During an NBA Cup group stage game against the Utah Jazz, Knecht went on an insane hot streak in the third quarter. The rookie sharpshooter knocked down four 3-pointers in a row before paying homage to the great Michael Jordan with a little shrug after the bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Knecht wasn&#8217;t ready to stop there. he immediately splashed another three before sinking one more just after the fourth quarter started, giving him six threes in under four minutes of game time as the Lakers pulled away from the Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Knecht scored the Lakers&#8217; final 18 points of the third quarter and finished with a career-high 37 points on 12-of-15 shooting and 9-of-11 from 3-point land, tying the rookie record for 3-point field goals in a game. While he was busy getting buckets, fans on social media couldn&#8217;t believe what they were seeing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI mean come on,\u201d one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. \u201cWith Dalton Knecht shooting like this \ud83d\udc40 ROY potential and more importantly someone for the Lakers to continue to turn to.\u201d Another added, \u201cWe\u2019re getting *Jordan Shrugs* in the Lakers game from Knecht!?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knecht is leading the way for the Lakers as they look to close out the Jazz and improve to 2-0 in NBA Cup play. If they&#8217;re able to close it out, it would keep the Lakers undefeated in NBA Cup games both this year and last season, when they won the entire tournament&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Knecht shooting the ball like this is a very positive sign for a Lakers team that desperately needs his shooting on the outside. Obviously not every night is going to look like this, but he will be a major factor in the rotation all season if he&#8217;s able to consistently knock down shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the stories of the NBA Draft was former Tennessee superstar Dalton Knecht falling all the way to the Los Angeles Lakers in the late teens&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9420,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
