"One of the earliest indicators of whether a rookie can hang at the next level is how they handle adversity. First-time NBA players typically have a rough go of things in their inaugural season."
"Knecht has averaged 20 points in his last three games on 63.9/63.2/100 shooting splits. Perhaps even more impressive than his video-game-like numbers is how timely and necessary they've been to the Lakers' recent surge."
"He was not fazed at his reliable shot rimming out, nor did he blink an eye at getting isolated against a switch or his fluctuating minutes. Instead, the 23-year-old kept his head down and follow-through steady."
"'He's getting comfortable,' JJ Redick said following the team's win over the Pelicans. 'But I would also say when you are an offensive player... getting more extended runs and getting more minutes.'"
