That's really impressive. Barnes continues to bring in and develop talent. That's not including Springer and Grant, who are established enough, that they got their roster spot locked up. I think Keon, Dalton and Phillips do, also

 

[volz2wallz]

Knecht will be making his debut on ESPN in 15 mins..in summer league action...

 

[Voltopia]

Knecht's working to get open looks in the Summer League game, but not getting any passes out of the effort. None of the other Lakers are interested in giving anyone else the ball. Everyone playing for bags.

Found after a post from @Orange.

That video brings me back to Admiral burying #1 Gonzaga in the clutch with a bunch of NBA range threes

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Yves Pons sighting

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Knecht has had some gorgeous passes early in this game, he just can’t get shots to fall so far. His defense hasn’t been bad IMO either. But I could be wrong. Harder to tell on that front sometimes.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Pons better dunk the life out of Bronny and stay away from Knecht!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

DK for threeeeeeeee.

I'd say it's just rust. Hopefully the 2nd half will be better

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Knecht really struggling so far, but not unexpected for your first ever game against professionals.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Maxwell Lewis is very good but that guy does NOT look to pass. If he touches it, he’s shooting it.

 

[Voltopia]

Having had the game on in the background, my biggest observation is that this has been the "Bronny James and the Lakers" broadcast. Every time they take a break, it's Bronny and the Lakers with these guys. All the announcers talk about is Bronny this, Bronny that. They've spent the whole show either defending his presence or explaining how he can come along and improve.

Not that I have any personal stake in that aspect of their team or anything, but it's just funny to hear them carrying all that water. It's almost comical. No, strike that, it IS comical.

I actually have been actively watching the entire broadcast, and it is not dominated by Bronny talk. They spent as much time defending Knecht as they did James, and they talked about Knecht's accolades as well.

That Arms dude is looking good.

Yeah. Same with the Hinson guy from Pitt who was a UDFA. Knecht has had a hard time adjusting but he’s played nice defense and had some nice assists. The shots will fall eventually, I think.

I agree; NCAA to NBA is a huge adjustment. I'd venture to guess that the game is moving very fast for him. Once it slows down, I think he will find success. He's already looking better at the tail end of this game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

DK 5-9 from FT. If he just hits his charity stripe shots he would have finished with 16 points. Still, 12 PTS 4 AST 2 RB 2 STL isn’t a bad line, although the 12 points was on 3-12 shooting.

 

[Namorto1]

DK took good shots throughout, but couldn’t throw it in the bucket from anywhere, even FT line. Otherwise he showed some playmaking ability, they let him initiate offense often, had zero turnovers, had two steals and only looked overmatched once on defensive end.

If he had shot average he would have scored over 20. He looked pissed at end of game. Knowing him, he will be in the gym tonight.

 

[Unimane]

DK gained confidence throughout the game. He'll score as he finds his rhythm. Summer league games can be difficult to judge. A lot of the time, guys who have been pros at the lower levels or 2nd year players shine because they are used to this level, but they have deficiencies keeping them off the floor in the NBA. The Arms dude for the Kings is 26 years old. He might find a spot at the end of the bench somewhere, but he's playing summer ball for a reason. DK, though, will have a 25-30 point game soon and be in the Lakers rotation when the season starts.

 

[Orange.]

I think it took DK a little time to realize that his teamates weren't trying to win the game; they were trying to make the team. I enjoyed seeing him. He's looked much sharper, but not a bad outing for what it was. Looking forward to when games are for real.

But what about bronny?

 

[Vol49er]

Santi just had a really nice drive to the rim ending with a nice dump off for the assist. Flashed a real handle there

He also just got a call out from the announcers about his nice defense. Then missed a wide open three though

Come back around the end of October.
