The games don't count yet, but Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht announced to the NBA on Thursday night that he's ready to make an impact.
In 32 minutes off the bench, Knecht scored 35 points on 10-of-18 shooting with eight of those makes from downtown while adding seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks. He scored 20 of the Lakers' final 22 points as they forced overtime and beat the Phoenix Suns 128–122 in a preseason tune-up.
