Kupchak sucks at drafting. Loves unathleticism.

don't know the guy. Ryan Kelly sonund like a girly name. Peyton Siva on the other hand sounds like someone from UFC who'll kick your ass.

I just can't get mad at a potentially bad late 2nd round pick. Its so infrequent that a player of any actual value is drafted that low, i can't get mad about it.

Yeah but its kind of head scratching to draft a player that you did not even workout and knew he will fall to your pick.

I'm not mad at the player per se, I just don't understand why we drafted a player at a position we're most stacked at.

read some reviews. so he has a finesse game, face-up, midrange, bad rebounder for his size, not athletic, has good feel for defense.

so is the Lakers getting ready to lose Dwight, play Pau at 5 and make Kelly his Ryan Anderson?

Then draft to our needs. Athleticism. Quickness. Length. Not some lameass goofball.

The Lakers seem to pick guys who they know won't have a shot at making the team. Why draft kids with zero potential?

The team needed athleticism. They went ahead and drafted a wannabe Troy Murphy.

I'm getting fed up with our team's obsession with only homeruns. We're like the power hitter who leads the league in strikeouts.

We better invite Kabango to Summer League. Wouldn't mind seeing CJ Leslie and BJ Young there either. I'll have a scouting report on Kelly up after I watch some highlights

Looks like an even more unathletic Ryan Anderson.

He is D'antoni's dream player.

PG seems like he could be even better than Kobe... IMO.

I like the pick and stand corrected. I said back on the 15th of May a second rounder wouldn't help this team. Kelly could help just don't know how soon.

Wonder if he can hit the three. Would compliment Dwigth if he stays.

This pick definitely has D'Antoni written all over it. I think he'll contribute pretty quickly.
