Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Dalton Knecht has begun to find his rhythm in the NBA, and the Lakers need it to keep up for multiple reasons.The Lakers have been looking for someone who can consistently and efficiently create their own shot next to the Hall of Fame duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

In rookie Dalton Knecht, the Los Angeles Lakers appear to have found a shooter. And it’s no exaggeration to say it can change everything for the Lakers, both right now and into the far future.

It was that kind of night for the 23-year-old rookie in the Lakers’ 124-118 win over the Jazz on Tuesday. With the victory, the Lakers improved to 10-4 this season and 2-0 in NBA Cup group play (and 9-0 all-time in the tournament). Los Angeles has won six straight games.
