The Los Angeles Lakers have announced the schedule for the first press conference featuring their newly drafted rookies, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James. The event is set for Tuesday, July 2, at noon PT.
Dalton Knecht, selected with the 17th pick in the draft, is considered a significant addition to the team. At 23 years old, Knecht was projected to be a lottery pick but fell to the Lakers, making him a potential steal. He is expected to integrate smoothly into the team's rotation and will wear the No. 4 jersey.
Bronny James, picked at No. 55, is one of the most talked-about selections due to his father, LeBron James. While opinions on Bronny vary, he will have the opportunity to prove himself, likely starting his career in the G-League. He will don the No. 9 jersey for the Lakers.
