With the 1st I would take Jackson/Ball/Isaac (in that order as of now).
With the WAS 1st I would hope for Ferguson/Justin Jackson/Bacon (in no particular order at this time).
With the 2nd (if LAL misses out on their 1st) I would target one of Hart/Brooks/Thornwell/Trier/Iwundo/Blossomgame (again, in no particular order at this time).
You're sleeping on Ntilikina (I learned pronounced "tee-lee-kee-nah").
If he had played at Duke last year, meaning more people saw him, he'd be ranked above Ball.
TyCobb has him ranked as the second best PG in this draft (next to Ball). I have him as the best PG for the Lakers -- above Fultz, Ball, and Fox.
He's long as hell (6.5 w/a 7 feet wingspan), plays beautifully committed defense, shoots with precision, and runs an offense with poise.
His issues (ironically, like Ball) are consistent offensive aggression and a questionable first step (although I think this may be overstated though).
This years draft is deep in PG and PF positions. The Lakers better get a solid PG and some stretch PF or a defensive minded, rim protecting PF or BPA.
Again, I would love for the FO to talk with Boston and pick up a few second rounders. We have the roster space and Boston does not. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/245945/Draft-Prospects-Could-Avoid-Boston-Workouts-Due-To-Playing-Time-Concerns In fact, Boston might be in trouble with agents as they are too deep and many agents might not provide Boston with a workout.
