Dalton Knecht Discussion: The Struggle Is Real

This guy is "slow". What's to process Rook? Personally I thought he would be really really happy to be back and have another shot to work harder on his areas of weakness. What's your other option, Dalton?

 

Exactly. What a wimpy thing to say to the coach if that's true.

 

C'mon guys he's a rookie and a human being .. He's back to the team and people who didn't want him anymore and there is still uncertainty over the trade .

 

We used to have a very bad coach who needs to talk to Dalton. Because sometimes you just need to man up.

 

Whoever "leaked" that sure didn't do him any favors. Then again if true DK certainly didn't either. AR needs to take him out for a couple beers and talk to him and explain the facts of NBA life. OK ... in a kind and gentle way since DK does look up to AR. And he should. Austin will tell him to work his a** off so he can get to the point where he can flip all of his doubters the bird.

 

i think a good place to process this information is with the southbay lakers.

seriously, i like knecht, but he's been a weak spot in the rotation in all but a handful of games. we're trying to make a run, and we can't afford to have guys who miss assignments routinely on both ends.

south bay has time for that. i will be happy to see him once the coach at southbay says he's getting better about these things. for now, his minutes are going to rui and vando.

 

Thanks for that! Too late though .... The Dame of Doom has her hackles up.

I was just piling on.

 

lol, my comments stand, as i was pretty skeptical that he would really say that to redick.

i still think he needs some reps just running nba offensive and defensive schemes, and we can't afford to let him learn on the job right now.

 

Can we let him regroup a few games with SouthBay?? He can go score 100 points and feel good. I have some empathy but if that was me, I would be doing cartwheels up and down the court to be back. Until my knees collapsed anyway...lol. Dalton is going to survive but I agree with abeer, OJT right now is going to be tough. I would like to get him some minutes that twenty points in three-minute hand might come in handy later. We need wins and homecourt advantage. We have shifted from fifth gear into championship drive.

 

I’m a huge Dalton Fan.
I’m not going to pile on based on a “maybe real” quote.
I do think that some time down with South Bay could do him good because there’s no way he’s getting any minutes away from our new defensive golden boy: The Masked Man

 

which is what we do here in CL… especially calling our fat players fat

 

Yes, let the hate flow through his veins, and try to score 100, shoot thirty threes a game
