DK WITH THE DRIVE. 5 POINTS!

Let’s goooooool!

Lakers went on 15-0 run when DK entered the game...

Chuck going after NBA GM’s for letting DK slide to the Lakers

DK's defender is not leaving to help. It is opening up space for driving on his side of the floor. And his pick 'n roll pass to Hayes (for the dunk) was perfect. Hard to drop that in your first real NBA game.

Announcers said Knect was the Lakers best scorer off the bench so he should be a solid part of the rotation this year.

 

[VolMax]

Any shot he replaces Reaves in the starting lineup?

 

[VolMax]

Of course, Reaves shows out right after I posted the above...

Knecht should be the 1st sub off the bench for the Lakers.

They don’t play the same position so doubtful

 

[ENGRVOL]

First of many

First NBA game I've watched in years. Reaves doesn't look like typical 2 (SG). He had a good game tonight but doesn't appear to be a real shooting threat. I guess I don't know the difference in a 2 or a 3 (SF) in a league where 5's shoot a lot of 3's...I'm old.

 

[Lukusw]

Knecht had a solid first game.

 

[CBVols]

The Vols got a lot of love. The announcers were mentioning the Tennessee connection any time they said DKs name. Was really nice to hear!

I think it’s common to just call them “wings” if they’re doing that perimeter-oriented but largely positionless thing

That always helps with VOLS love. Dalton did great in his debut.

Which is why I mentioned him possibly replacing Reaves in the starting lineup at some point down the road...

DK going to have to earn the media respect with Lebron and his son getting the majority of it. But time will take of that as DK is a much better player than Lebron's son.

He already has earned the respect of the media. Plus he has the respect of the Lakers' two best players

 

[ArdentVol]

fourth best plus, minus for the LAs last night
only plus off bench

Barkley was raving about him. He’s being talked up as a dark horse ROTY candidate. Snoop has dubbed him “West Side Knecht”

The bronny stuff will quiet down once he drops to the g league. Nobody has ever thought bronny was the better player. I don’t know why people get so bent out of shape over a human interest story. It takes nothing away from DK.

Yeah Barkley knows talent when he sees it as do other players. I was speaking more about the LA and ESPN type media.

Yeah. They’ll talk about the father/son thing because it’s pretty rare and the Griffy’s were in the crowd and everything. Honestly, it’s pretty cool even if it was a little contrived to get him there. But now that it’s done and the games have started, you’ll see a lot more actual basketball talk (and maybe an occasional Bronny update if he has a good game in the g league).
