Led the Lakers second team to score 8 points in the final quarter. The performance of the Lakers new wing star was so eye-catching.

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Dallas Mavericks made a strong effort in the final quarter and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at home 121-94. After this game, the Mavericks' record in the preseason improved to 3 wins and 1 loss, while the Lakers' record in the preseason dropped to 1 win and 4 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Lakers' starting wing star Dalton Knecht was completely disastrous. Knecht played 34 minutes and 43 seconds, making 3 of 12 shots, 1 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws. He only scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus of -25. Knecter still had no touch on the offensive end. He got a lot of outside shooting opportunities, but his offensive efficiency was really appalling, and he wasted opportunities again and again. Knecter's performance on the defensive end was equally bad, and he was easily penetrated by his opponents. The Lakers gave Knecht a lot of playing time, and even arranged for him to serve as the core figure of the team's second lineup in the last quarter of the game. As a result, under his leadership, the Lakers scored 8 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, and the team was directly taken away by a wave of opponents. It is no exaggeration to say that the Lakers suffered a disastrous defeat in this game, and a large part of the reason was due to Knecht's series of poor performances. From any point of view, he should have performed better.

Knecter was born in April 2001. He is 24 years old, 198cm tall and 98kg in weight. He is a wing scorer from the University of Tennessee selected by the Lakers with the 17th overall pick in the first round of last year's NBA draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Knecht played a total of 78 times in 82 games, averaging 19.2 minutes per game. He averaged 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also had 0.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 46.1% from the field, 37.6% from the three-point range, and 76.2% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Knecht only got 2 playing opportunities, averaging only 1.8 minutes per game, averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, shooting 40% from the field and 25% from the three-point range. Since the preseason, Knecht has averaged 29.5 minutes per game in the first five games, averaging 9.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game. He also has 1 turnover and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage is 30.4%, 22.6% from three-point range, and 70.6% from free throws.

The Lakers can be said to have focused on Knecht's performance during the preseason. They provided Knecht with a large amount of playing time and high ball rights. As a result, everyone has seen his performance in the preseason. He got so many opportunities but his performance never improved. In this game, he played his worst game so far in the preseason. Each game is getting worse and worse, and each game is more eye-catching. We don’t know what Knecht has been through this summer. With Knecht's performance, one thing is certain. It is impossible for him to stay in the team's rotation after the start of the regular season, and his status with the Lakers may not be guaranteed in the new season.
