After two games downturn, the Lakers wing star finally found the level he deserved when facing the Spurs?

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Los Angeles Lakers completed a big comeback in the final quarter and finally defeated the San Antonio Spurs 89-88. After this game, the Lakers, who won two consecutive victories, improved their record in the summer league to 2 wins and 1 loss, while the Spurs' record dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

In this game, Lakers wing star Dalton Knecht, who performed poorly in the first two summer leagues, also found his own feel. Kneckett played 29 minutes and 19 seconds in the game, made 9 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 25 points and 8 rebounds, including 4 frontcourt rebounds and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +5. Kneckett showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he finally found his own feel. He also completed his scoring in various ways at critical moments of the game. On the offensive end, he also proved that he had the ability to become a top scorer in this level of competition. Kneckett's performance on the defensive end was quite average and did not cause too much trouble to the team. Overall, Kneckett's outstanding performance at critical moments is also a key factor in the Lakers' ability to complete the reversal.

Summer League so far, Kneckett has averaged 27 minutes of playing time in the first three games, with averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.7 turnovers and 2.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 36.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 23.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.5%. Kneckett's performance in the first two games can be said to be a mess, and he has not performed at his level at all. His condition is very worrying. As a player who entered the Lakers' rotation last season, he should have a dominant performance in the summer league, but he kept making blacksmiths on the court and wasted a lot of opportunities. In this game, Kneckett finally showed his level at a critical moment, which also satisfies Lakers fans.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kneckett made a total of 78 appearances in 82 games, averaging 19.2 minutes per game, averaging 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 46.1% from the field, 37.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 76.2% from free throws. In the playoffs, Kneckett only got two chances, averaging only 1.8 minutes of playing time, averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds, shooting percentage of 40% and three-point shooting percentage of 25%. For Kneckett, the summer league is also a key opportunity for him to prove his strength, and he also needs to improve his self-confidence through the summer league. He has the ability to maintain such a level of performance in this game in the summer league. I don't know if he can continue to perform like this next.
