Lakers coach JJ Redick wasting no time involving NBA Draft pick Dalton Knecht
The Los Angeles Lakers landed a talent who fell down the board at the NBA Draft in Tennessee's Dalton Knecht.
Lakers coach JJ Redick couldn't be more excited to add Knecht to his roster, as reporter Jovan Buha reported that "Rob Pelinka said coach JJ Redick immediately began drawing up pindowns and ATO sets on a whiteboard for Knecht for next season."
Fans were eager about the report while also taking some jabs at former coach Darvin Ham in the comments. Redick isn't the only one excited about the selection, as Lakers superstar LeBron James spoke highly of Knecht during the season.
Knecht is a flamethrower on the offensive end, averaging 21.7 points on 45.8% shooting in his junior season with the Volunteers. At 23 years old, Knecht is ready to help LA contend for a championship the second he touches the floor.
