Many people have always thought that the Lakers have obvious problems on the defensive end, but as the season progresses, their problems on the offensive end are starting to show themselves. In the past, the Lakers played very well when they won the game, but as the teams paid attention to Knekt and began to strengthen their defense against him, Kneckt's three-point shooting has also declined significantly. In his last five games, he has shot just 3-of-21 from three-point range. On the field, he can't play the role of a shooter anymore.
When Kneckt broke out before, many fans praised him as the Lakers' "Klay Thompson", but in fact, Kneckt was not taken seriously by the opposing defense at that time. When his opponents began to put themselves at him, Kneckt's discomfort was evident. In addition, Kneckert is completely unrivaled by Thompson, who was already a very good defensive player at his age at a young age. Kneckert, on the other hand, is clearly an offensive player who is not good at defending. His defensive skills and confrontations are not comparable to those of Thompson of his age.
So now Redick is very embarrassed, thinking that Knecht's three-point shot can be an important part of his system and can help him achieve the tactical play he wants. But after this didn't work, he couldn't play a lot of tactics on the court, and the Lakers showed a lot of disorganized offense. So a marksman is not so easy to create, he needs to go through the test of strong defense, if he can still maintain the stability of projection under high-intensity defense, he can really be regarded as a marksman.
Kneckett's upbringing with the Lakers is not a wonderful environment, because the Lakers have a lot of players who need to carry the ball and need the ball. He's in a lineup like this, his ball possession is not guaranteed, and a player of Kneckt's type who wants to develop shooting consistency and gradually move towards Klay Thompson may be more suitable for growing up in a weak team or a bad team, giving him enough possession to give him enough opportunities to practice against any team, which is more conducive to his growth. With James, Davis, Russell, Reaves around, his ball possession is limited.
If Kneckett wants to get a foothold in the league and spend more time in the league, he needs to improve his defensive ability and transform himself into a 3-and-D player. When his defensive weakness is being targeted by more and more opponents, it will be difficult for him to win in the league at that time. Remember Joe Harris back then? If he had great defensive qualities, he would probably still be a very sought-after player today.
