Knicks' Mike Brown makes stance on ex-Laker Dalton Knecht crystal clear after debut vs. Bulls
- On Wednesday, the New York Knicks debuted Dalton Knecht in their 135-105 victory over the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden, with the 25-year-old making an immediate impact off the bench.
- Less than three weeks after the Los Angeles Lakers waived him, the former 17th overall NBA Draft pick was claimed by New York, providing him a fresh start after struggling to find consistent playing time in Los Angeles.
- In 16 minutes of play, Knecht scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including two three-pointers, while adding seven rebounds, an assist, and a block during his first appearance.
- Head coach Mike Brown said, "He's a scorer, he's not just a shooter," while emphasizing that Knecht must improve defensively to earn consistent rotation minutes moving forward.
- Knecht's two-way contract limits him to 50 games unless converted to a standard deal, meaning he will split time between the Knicks and their G-League affiliate in Westchester.
