The Lakers Show turned into the Dalton Knecht Show inside Footprint Center. The former Tennessee basketball star scored 35 points on 10-of-18 shooting off the bench in the Los Angeles Lakers' 128-122 overtime win against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.

Dalton Knecht was an unbelievable college scorer at the University of Tennessee, averaging 21.7 points per game in his senior year. He was widely regarded as a top 10 pick entering the 2024 draft. It was therefore a shock on draft night when he slid all the way to the Lakers at no.

Dalton Knecht, who fell in the draft to the Lakers at No. 17, made eight three-pointers while scoring 35 points in preseason defeat of the Suns.
