    Los Angeles Lakers rookies Bronny James and Dalton Knecht made their preseason debuts on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.

    James, the son of Lakers star LeBron James, particularly impressed on defense, such as when he got a block that ultimately led to his assist on a Rui Hachimura basket shot.

    The 19-year-old recorded two blocks and one assist in six minutes on the field in the first half.

    Knecht looked good offensively and hit this midfield jumper for his first two points. He finished the first half with six points, a steal and a block in six minutes.

    It’s still very early, of course, but both newcomers showed some good signs that excited fans.

    If you still don’t see a pro in Bronny’s game, I just don’t know. Easy preseason highlight, but back to college.

    Bronny looks special

    Bronny looks good on defense, Dalton + Max on offense.

    Coach Jay @JaySpann24

    Bronny will make some purely defensive teams throughout his career

    Bronny James on defense is something else🔥🔥🔥🔥

    SmallwoodWorldwide @Smallwood WWide

    Bronny’s defense will be effective!

    Jamal Cristopher @JamCristopher

    It’s clear to me that Dalton Knecht will have a real chance to break into the Lakers’ rotation.

    Rush @DarkKnight_3

    Dalton Knecht needs to be in the Lakers rotation

    Prisareetski @prisareetskii

    Knecht will fit in so well with this team

    Colb @___Colb___

    Christie and Knecht can and should play real minutes for the Lakers.

    Daman Rangoola @damanr

    I really like everything we see from Dalton Knecht

    Stone Hansen @report_court

    I think it would be a mistake not to have Knecht as one of the nine rotation players for the Lakers

    The Lakers’ next preseason game is Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET against the Phoenix Suns, rounding out the two-game stretch at Acrisure Arena.
