Unpacking how the rookie guards will fit into the Lakers' rotation this season.
The Los Angeles Lakers were at the center of the NBA media storm during the 2024 NBA Draft after selecting Bronny James, son of NBA legend and current Lakers star LeBron James.
The former Southeastern Conference Player of The Year was expected to be a player selected within the first 10 picks of this year’s draft. To everyone's surprise, Knecht would fall out of the lottery and land in the lap of the Lakers. Knecht will have an opportunity to find minutes at the shooting guard position for this Lakers team because his skills as a jump shooter and defender will mesh well with a playmaker like LeBron James. Austin Reaves and Knecht will more than likely share minutes at the off-ball guard spot with Knecht likely being in a 3-and-D type of role.
" impact you can’t get into your offense sometimes," Redick said. "... He literally blows up entire plays because of that pressure and I really believe this, Bronny eventually will be that guy.”
