique. Hes not klay or larry bird. Hes not KCP. Hes just Knecht. He can shoot and is sneaky athletic. Really confident player but quiet as of now 😮
@@weho_brian It makes perfect sense to someone who isn't a troglodyte. His jersey number is 4, he "connects" on his 3-pointers and "connect 4" is a game that has been on the market for FIFTY YEARS now. Apparently you've never heard of it.
Good comments by Perkins. I criticize him enough, so kudos to him when he's right about something. Knecht is certainly more than a shooter...that will become more and more apparent.
""It's like chocolate and peanut butter going together." I love it when Windy really shows his character in these segments. He been making a lot of food analogies lately, I love it. 🤣🤣
He is the one person I've seen, who I think could actually reach Steph's record. He'll probably break the 3-point game record this year. Scary potential
Knecht top2 in lane agility and shuttle run at 2024 NBA combine and 39 inch vertical. Those facts with beautiful stroke at 6’7” or so in shoes (6’5.25” barefoot) and top2 college player in 23-24 makes it so weird he dropped to 17 in a bad draft! Especially when projected to go 5-8. I get he’s 23, but insane he fell to 17 in bad draft!
That man told no lies. Every Bron hater always tries to point out how many all star teammates Lebron has had but completely leave out the fact that 90% of those players never made an all star team, All NBA, or All Defensive team while playing with LeBron, either because they were too young and inexperienced at the time or too old and washed up. However, SEVERAL of Jordan’s teammates were good enough to make All Star, All NBA, or All defensive teams WHILE in their prime playing with Jordan which is even harder than just making a simple all star team.
Wow, it would be nice if talking heads admitted when they were previously wrong, since each one of these people were shading the Lakers earlier this year after the draft and said the Lakers needed trades.
And Rui. There's no need for Rui anymore. All of his minutes need to go to Knechte. If you throw in Rui to sweeten the pot, I bet they can manage to get Jerami Grant without giving any good picks@@MagicMike-n6u
stop this nonsense..even a broken clock is right twice. its been years of this front office not making moves when we have needed them. even with dalton being as good as he is, we have a clear weakness at our wing position, we have 0 2 way players. contracts like dlo and rui are extremely expendable as they dont fit the team well. we still need a solid trade to get more shooting. finally people see what a shooter like dalton can do on a team with lebron and ad, we need more of that. 4 years of us being bottom in shooting has been a key reason we have been so bad.
3:13 yea but lebron didn't praise the front office he just said they weren't dumb enough to pass up on him like everyone else, they didn't do anything special
It's early, but Klay was known for his defense also. But Dalton can put it on the floor and just seems more complete offensively. He still has to perform on the biggest stage like Klay has as well.
DK a sniper. But also ever since DLo to the beech AR is playing like an All-Star and LBJ is on the verge of leading the NBA in assists…once AGAIN. Should’ve never taken him off PG after ‘20.
The brother plays with confidence of a dawg, I saw flashes of greatness at Tennessee!!! If he can continue to play this the lakers could be seriously dangerous!
Hold up! Did Malika just say Kobe scored 22 straight points twice 2:24 - “once in March of 2003 in his final game and then against Michael Jordan in 2006, which was against the Raptors, that was when Kobe had 81”? That info is all shades of wrong! Reading from a teleprompter that has the wrong information can be bad for your health.😂
Say it again Perk- they should ban zone defense in the NBA! It has no place in the NBA. Players should have to guard their opponents individually! This is professional basketball.
I was thinking the kid would be like Keith Van Horn, Hedu Turkolu maybe Rashad Lewis kinda player but maybe he's closer to Korver. Idk surprised so far. I didn't know he was at this level of shooting.
He's much more than just a shooter. But he's smart enough to know how to adjust. With reaves, dlo, and bron all handling the ball, all he needs to do is get himself open and this man is definitely good at it. Doing backdoor cuts, running thru screens. But if push comes to shove, the guy can def get his own.
This lakers team is going to have a big test this Saturday vs the nuggets. We will see if they're the real deal or not. Hopefully everyone from the both teams play.
Dalton is very much more than a shooter. I think him falling to the Lakers has alot to do with his success!! AD, AR , Rui, Now Dalton. The Lakers are playing with house money going into the trade deadline. Rob Palinka could wait on the buyout market again.
This is exactly what happened to the St Louis Cardinals baseball team big at Albert Pujols after teams passed him up and you know the rest of the story💯

Being a sharpshooter himself, JJ definitely knows how to use a guy like DK effectively.
DK is a rookie, a ROOKIE, playing like this - this dude hasn't even reached his full potential, that is scary, glad he's on our team. :D
He’s confident in himself because the team is confident in him. Imagine how great he felt seeing Lebron cheering him on from the sidelines.

@@TheBeasty233 And he loves to dunk on people.

Dalton was definately a top 5 pick. The NBA executives screwed up
Just getting started, Mr. Dalton
If the Lakers get Vando back and add a big, lakers going to be dangerous
They are already borderline dangerous , but might need more in Conference finals/ nba finals
Also if they could somehow upgrade form Dlo. Not going to happen but imagine this same Lakers with Lavine and a decent big.
It may be way too early but the Lakers potentially have mvp, coach of the year, roty.
Gotta do more than make the play in and go on an easy win streak. Look at who theyve played
KNECHT 4!!!! wit a nickname like that he was born to hoop!!!💯 glad he is ready for the showtime lakers!!!
