A great follow on Twitter if you're a Lakers fan.

I wonder if he took Fox's numbers, how many of those guys turned out to be good shooters. I'd bet a significant portion.

Yeah after reading ur previous post, I was about to tell you that he actually did one for Fox.

He reminds me of Mudiay but much lighter. I don't even understand how this is an argument lol. If anyone is going to challenge Lonzo it would be Josh Jackson. Fox shouldn't even be picked b4 Dennis Smith Jr...

Lavar, what if I said your boy's playing style is more of Orlando Magic Penny Hardaway than that of Jason Kidd?

1. Blossomgame
2. Sterling Brown, SMU
3. Tyler Dorsey
4. Cameron Oliver
5. Ivan Rabb
6. Xavier Rathman-Mayes, Florida State

Blossomgame, Dorsey and Oliver are considered late 2nd round picks while Rabb is a mid to late first round candidate. Brown and Mayes look to be potential summer invite candidates.

Lakers Draft Workout - June 5, 2017:

1. TJ Cline, Richmond
2. Jawun Evans
3. Josh Hart
4. Monte Morris
5. Roger Moute a Bidias, Cal
6. Tyler Roberson, Syracuse

Evans, Hart and Morris are possible #28 picks but moste likely a second rounder. Hart was projected to go as high as top 20 but has been falling hard in the last 2 months. Morris is looking like a late second rounder or possibly a summer league player. Evans on the other hand has been moving up a few charts. He is now projected in the late 1st round.

http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/170605-draft-workouts?cid=tw

Of course, we also have the most important workout this summer on June 7th when Big Baller cames into camp. This could seal the deal with the Lakers or open up the chance for Jackson/Tatum to become a Laker.

BPA for #2 and #28!!
Ball/Jackson/Tatum
BAM/Bell/Bradley/Jackson/Ojeleye

monte morris is gonna be a 2nd rounder or summer league pickup, but i love that kid's game. doesn't quite have the frame or defensive skills, but can be george hill-lite.

Hopefully we see a Devin Robinson sighting. Aside from the fact he's older than Josh Jackson by a couple years, he's a very similar player and if we came out of this draft with Ball and Robinson, I'd be pumped.

Fox probably 4th or 5th point guard prospect (depend what you think on hard-to-spell-french-kid's potential), it would be stupid for the Lakers to draft him when Lonzo, DSJ, Tatum, Josh or even Markaneen still there.

Yes Fox is fast, so was Jennings..

And it begins...

Lonzo will fall in this draft if the Lakers do not pick him at #2. I think the FO would love to trade down and pick up another first rounder plus Ball. Again, BPA!!

If the report is true, he isn't dropping past Philly. I'd hate if they end up with him because he's perfect for that team. Its funny how this stuff is coming out now, before his workout.
