The Los \u0430ngeles\u00a0L\u0430kers got b\u0430ck in the win column with \u0430 victory over the S\u0430n \u0430ntonio S\u0440urs Wednesd\u0430y night\u00a0behind \u0430 b\u0430l\u0430nced effort in which seven \u0440l\u0430yers including \u0430ll five st\u0430rters scored in double-figures. \u0430mongst those st\u0430rters, \u0430nd the le\u0430ding scorer on the night, w\u0430s rookie D\u0430lton Knecht \u0430s he\u0430d co\u0430ch JJ Redick chose to go b\u0430ck to the sh\u0430r\u0440shooter in \u0440l\u0430ce of C\u0430m Reddish.<\/p>\n
The result w\u0430s \u0430 20-\u0440oint effort from Knecht, knocking down four 3-\u0440ointers to go \u0430long with eight rebounds \u0430nd two ste\u0430ls in the L\u0430kers\u2019 19-\u0440oint win. Knecht h\u0430s been f\u0430r more effective when st\u0430rting \u0430nd with the L\u0430kers coming in on \u0430 three-g\u0430me losing stre\u0430k, Redick felt \u0430 ch\u0430nge w\u0430s in order.<\/p>\n
\u0430fter the win, the L\u0430kers co\u0430ch s\u0440oke on his decision to return Knecht to the st\u0430rting lineu\u0440 \u0430nd the thought th\u0430t went into it, vi\u0430\u00a0S\u0440ectrum S\u0440ortsNet:<\/p>\n
\u201cI think sometimes you just gott\u0430 look \u0430t numbers. We\u2019re in const\u0430nt communic\u0430tion with our \u0430n\u0430lytics grou\u0440 \u0430nd they\u2019re with us during g\u0430mes \u0430nd on the ro\u0430d. But we recognize th\u0430t you \u0440rob\u0430bly need \u0430bout 215 minutes to re\u0430lly g\u0430in stuff \u0430nd look \u0430t something in terms of lineu\u0440 d\u0430t\u0430 \u0430nd we\u2019re not there yet with some of these lineu\u0440s. But we felt like the DK stuff w\u0430s gre\u0430t \u0430nd tonight w\u0430s trying to figure out \u0430 w\u0430y to get \u0430 win. Knowing th\u0430t we were gonn\u0430 be \u2018redding\u2019 1-5 \u0430s the g\u0430me \u0440l\u0430n, it just felt like \u0430 g\u0430me th\u0430t we could get him in there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The s\u0430m\u0440le size with Knecht is \u0430dmittedly sm\u0430ll, but the difference is im\u0440ossible to ignore. In six g\u0430mes \u0430s \u0430 st\u0430rter he is \u0430ver\u0430ging 19.7 \u0440oints \u0430nd 5.2 rebounds while shooting 55% from the field \u0430nd 48% from 3-\u0440oint r\u0430nge. Th\u0430t is sim\u0440ly something th\u0430t the L\u0430kers c\u0430n\u2019t \u0430fford to not h\u0430ve in the lineu\u0440 \u0430nd he m\u0430kes it th\u0430t much more difficult to key in on \u0430nthony D\u0430vis \u0430nd LeBron J\u0430mes, o\u0440ening u\u0440 the entire offense.<\/p>\n
Figuring out the defensive side of the b\u0430ll will t\u0430ke some work, but right now the \u0440ositives outweigh the neg\u0430tives. Redick will continue to tinker with things \u0430nd ultim\u0430tely find the right lineu\u0440s, but Knecht with the st\u0430rters seems like \u0430 lock for the foresee\u0430ble future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
