7 of 27 shots, Lakers champions bombard Redick, James persuasion is useless

Summer League So far, Lakers' young champion Kneckett has made a total of 27 shots, and his performance is extremely unsatisfactory. It is even said that its performance is not as good as Brownie. In the just-concluded regular season, this player has repeatedly stood up to ask for the ball, the playing time, and openly bombarded the team's head coach Redick not to give him a chance. Even James persuaded him to be patient, but he was rejected, and the star compared himself to the next Klay Thompson in the NBA.

But in terms of his current personality and his playing style, he has become a cancer of the Lakers. Originally, the team wanted to rely on his 3-point shooting, but in this summer league, his 3-point shooting percentage was only 23%. Such a dismal shooting efficiency, you must know that it was played in the NBA Summer League. I really don’t know where this player got the confidence to ask the team for playing time. Perhaps when he was trading Mark Williams, he was put on the trading shelves, and he was already discouraged by the Lakers from that time on. And the reason why it played so poorly is also because it was deliberately performed for the Lakers.

Kneckett made the atmosphere inside the Lakers become tense. The teammates also began to discuss in private. Some thought he was too self-centered and did not consider the team; some thought he might be frustrated and wanted to prove himself to be extreme.

The management also had a headache. Originally, he had high hopes for him and wanted to cultivate a stable external firepower point. Now it seems that this plan is probably going to be ruined. Coach Redick is even more helpless. He is under great pressure to coach and has to deal with the negative emotions of the players. Although James couldn't persuade Kneckett, he did not give up. He planned to find some time to chat with him. After all, they are all teammates, and it's just a handful of them. But if Knector continues to be so stubborn, the Lakers will really lose patience with him. At that time, don’t talk about playing time, whether they can stay in the team will be a problem. This young man really has to reflect on his behavior.
