2017 Lakers Draft Pick Discussion

Fultz ain't all that bruh. Ainge is strange, but it's a good time to capitalize when a player is lower on your board despite being the 'consensus' #1 throughout the league.

Not surprised Fultz is getting all this love. Dude is the real deal.

Philly takes Fultz at #1, Lakers take Ball at #2, and Jackson goes to Celtics at #3.

Absolutely. Everyone gets what they want.

This is definitely worth noting. So now Jackson's workout was meh and Magic and Pelinka are in Chino right now. If the reports come out that Lonzo was great today the narrative shifts back to Lonzo being the consensus #2 and we have come back full circle.

Silly season indeed.

maybe even trade #2 for #3 and one of the first round picks 76ers are givings up.

To me Fultz is like taller DSJ, even sometimes DSJ plays better than Fultz. I just dont understand fascination with Fultz

Sixers robbed big time if the wiretap news is true, that Celtics like Josh Jackson more (weird since Jaylen is like him a lot)

We need to stick to what our team needs are which is leadership and ball handling and more passing with less selfish play .
All of that points to Ball.
We shouldn't let all this noise around us detract from our needs.
Go with Ball all the way.

At this point, every player the Lakers have brought in has been reported to be less than stellar in their workout. To me, that comes off that they're willing to talk pick because they're not giving any indication of who they prefer.

must have missed the report that Fultz murdered his workout with the Lakers and magic is in love with him.

Who do the Lakers draft on June 22nd with the 2nd overall pick?
