With James well out of the play and Davis on the bench, that chant faintly caught steam for the player picked 17th in this past NBA draft, Dalton Knecht. Known for his sharp shooting, he has electrified the crowd at two consecutive home games. On this night, he made NBA history by tying the record for most threes made by a rookie, finishing with a career-high 37 points. His remarkable performance was a testament to his rapid rise in the league.
As the Lakers faced the Utah Jazz, the synergy between Knecht and the Lakers' system was evident. Coach JJ Redick has praised his adaptability and work ethic, qualities that have transformed Knecht into a key player for the team. After stepping in for the injured Hachimura, Knecht's scoring prowess has not only contributed significantly to the team's success but also energized the fanbase, showing that new talent can rise in the most pressured moments.
