Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers in a preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, it was two other rookies who stole the show. Rob Dillingham of Minnesota scored 21 points, while Dalton Knecht of the Lakers finished with 16 points, including two 3-pointers.
Knecht, a sharp-shooting 23-year-old who was selected by the Lakers at No. 17 in the draft, had an impressive performance. He made seven of his first nine shots and showed great aggression on offense. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis sitting out this game, Knecht’s scoring ability off the bench could be valuable for the team.
On the other hand, Bronny James had a shaky start to his NBA career. He struggled to find his rhythm and finished with just one basket out of six attempts. However, he did show some improvement as the game went on and contributed with blocks and assists.
Rob Dillingham also had an impressive showing for Minnesota. The guard displayed confidence and scoring ability throughout the game. His shooting range and runner were particularly noteworthy.
these rookies showcased their potential in their respective teams’ preseason opener. Knecht’s scoring prowess could be beneficial for the Lakers’ bench unit while Dillingham has shown promise as a shot-creator for Minnesota.
