Knecht was the best scorer in the SEC, averaging 21.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game at Tennessee. He's one of the older players in the first round at 23 but can be a plug-and-play guy right away, contributing with his size and three-level scoring. LeBron is going to love playing with him as the all-time 3-point assist leader in NBA history.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
As expected, Bronny James is headed to the Lakers to join his dad, LeBron, as the first father/son duo to share the court in NBA history. LeBron has said numerous times that he wants to end his career playing alongside his son and agent Rich Paul did everything he could to deter any other team from taking him. Bronny is far from a finished product but the skills he does have currently translates to the NBA with his 6-foot-7 wingspan and how well he can contain the perimeter.
