Los Angeles Lakers general manager offers more insight into the team picking Dalton Knecht No. 17 overall.
The Los Angeles Lakers got a pleasant surprise on NBA Draft night when Dalton Knecht fell to them at No. 17. The Lakers had all considered Knecht a top-10 player in the draft, but he miraculously fell to the team at 17.
“Just in talking to him when we drafted him, I think, of course he was rated on a lot of the boards top 8, top 7. So I think already you could just feel that mentality of, ‘OK, some of these teams passed on me. I’m going to show them they were wrong,’” Pelinka said, via“You could just get that sense from him, his aura, his vibe. So I just think he’s a really, really interesting tool for us to add to our other players. Really excited.
