Today is definitely a day to be happy for Lakers fans. Although the Lakers did not bring in reinforcements this offseason, the Lakers' first-round pick No. 17 pick selected this offseason Kreicter's performance today gave many fans a shot in the arm, today he came off the bench to score 35 points on 8-of-13 shooting from beyond the three-point line, and he scored 20 consecutive points in the second half of the fourth quarter and overtime to help the team win. Kneckt is undoubtedly a first-time fame in this game. Lakers fans were thrilled to see him perform, and were glad the Lakers were able to select him with the 17th pick in the first round.

There is no doubt that Kneckett has convinced many players through his performance, and has also detonated the whole country, and after today's game, he said that Kneckett is a very capable young man. He thinks Knecht will win the rookie of the season and thinks the Lakers will finish in the top four in the West. And after the game, the United States media also admitted that the Lakers found the next "Klay Thompson".

In fact, many fans also compared Kneckert to Thompson after watching his style of play. He and Thompson are both the kind of players who are very good at catching and shooting, and even Kneckett's offensive ability with the ball is even better than Thompson's. What's more, like Thompson, he has a lot of self-confidence in shooting, and whether he shoots before or not, it won't affect his next shot. This is the mental quality that a top pitcher must have.

If Knecht can grow into a player of Thompson's level, it will be a great blessing for the Lakers. He could even influence the development of the Lakers in the next decade. Imagine if Reaves and Knecht formed the Lakers' backcourt combination after James retired, and Davis still very dominant, then the Lakers could complete a smooth transition. Even if James retires, the Lakers can have the ability to compete for the playoffs.

At this stage, what Kneckt needs to improve is his defensive ability. To be the next Thompson, what he needs to do is keep improving on the defensive end. You must know that Thompson is the top 3-and-D player in NBA history. Not only is his three-point shooting superb, but Thompson was also among the league's top defensive players at his peak. If he only has a three-pointer and no defense, then he can't compare to Thompson. Kneckt has the potential to be a defensive stalwart because his physicality is there, he has good physicality and height. Hopefully, under Redick's management, Knecht will be able to grow rapidly within a few years. Lakers fans are very eager to see him grow in the future, and hope that he can become the league's dominant player as soon as possible.
