we know what phil thinks about rookies.
I hope one day they give one of these 2nd rounders a chance at making the team.. this might be the year with the FA's we have

Good thing that Ariza was himself a homless man's Trevor Ariza. I'd say no more than half of us, and that's being generous, even knew who Ariza was before he came here.

he has potential. he did not improve that much between his freshman and sophmore year and he slipped because of it. if kobe can take him under his wing and mentor him i think ebanks could be the steal of the draft.

Huh?

That made little sense.
And Trevors from LA, went to UCLA, more than half of us knew who he was.

he even looks a bit like ariza.... i did slip alot in the draft... i was expecting him to go late 1st round... give him some time to develop he may give some production off the bench during the reg season..

I think dude will play a bit because our bench will be depleted. I keep hearing on the net that Buss is gonna cut salaries all around. Players and staff because of the impending lock out. You can't balme him it is a smart business move but bad basketball move.

As prospects, both of them are strikingly similar (borderline identical) in terms of height/weight/frame/measurables/game/appearance. Ariza was a bit more athletic, Ebanks is a slightly better man defender and a better rebounder. Both of them couldn't shoot a lick out of college and both were drafted #43 overall in mediocre drafts (2004, 2010). Ebanks is being humble but the comparison is amazingly accurate. That said, Ebanks, like Ariza, has a long way to go to be a player in this league.
