NBA Hall of Famer and analyst Charles Barkley rips NBA general managers for letting Dalton Knecht fall to the Lakers in the draft.
The Lakers snapped their seven-game season opener losing streak on Tuesday night and will look to carry that momentum into their next matchup on Friday against the Phoenix Suns.
All eyes were on Anthony Davis, who played like an MVP candidate he is when he was at the top of the game. While that was the case, NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley was impressed with what he saw from Lakers rookie guard Dalton Knecht. Knecht was projected to be a lottery pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. However, due to his age , many teams were worried he wouldn't get any better in his career, and because of that, he fell to No. 17 to the Lakers.
