Dalton Knecht, selected with the 17th overall pick, has become a standout rookie, recently putting on a show by scoring 32 points in a game against Denver and tying an NBA rookie record with nine threes against Utah.
Despite being involved in a trade deadline deal that was rescinded, Knecht has remained focused and is averaging 9.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game.
Knecht has been benefiting from the playmaking of new teammate Luka Dončić, scoring in double digits in seven of his last nine games and averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists over that period.
His scoring ability and the contributions of Gabe Vincent are expected to be crucial for the team's bench as they approach the playoffs.
