Knecht Will Get Some Of The Best Shots a Rookie Can Get...Bet That!! And He'll Get Them All Season Long Preparing Him For The Playoffs... GUARANTEED👌🏿💯
This dude is not Austin reeves , Austin reeves was not the sec player of the year or had the most 35 points in d1 history…. Coming out and Austin was not ready when he came in either
Think the biggest sleeper is Edey in Memphis Idk why people sweep under the rug how many solid bigs are developed in that system. Both Gasol’s, Randolph, JJJ, Santi Aldama, B. Clarke.
Gasol got good foot speed, could stretch the floor with a great mid range and even fron the top of the key Open 3's. All the players you mentioned got jump shot and lateral speed and quick burst speed. Memphis traded Steve Adams, was a disaster and now regretted their mistake and went there to pick a player does exactly what Steve Adam did. Clog the paint, but at least Edey got a NBA level post technique and move set It was a reach. They could've trade down he would've available way later since nobody was picking him. Cheapest contract adding more financial versatility for other pieces on the FA
@@am3818 Entirely agree with you! He steps on the court and gives off the impression that the world owes him something while he stumbles over his two left feet and plays with no urgency.
@@kalb.3002 lol stop acting like you know what you talking about😂. There's no such thing as an true PG when lbj is on your team he is the pg bozo 😂 lbj has never played with a true pg only scoring guards and that's because he doesn't play off the ball foh kid go do some tiktok dances stop talking ball 🤡
Don't worry. Lebron's REAL 2nd coming will be there in 2031. We will find out Lebron fathered a kid outside of his marriage and that will be the 12 year old thats out there somewhere now. And he will do what Bronny cannot and will not LOL.
@cedric. Most of the draft experts that I've read says the Spurs got a good deal because the draft capital they got. Some of those picks that they got now they can use to trade for better players later.
That #30 pick had mini-Luka potential 😮 no hesitation deep 3, great vision quick decision maker, great rebounder at 6'7", QB at HS. Slow and not atlethic, mini-cone at D also. Senior at 23 yo but ready to contribute right away
No they didn't. It was a good trade for San Antonio. They didn't have a need in a weak draft at 8. So they turned the pick into essentially two good picks in probably better drafts in the future as Wembenyama is reaching his prime.
@@KK-pm7udnah the context that the Spurs desperately need a PG is missing though. Even if Rob ends up being a 6th man, you'd think he would be a good fit next to Wemby. Now with Conley to teach him the ropes, Rob will end up looking good eventually and Spurs will be roasted for this trade until that 2031 pick delivers a top pick for them.
Someone make the Dillingham trade make sense to me . Ima Heat fan ( love getting a Big with potential btw ) but I think Dillingham and Castle could’ve been their potential new backcourt .
San Antonio didn't like anyone at 8 and had a good team of starters already. Everywhere people were talking about how 2024 is a historically weak draft so San Antonio was able to get two good picks in future drafts where the talent will probably be a lot better and when Wembenyama is in his prime. Makes sense to me.
@@KK-pm7ud not really .. just watched the spurs marathon they had yesterday on nba tv with wemby . Watched about 10 of their games in a row . Vassal is nice but come on they needed a playmaker like Rob . No one on the spurs has those moves or able to create and shot like Rob . And you pair him with wemby on the lobs and pick and roll !? Even his college coach compared him to iverson . Smh trust me he would have been great for them .
@@kylekyleswae7352 Castle has said that he wants to be the PG on an NBA team. He doesn't want to share it with Dillingham. Castle will be good and can show what you expect from Dillingham without the downsides.
Besides drafting Kel'El Ware who Miami got, this was best case scenario. I had Dalton going in the top 12 so for him to drop to LA is like a makeup for missing on Jordan Hawkins and passing on Whitemore in last year draft.
Man #Celtics I would love for Baylor to develop into the best aspects of lefty handling Brandin P.; Athletic Christian B. & Sharpshooting Austin R. while being a 3&D heat check like Sam House Money Hauser for the #NBA League!
Baylor and Dalton going to the two most iconic Franchises in the league is something especially when they look a like! I hope JJ don't start copycatting #JoeMazzulla
If the Lakers could of only taken Cam or Jamie last year we would have a nice young core to go with Max Christie but we had to take JHS. I hope JHS can put it together in yr 2
I hate when the NBA question a players defense in a League where defense is barely present most nights..also drafting upside vs ready made talent is a reason the NBA product is on a decline and hurt teams trying to turn losing around it take 3 or 4 years for these guys to develop
We have never seen players like Reed, Clingan or Edey be successful in the nba so I don’t understand why they were drafted so high. None of them can defend and will be out of the league in a few years
This is good pick for lakers future if AD and Lebron is not on lakers jersey in the future especially lebron have 2 or 3 years lefr in his career, lakers need young guns
Wow, this is not a good draft. Then again who knows maybe one of these guys will turn into a superstar. I remember thinking. Ja was just going to be an average point guard. Boy was I wrong lol.
Or Knecht's talent isn't going to translate to the NBA level. The Lakers don't seem to be the smartest organization these days. It looks like a good pick, but there's a reason 16 teams didn't pick him before that too.
It's the media, it's what they have to do. You're watching and commenting, right? But it is insane, they talk about Lakers getting someone like Jaxson Hayes as a game-changer. They build up the hype, then talk about the let-down later.
that rob dillingham trade is gone turn in to that 6’10 12 year old lol. im calling it now. spurs could literally have another dynasty in the 2030s if it comes to past.
The NBA is obsessed with controlling a players rights for the first 8 years of their career to maximize their prime years of productivity so they keep drafting young. At the end of that 18 or 19 year old's 2nd contract they'll be in the middle of their prime. With Knecht he would be in his early 30's by that point so he slipped.
Austin Reeves: Did we just become best friends?
Dalton Knecht: YUP!!!
Noooope ….this moves makes Austin reeves expendable…watch especially reeves makin 55 million , they’ll def look to move Austin for a pg

