Former Vols Star Dalton Knecht Ready to Morph Into Lakers ‘Knecht 4’

The Lakers introduced their NBA draft picks Tuesday, including former Vols stand-out Dalton Knecht, who they took in the first round. Knecht says it’ll be pretty surreal to suit up with LeBron James and the rest of the Lakers crew next season, especially since Knecht will be wearing the jersey number four.

Said Knecht:”It’s been exciting meeting him in person and through the phone. Been a fun journey because like I said earlier, my journey has been different. Coming here to an historic franchise, it’s going to be fun. Ready to get to work. I knew eventually like I probably would have to run into number four. Three has been my number my whole life. Then three. AD got it (Anthony Davis). Why not do ‘Knecht 4’. Why not.”
