[Saba Sports News] Dalton Knecht has only been in the NBA for a few weeks, but the former Tennessee star already received an incredible autograph request from a fan.
Knecht, drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 17th overall pick last month, has been impressive early on in the NBA Summer League. On Wednesday, he shared a photo on Instagram of himself signing a fan’s “Connect 4” box in Las Vegas. Knecht’s last name is pronounced “connect,” and he chose jersey No. 4 with the Lakers after wearing No. 3 in college (Anthony Davis wears No. 3 for L.A.).
With Knecht putting up strong performances in his first two Summer League games (averaging 22 points per game and shooting over 40% from three-point range), the “Connect 4” nickname is already starting to catch on. Clearly, one fan saw this coming.
