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

    James, the son of Lakers star LeBron James, was especially impressive on defense, such as when he got a block that ultimately led to his assist on a Rui Hachimura bucket.

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

    Knecht looked good offensively, beating this mid-range jumper for his first two points. He finished the first half with six points, one steal and one block in six minutes.

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

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

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

    Coach Jay @JaySpann24

    Bronny is going to make some defensive teams in his career

    Bronny’s defense will make an impact!

    It’s clear to me that Dalton servant has a real chance to break into the Lakers rotation.

    Hast @Dark Knight_3

    Dalton Knecht needs to be in the Lakers rotation

    Prisareetsky @prisareetskii

    Knecht fits this team so well

    Colb @___Colb___

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

    Daman Rangoola @dam no

    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 out of the gate

    The Lakers’ next preseason game is Sunday against the Phoenix Suns at 9:30 PM ET, capping off a two-game stretch at Acrisure Arena.
