The shortcomings have not been improved at all! The Lakers wing star s performance in the Summer United is really terrible

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 67-58. After this game, the Clippers have won three consecutive victories in the summer league, with a current record of 3 wins and 0 losses, while the Lakers currently have a record of 1 wins and 2 losses in the summer league.

In this game, the Lakers' starting small forward Dalton Knecht's performance was simply terrible. Kneckett made 28 minutes and 47 seconds in the game, made 3 of 15 shots, 1 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 4 free throws, scoring 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -13. Kneckett had no touch on the offensive end. He got a lot of opportunities, but he missed opportunities again and again. His performance in offensive selection was surprising, and he also lacked basic passing and organizational skills, and there were obvious problems in his overall situation. Kneckett's performance on the defensive end is also very disappointing, and his personal defense ability is also a serious lack of level. The positive and negative values of -13 can also indicate the negative impact he has on the team. The Lakers suffered such a loss in this game, which also had obvious problems with Kneckett's poor performance.

Summer League so far, Kneckett has played 5 games in total, averaging 27.1 minutes per game, averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. His shooting percentage is 33.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%. Kneckett's performance in these games is obviously very disappointing. His data doesn't seem to be bad, but in fact his performance cannot stand the scrutiny at all. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are both terrible. His performance on the defensive end is also very average. His ability in passing and organization has not made any progress. His overall performance is indeed a huge gap with everyone's expectations.

Knector was last year's first round pick. He was also a member of the Lakers' rotation lineup most of last season. Although his performance last season was ups and downs, he had a good season and he was able to play a lot of roles on the offensive end. With his performance in the NBA regular season and his personal ability, he should have won all the games at the summer league level. As a result, Kneckett was able to perform like this in the summer league, and we are really worried about his situation. It seems that he has not improved his shortcomings at all, and his strengths seem to be unable to fully utilize them. This seems a bit too bad, right?
