Los Angeles Lakers Wing Dalton Knecht had a recruited season from top to bottom in the NBA. Appearing in 78 games for Los Angeles, Knecht has an average of 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists while converting 37.6% of his 3 -point attempts in 19.2 minutes per competition.
With a fluctuating role under the first-year head coach JJ Redick, Knecht was in and out of the rotation for a large part of the season. In addition to that, it was almost exchanged at the Charlotte Hornets in February for the Mark Williams center, but the agreement was canceled after Los Angeles failed the great man on his physique (via Shams Charania d’Espn).

Despite all this, Knecht experienced very strong moments during his first season since he made the overall choice n ° 17 of Tennessee. This includes a performance of 37 points against Utah Jazz in November when he spilled nine points of 3 points.
