Sounds crazy - but potentially rookie of the year. Seriously.
GREAT PICK. AWESOME LAKERS!
Lakers desperately need shooters and Knecht fills the roll as a plug and play immediately. Great pick.
It just proves that most professional scouts are borderline incompetent. Just see where Tom Brandy was drafted. I watched many Michigan games where he lead comebacks before he became the GOAT.
No actually it proves that UA-cam clowns who make bank off clicks, likes, follows, mentions & subscribers know how to push the buttons of their audience in order to attract a loyal following. If you think either of these clowns knows more about these players than the people who spend 60-80 hours a week in the game films & talking to coaches, players & analyzing data...then you're not very bright. Wait to see if this guy does anything before you decide that because Tom Brady made it in the NFL that means all socuts are morons.
I'm guessing you didn't see Brady coming either...did you?
NBA Gm's have gone a little loopy. They are constantly taking big swings and misses when good players are available.
23 vs 22 year olds... come on man! It's not like he's in his 30s.
It’s vs 18/19/20 yr olds vs 23/24. I like the pick a lot but that’s a big difference
His age is not relevant, but the pathway he took to major college basketball is. He spent 2 years in junior college, & another 2 at a crappy Big Sky school (Northern Colorado). That means he was already halfway past the age when NBA scouts consider "upside" to be leveling off. I'll grant that he scored a lot for Tennessee, but it was mostly on the strength of being a high volume 3 point shooter. He put up over 40% from distance in the college game but NBA great shooters tend to be very good at the line as well, and he has remained at 73% for his whole career. I'm not saying he can't play in the league, just that this guy calling him the second best player in the game was silly. He slid to 17 in a mediocre draft because that's where NBA front office people had him ranked...despite what these to think of "outside evaluators" ranking him in the top 10.
@@MarkLewis-l3fhe shot 83% from the ft in his last season, he didn’t just score a lot, he was big shot player
Go Lakers! Can't believe we got him at 17!
I like the pick lot for Lakers, but he wasn’t consensus top10 from non nba front expected draft experts. He was usually 6-10 for sure, but I def saw some big boards that had him 11-12 range.
JJ was 12.8 not 12.3 ppg for career and that’s bc he didn’t play much early.
His 10 yr prime from 2010-11 to 19-20 he averaged 15 PPG on 45/42/90 splits.
He reminds me more of Wally Szczerbiak and Thunder Dan Majerle.
This is exactly why the NBA has been in decline since the early 2000's. Drafting on "potential" makes absolutely no since to me. The NBA has gone from drafting MEN to drafting BOYS.
Spot on!!!
Well said. Imagine Dalton dropped because of his age. You want a dude that is NBA ready, and Dalton is it. Lakers steal of a deal
Yes! On Lakers' next pick, I hope they get another NBA ready player.
Giannis was a draft on potential
The nba has been on the rise since the early 2000s
Are you old enough to remember Kyle Korver as a college player ? That's Dalton Knecht.
The Man Went 17th because the 16 teams that passed on didn’t need him. I like that the Lakers acquired a shooter
The team that picked fifth could have used him.
His age alone is not the issue, it's the fact that he took such a circuitous route to major college basketball. He had to do two seasons in a junior college, followed by two more at a crappy Big Sky school before he got to the SEC. NBA scouts tend to see players as having a lower ceiling to improve by the time they have done 3 years in college. This guy had 5 years in college. That's why he fell to #17, & it's not an unimportant concern just because Lebron is almost 40...which has literally nothing to do with this guy's future NBA career.
It should show his dedication to the game, no D1 offers and worked hard for his spot, you know he ain’t running from the grind
The guy supposedly is slow laterally. Just like reaves and dlo. So now they have 3 guys who cant😂
That’s what vando and reddish are for
That's what they said about Kuzma, he got better. This guy is athletic, meaning he can get better.
He actually isn’t slow laterally he had some of the best NBA combine numbers in the short shuttle and has a 39 inch vertical jump, he’s a way better athlete than DLo and Reaves 😂
@travesotom6890 Are you an nba scout? That's what his profile says 🤣
@@drexlspivey3047his defense can improve, it improved under Tennessee, and it will improve in the league, but he grinds
One of the smartest picks the Lakers' front office has ever made!!! THIS KID CAN BALL AND SHOOT!!! I'm very excited and look forward to seeing him in a Lakers uniform!! Dalton was underrated during his entire basketball career until his senior year at Tennessee and was undervalued in this draft! Good for him!!!
So I was confused about a lot of teams that passed up on him, starting with Detroit, then Charlotte, then Grizzlies, Thunder, Kings, and Sixers. Those teams all chose young player based off potential or they chose fit especially teams like Memphis and Miami.
Knecht doesn’t fit the timeline of a few a of these teams and doesn’t fill a role that some of the tops teams that could have drafted need.Grizzlies were smart and picked Edey, Okc doesn’t need another guard/Sf, heat needed a big. Philly picking McCain over Knecht is an interesting choice but not completely egregious
Dalton is 23. Most of the younger guys drafted above him will won't play for years if ever.
Thank You to the big Man and Jerry West 😇
He gets #4 I’m getting the jersey
Dalton = Luka Just watch!
nah bruh 🤣
More of Tyler Herro upside
@@StoriesByAi_ Your comment need a translation. Speak English, not brah speak.
@@aldrickandrion2650 your assclown peanut gallery comment is duly noted and forgotten.
@@ericwilliams626 Oh my bad man. Not a chance Eric Williams.
Lakers gonna trade him lol
Oh yeah you know someone in the front office?
I doubt it he’s a keeper
Nope 😂
He’ll make it up in endorsements if he’s good enough
👑LAKERNATION SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TERRENCE SHANNON JR ..
Not a good enough shooter right now. He’s one of the most athletic ballers in the draft for sure and can drive with the best of them but Lakers need shooters. Dalton will help immediately this year!
