Never didn’t he think Dalton Knecht’s name would still be on the board once the Los Angeles Lakers had their turn with the No. 17 overall pick. “I didn’t know he would fall to 17, at all,” James told reporters in Las Vegas on Saturday, “so I didn’t think we would have an opportunity to get him. But I’m glad we did. I’m glad we did.” James knows exactly what Knecht brings to the table after watching his Tennessee games last season.
