The Story in 60 Seconds

The Sixer Sense argues that the Philadelphia 76ers should target Dalton Knecht as a free agent addition after the Los Angeles Lakers parted ways with the 25-year-old wing. Knecht struggled to secure regular playing time in Los Angeles, averaging just 10.2 minutes per game in his most recent campaign.

The writer suggests that Philadelphia could pursue Knecht in December on a prorated veteran's minimum deal to address their need for three-point shooting around star players. Knecht previously converted nearly 38 percent of his shots from beyond the arc during his rookie season.
