A group of people were chasing after them, but the Lakers new wing star had the lowest plus-minus on the team?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers, playing at home, defeated the San Antonio Spurs in a thrilling 118-116 game. After this game, the Lakers' record, which had won five consecutive victories, improved to 7 wins and 2 losses, and their ranking surpassed the Spurs and moved to second place in the Western Conference; while the Spurs, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 5 wins and 2 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by many teams and fell to fifth place in the Western Conference.

In this game, although the Lakers finally won the game, the performance of the team's substitute wing star Dalton Knecht was still unsatisfactory. Knecht played for 15 minutes and 37 seconds, shooting 1 of 4 from the field and 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line. He only had 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, as well as 1 turnover and 3 fouls. The plus-minus value was as low as -6, the lowest in the team. Knecter still has not used his scoring and shooting abilities on the offensive end, and he seems to be outside the team's system. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is still not ideal, and he still cannot have a good effect on the defensive end. Overall, Knect's performance in this game was once again very disappointing, and the team's situation when he was on the court was also very bad, which was also an important factor in his very limited playing time.

In the NBA regular season last season, Knecht played a total of 78 times in 82 games, averaging 19.2 minutes per game and 9.1 per game. Points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.1 blocks, 0.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, shooting 46.1% from the field, 37.6% from the three-point range, and 76.2% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Knecht only got 2 playing opportunities, averaging only 1.8 minutes per game, averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, shooting 40% from the field and 25% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Knecht has played a total of 8 times in the first 9 games, averaging 18.3 minutes per game, averaging 6.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 42.9% from the field, 21.4% from the three-point range, and 80% from the free throw line.

Knecter has not shown any progress or improvement at all this season, and his tool for success, that is, his outside shooting percentage is simply ridiculously low. It is because the Lakers are really short of manpower that he was able to enter the team's rotation. The only problem is that players like Nick Smith Jr. and even players at the end of the bench, like Bronny James, have brought out their own characteristics to varying degrees, while Knect's performance so far can be described as almost useless. Kneckert's playing time will only become less and less in the future. After the stars recover, Kneckert may fall directly out of the team's rotation.
