USA TODAY College Sports Wire on MSNDalton Knecht, Cooper Flagg by the numbers in Lakers-Mavericks NBA Summer League gameKnecht was selected in the first round of the 2024 NBA draft (No. 17 overall) by the Lakers. During his rookie season, he played 78 games, averaging 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals per game.
Frenzy became bedlam on the next play. Flagg talked trash to James, ran to his spot on the left wing, pivoted off the catch and nailed the shot before turning to exult with his future Mavericks varsity teammates, who cheered him on decked out in casual wear from their courtside seats.
The Lakers (0-1) were led by Cole Swider, collecting 24 points and eight rebounds. DJ Steward had 20 points, two rebounds and six assists. Each player shot 7-for-10 from the field. Dalton Knecht compiled 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals, while Darius Bazley led the bench with 10 points, four rebounds and three blocks.
