On October 13, when the Lakers defeated the Warriors in the preseason, Dalton Knecht was the starting No. 2 player. In this game, Knecht swept away the gloom and scored in double figures. In the previous two games, Knecht made a total of 5 of 21 and 3 of 14 three-pointers. He was even regarded as a negative asset by many teams. Many GMs believed that the Lakers needed to get some high-quality assets to send him away.

Knecht played very well in this campaign. He scored 7 points and 2 assists in the second quarter. He hit another three-pointer in the third quarter and another three-pointer in the final quarter. He already scored 13 points with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

In 33 minutes of the game, Knecht made 4 of 9, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His shooting percentage was 44.4%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40%, his true shooting percentage was 63.9%, and his plus-minus value was +7. In fact, he had played the strongest game in the summer league so far.

Time goes back to the NBA preseason debut on July 6. In 30 minutes, he made 3 of 13, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover (coincidentally, that game was also against the Warriors).

Throughout the summer league, Knecht averaged 11.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 32.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 23.7%. 99 days passed in the blink of an eye, and Knecht finally ushered in his strongest battle.

Redick commented on Knecht after the game: Among all Lakers players, Knecht was actually the best offensive player in the training camp. The team also tracked data. He scored 42 points more than other teammates in actual combat and shot about 60% from the field. However, his defense is the key to improving his upper limit.

Knecht talked about Redick's evaluation of himself. He said: Fighting against Vanderbilt and Smart in the training camp increased his confidence. If I can score in their hands, then other defenders will guard me, and it will be easier for me to score points.

I personally think Redick's words are exaggerated, because the outside world knows that the Lakers don't have many trading chips. If Knect is a trading chip to improve the lineup, it will be very difficult for the Lakers to sign him if he has negative equity. Everyone understands this tacitly.
