"Around the time Pitt's Bub Carrington - a player the Lakers had coveted, sources told ESPN - went No. 14 to the Portland Trail Blazers, Knecht started to look like a real possibility."
"The news that the Lakers would have taken Carrington is new information, but it comes as no surprise. Multiple mock drafts labeled Carrington as a player the Lakers could take in the first round."
"Luckily for L.A., they went with Knecht, which seems to have been the right choice. The Lakers rookie is even better than advertised and is now starting for Los Angeles and shining in that role."
"With teams becoming quieter about what they are looking for in the draft and which players they are interested in, it's always good to get any information on the draft process."
