The Dodgers have selected the contract of catcher Chuckie Robinson and placed catcher Will Smith on the injured list with neck inflammation, retroactive to June 8.
I think rumors like the Kel'el Ware one highlight how beneficial it would be for the Lakers to actually draft a capable big man.
Ware was selected just two picks ahead of Knecht in the 2024 draft. Yves Missi, who the Lakers have also been linked to, went four picks later.
The last big man the Lakers drafted was Ivica Zubac back in 2016. 10 years ago.
Hindsight is always a factor, and finding the right fit is easier said than done. But IMO, even a serviceable, high-energy big could go a long way and make an impact.
