Knecht played himself into some form late last game against Portland and he showed what he can do tonight. Big buckets when Lakers needed him, and played some surprisingly excellent defense.

Edit: ⁷⁄₁₂ shooting, ⁶⁄₇ from 2 and ¹⁄₅ from 3.

still can’t really buy a 3 (only made 1 tonight), but he at least start attacking basket again and cutting, and not bad defense (or I can’t tell if wolves’ offense is horrible)

It really sucks the trade hurt him mentally like that.

I have no clue what it’s like obviously, but it’s pretty clear mentally he was hurting from it for a while

More on the wolves offense being horrid without a PG, but hopefully he bounces back

Knecht also had a decent second half last game on both sides of the ball. The first half was pretty bad though.

He said fuck shooting and starting cutting like crazy. His drive game is actually pretty good. Maybe he should try this more to build up his confidence

Dalton is fighting a sophomore slump on a team where he’s not getting a lot of play time. He’s working on his game and it shows. Still not perfect but I’m glad JJ had him out there to close.

Well it was either Dalton or Vando to close offensively and that’s not really a discussion

I think Vando would have made more sense but Dalton being out there will pay dividends in the future. It’s JJ showing that he trusts him.

If you’re lazy. Also steals and blocks have entirely different functions in the game. There are players that get a ton of blocks but the opposing team still scores.

70 points from the domestic white boys is wild.

When’s the last time American white boys put up 70 in an NBA game?!
