After the game, Knecht shared what Davis and James said before his finish. “Bron and AD said, ‘It’s time,’ so it was time to take over,” Knecht said. <h2> Dalton Knecht gets hot in Lakers’ preseason game </h2><figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3080570"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3dIZFM_0wCI0YDG00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3dIZFM_0wCI0YDG00" width="1200" height="673" ><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-3080570">Candice Ward-Imagn Images </figcaption></figure> Both the Lakers and Suns played their starters for most of the game, and then the reserves came in with about five minutes left. That’s when Dalton Knecht turned up his game, knocking down several three-pointers to keep the Lakers in the game. After the game, TNT reporter Jared Greenburg asked Knecht about his performance, and he <a href="https://x.com/Lakers/status/1847143002457661725" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> only had four words </a> . “I was just hooping,” Knecht said. Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-absence-vs-suns-jj-redick-explanation" rel="nofollow"> JJ Redick </a> has always had high praise for Knecht and even shared a story after the game about <a href="https://x.com/mcten/status/1847139577599086964?s=46&amp;t=lfeBn-xb5VzgaV3FRop2lA" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> a conversation </a> he and Reggie Miller had about him. “Reggie [Miller] and I were talking before the game, and he was like, ‘It’s high praise to say he’s in the top 1% of shooters …’ Well, nah, he’s in the top 1%. … That was supernatural what he just did,” Redick said. With Knecht’s performance, there’s a good chance that he could see rotational minutes throughout the season, especially if he can get hot like this during certain parts of the game. If anything, Knecht showed that he deserves to see the floor to some extent early in the season.
