With Bogut's release, the Lakers are now searching for players they can test out...

Never heard of this kid...

From the videos he can shoot. Welcome Wilson!

It's nice to see that he can shoot. Although that seems to be the only thing he's good at, i just don't see the fit. We're already overloaded at the 4, and Brewer is pretty much guaranteed 5 minutes every game at SF due to his streak.

Having a hard time seeing where he would fit in our rotation right now. Maybe he can start out playing spot minutes alongside Ennis and Brewer. Or Luke would have to put the "Zo with the 2nd unit experiment" on hold.

Only way this makes normal sense is if we have a trade lined up for some combination of our existing 4s and 4/5s... But then again, we already have a ton of 4s so maybe normal logic doesn't apply to our 4 position.

Seems like a SF. I haven't watched him play however.

I think basketball reference said he played 94% of his minutes at PF this season, unless I'm reading it wrong.

It's possible we could play him at the wing with the type of defenders we have on the team. I hope so.

Nice, I like the way this FO is approaching this Trade Deadline as it gets closer.

Nice to see that Wilson is used to a system very similar to what the Lakers do. Lakers do a lot of those plays in those highlights above so hoping he gets some run.

Just watched a G league game between Windy City Bulls and Austin Spurs. Blossomgame looks good along with Hilliard on the Spurs. Blakenley is a Lou Williams type played as PG. He can score in bunches at will but doesn't swing it around enough. The more interesting prospect on the Bulls is Diamond Stone, big man with high energy, bouncy feet, good motor. He's a raw talent who could have a high ceiling. He's a year or two out from contributing. Only 21, in his second G league year.

Welcome, Wilson! Yay, he can shoot. And we do need shooters. Does he play defense? :-)

weird they considered him in the first place based on positional need.
