@SleeperBot: The Los Angeles Lakers selected Dalton Knecht with the 17th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and initially played him in significant minutes, where he shone early under the guidance of coach J.J. Redick. However, as December began, Knecht's performance declined, particularly his shooting percentage, revealing his defensive struggles and impacting the Lakers' bench scoring. To rebuild his confidence and rediscover his shooting form, a stint with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League is suggested as a beneficial move for both Knecht's development and the team's success.
