It was not long ago that Dalton Knecht was considered the crown jewel of the Los Angeles Lakers’ young core. Things can change fast in the NBA, and this summer, they have.
After an up-and-down summer league, the hype around Knecht has cooled. Meanwhile, Bronny James has steadily gained ground, and according to Sam Vecenie of The Game Theory Podcast, he might have passed Knecht altogether.
“I kind of just buy the athleticism and where he [Bronny] is in his developmental curve a little bit more,” Vecenie said regarding who he would rather bet on long-term.