play in😂
Great pick for Lakers especially getting him at 17
So now they have two Austin Reaves. They still losing DLo for nothing
@blablablaa14 You obviously have never seen this guy play the only thing he has in common with Reaves is that he's White.
This dude is not Austin reeves , Austin reeves was not the sec player of the year or had the most 35 points in d1 history…. Coming out and Austin was not ready when he came in either
Go put Austin on the trade block then, he'll be snatched faster than the newest iphone.
DLo is hot garbage @@blablablaa14

Sending prayers your way
Classic ESPN. There's 16 other players drafted before this and yet they put the Lakers on the headline. Always finding a way to talk about Lakers.
LeESPN as always
Are there any other teams in the league besides the Lakers and Celtics?
I'm surprised they don't just have LeBron step to the podium instead of Adam Silver
@@Gurenn83..😅😅
Classic laker hater. 16 teams drafted before LA and you still seem to have be he lakers in your mouth too.
Its the 17th pick in the worst draft in 20 years. The biggest thing is the Lakers lack so much depth that they'll need him.
Knecht was the best player in college this past season that I seen Lakers got a good pick
The rest of the nba decides to give the Lakers a stimulus package lol.
As a vols fan, im excited to see what happens with Knecht.
Probably nothing. Rookies don't usually play much, and Lebron HATES rookies
Name the good rookie he hated?@@blablablaa14
@@blablablaa14yea that is not true lol, and knecht is gonna get mins this season cuz he’s pretty nba ready and hes 23 years old
@@blablablaa14reaves?!?
Laker nation you got to love this a complete steal at 17.
Smoothest player in the draft.
Sexiest too
Think the biggest sleeper is Edey in Memphis Idk why people sweep under the rug how many solid bigs are developed in that system. Both Gasol’s, Randolph, JJJ, Santi Aldama, B. Clarke.
Edey is Marc Gasoline part 2 mark my words
JJJ is overrated. Not a winner.

He’s got such slow foot speed
What a way to make up for the blunder last year picking JHS in the same draft range as podz Jacquez and whitmore
I still remember all the ppl praised that pick. Might as well just trade it away
I agree, Jaquez whitmore pods > jhs. what a bust.
Guys relax! Everyone knows Jalen Hood-Schifino is gonna be all-nba in a few years! 🤣💀
As a Laker fan I can’t stand JHS. He gives off Westbrook vibes like dafuq is he on the court for? Hope they can trade him for someone better
@@am3818 Entirely agree with you! He steps on the court and gives off the impression that the world owes him something while he stumbles over his two left feet and plays with no urgency.

That guy isn’t good man lmao

Knecht is 🔥 💪.
With his size and skills, he is such a versatile offensive threat.
Laker really got a gem even with their late 17th pick.
That San Antonio trade was a real head scratcher, 2031? Really?
Don't worry. Lebron's REAL 2nd coming will be there in 2031. We will find out Lebron fathered a kid outside of his marriage and that will be the 12 year old thats out there somewhere now. And he will do what Bronny cannot and will not LOL.

My Lakers making the right moves at the top of the summer!
They did nothing, they got a gift
Get counseling
League finna look so different in like 3-4 years
Knecht also can take contact and finish at the rim......GREAT pick!
Great reacap! No “arguing” fluff 👍🏻
This is a win win for our laker nation
dalton knecht - the steal of the draft.
Ignorant, idiotic and foolish
This is exactly who I wanted the Lakers to get 🙌🏾
Knecht is a ROTY player but the Lakers are packed and he'll only be having a support/bench role
Lakers just completed their super team triplet. 2024-2025 champions
Lakers and Hurley mentioned 🔥
Very good pick for the Lakers. 👍
How do the blazers mess up every single draft
How did they mess up?
Dalton is a straight dog. love this kid’s game. toughhh
Dalton Knecht best Player in this draft
Surprised he fell to 17 tbh
Yep top 10 talent for sure
You gotta love it, out of all picks they talk about Dalton Knecht. Lakers making headlines when they aren't suppose to 🤣🤣🤣 #LakerNation
The fix is in.. They Gave LeBron The Wyt Luka.. 23 is pro in the league.. If lukas 26 what he look like 3 yrs ago..lml 😂Thiat kid is 🔥 🔥

so many players from France
Great fit.. hope Lakers dont fumble this one
They saying this draft weaker because college basketball wasn't that good but i think it will be better than 2022 draft
ill take it
You never know until the season starts .
