If we keep our pick, the only one of the top 5 prospects (Towns, Mudiay, Williams, Okafor, Johnson) that I hope we don't get is Okafor. Has bust/underachiever written all over him. Any of the other 5 is fine with me though

I wasn't impressed with Harrison twins at all, but why not Dakari? I liked him as a third big for us

Stiff, reminds me of, ironically, another Harrison-David Harrison. Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm perfectly fine with Tarik Black as the backup C

didn't notice such things, thanks moonpie. I don't mind Tarik Black as back up C for now either, he'll be making 850k next season if the team picks up his option too :nod:

Not sure he'll be a bust but he's definitely not a good fit for our team.

Not sure if this has been posted. Comparing Okafor and Towns. Good points.

I would be very happy with one of Towns,Okafor, Mudiay,Russell or Winslow.

Just keep the pick.

Why RJ Hunter and Brimah? I didn't even saw Brimah in draftexpress mock draft, is he declaring?

Post #1129 » by **Goudelock** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 6:37 pm

pick 1--Karl Towns/Jahlil Okafor/Russell/Hezonja
Houston pick--RJ Hunter
2nd rd pick--Sam Dekker?

we don't need towns or okafor if we keep randle
we don't need Russell or muiday if we keep Clarkson
sf is the biggest need so winslow is the pick

I get the 2nd one but I don't get your first logic. Yeah Winslow is a great prospect and I can live with picking him, but Towns is the best prospect and a better fit next to Randle. Okafor and Randle wouldn't work defensively though. Also if we get Russell I still wouldn't complain. Russell/Clarkson would be perfect fit offensively, one more attacker, one great shooter and both can handle the ball.

Yup that logic only works for Muliday, and I still rather get him than Winslow if the FO thinks he will be a better player.

The league today is about having 2 or more quality bigs,guards and wings. Its true that we need a quality wing, but we also need another quality big and another quality guard, and in terms of fit, Russell and Kat are perfect compliments to our existing pieces. I'll be very happy with Winslow, assuming we get the fifth pick.

Somebody's gotta protect the rim bro hence the reason to draft Towns or WCS. You don't always have to draft need: just get the BPA. Clarkson can play either guard position which gives the Lakers flexibility to draft either a PG or SG.

No way Dekker falls to the 2nd round.

I really want Winslow with the 4th pick (assuming we stay there).

TKainZero · Post #1136 » by **TKainZero** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 11:18 am

I really want hezonja

ratedrdb · Post #1137 » by **ratedrdb** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 4:30 pm

winslow

LApwnd · Post #1138 » by **LApwnd** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 7:53 pm

Russell is my guy but if he doesn't fall or we move into top 3, I'd be fine with Winslow or Johnson.

ArC_man · Post #1139 » by **ArC_man** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:14 am

I hope Caris Levert declares for the draft and falls to our Houston pick. We have a history of drafting players with foot injuries :lol:

kblo247 · Post #1140 » by **kblo247** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 3:07 am

Muiday
Hollis Jefferson
Upshaw

Or my hope trade for Cousins with all of the picks and yes even Randle if need be who hasn't. Sniffed a minute of meaningful nba play

Who will win the national championship?
