Dalton Knecht is playing less minutes per game in his sophomore season than he did in his rookie year with the Los Angeles Lakers. His 3-point percentage is down, as are his attempts, and the same can be said for several other key categories. It is time to move on from the former first-round pick.
The Lakers can look back to the 2024 NBA Draft and find several players taken right after Knecht who are turning into better pros with their teams. Los Angeles can also see just how well Mark Williams is playing with the Phoenix Suns and ponder a failed trade they may have wanted finalized after all.
