[noblekane]

[purpnyellow]

Wonder if this new laker management goes the zubac route with the 28th pick

Draft a young euro who balls out in summer league and doesn't get stashed over seas?

?

I'm not on board with that, that bench scoring is a commodity you don't want to be without

Plus we need that quality depth

Good riddance.

I'll pack his bags for him and order his uber ride to LAX.

He was the first person to know they had #2 pick this year. 1 hour ahead before it was announced on TV.

Sooo for the 2nd time in 3 years the team that tanked harder than us fell in the random draw while we jumped [emoji]129300[/emoji][emoji]129300[/emoji][emoji]129300[/emoji]

For the record I would've preferred fultz over the 18 pick but at number 2 or 3 I like my chances at a top 8 in next year's class. Still I think lonzo will be solid but he's not as sexy as other prospects

D'Lo+Randle for PG13 is happening this summer. Book it.

Care to wager?


Didn't think so

Not sold on Ball.

 

[MambaMentality824]

Damn kinda disappointed on how everyone is so set on Ball. Really think he's overrated and won't be a great player in the league. Will be solid for sure because his passing ability is great but lacks in way too many other areas. I especially hate it though if our FO believes its smart to move D'Lo just because we draft Ball. I know I'm in the minority but idc, Id much rather have Josh Jackson or if we are gonna go with a PG De'Aaron Fox is a better prospect IMO.

Not all of us are set with Ball.
I want Josh Jackson too, we need someone like Jackson. Versatile, great defender, high energy, athleticism.

I will be happy with anyone overall because im just happy to have the pick, but id really prefer Jackson over Lonzo by MILES

 

[CHAOSE57]

I hope Boston takes Ball so we can have Fultz. Long shot though

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ball definitely does not make dlo expendable. He's a notch below and needs probably more development at the 1 than Russ did coming out

Josh Jackson is a tweener. He does not fit with the current young core. Him and Ingram would fight for playing time at the 3 position. And hell no Ingram is nowhere close to being able to playing the 4 position

De'Aaron Fox is a project who does not have a jumper or 3 point range. He's basically another Rondo coming out of Kentucky known for his defense.

 

[Lizakers]

Bye Dlo

 

[MVP]

If they take JJ y'all cool with him coming off the bench? Cause he's not better than BI.

IF the pick is ball
I still like d'lo here

That would be the dumbest move they could make

JJ can't play 2?

Fox's stroke is really nice though and is a good free throw shooter. He can def develop that jumper over time and his speed/slashing ability is something special. Not to mention he could be a great defender as well where Lonzo lacks. Fox ate his lunch in that tourney game... He's a better prospect IMO.

With Jackson if we took him I'd play him at the 2. Another guy who I think can develop that jumper over time. His athleticism and defensive ability could be special and I could see him developing like a Jimmy Butler type player. Russ, Jackson, Ingram, Randle, Zu would be a nice, long athletic, and defensively shutdown lineup in due time.

 

[dceja]

You guys really fooling yourselves...Fultz is the #1 pick doesn't matter if it's the Celtics or another team...magic loves ball and that's who we are drafting

 

[mr j 858]

 

He doesn't even need to worry about shipping his rides to wherever he moves to also.
