Today, the Lakers went to challenge the Nuggets with a remnant, because it was a back-to-back game today, so Doncic hung up the free card, and today Knecket entered the starting lineup, partnering Reaves in the backcourt. Reaves had a great performance today, scoring 37 points in the game, while Knecht was not far behind, scoring 32 points in the game, including hitting five three-pointers, not just three-pointers, but also many baskets.
Today, Kneckt fully showed his talent on the offensive end after getting plenty of possession. It seems that he has come out of the haze of the trade some time ago, Knecket is a very talented offensive player, we can see from his style of play that his scoring explosiveness is very strong, but in the Lakers he needs to ensure enough shots to be able to contribute a good performance, because shooters must get more ball bonuses.
Kneckett is the typical shooter on the current Lakers roster, and he is also the most suitable for some catch-and-shoot shots. So if the Lakers want to make a difference in the playoffs, Knecht must practice his catch-and-shoot ability for the rest of the regular season. Because this style of play is likely to make him a fatal blow in the playoffs, and from this season, Kneckt's self-confidence is very strong, which is a necessary factor for a player to succeed, and it is also a necessary gene for a shooter.
Knecht is getting better and better, and Bronny off the court may be a little embarrassed to see Knecht's performance. Because they were rookies who were drafted by the Lakers in the same class, and Knecht has fully proven himself with the Lakers at the moment and has secured a seat in the rotation. Bronny, on the other hand, can only play in garbage time at the moment, and it may be difficult for Bronny to make it into the rotation even next season. There may be a big distance between him and Kneckt that needs to be crossed. Maybe the two of them are not at the same level at all, and this is something that Bronny needs to face. For Bronny, maybe he can't do the offense of Kneckt's level, and for Bronny, maybe his most important task is to shape himself as a defensive elite, to be able to play some chaotic battles, to be able to do some dirty work on the court, only then can he remain in the league after James retires, I don't know what the fans think?
