Is anyone upset Lakers drafted Wagner over Mitchell Robinson?

[damntoni]

Micthell is 3rd in blocks and plays 10 minutes less than AD and Myles Turner.

btw. Lakers were considering drafting Mr Robinson

Discuss.

Honestly more upset that we lost Zubac for nothing, Robinson is a steal, but every team in the league had a chance to draft him.

Wagner doesn't play any minutes, so I don't know if he's good or not.

[Slava]

Who cares? It's not like knicks aren't a dumpster fire on defense when he plays.

[dockingsched]

Is he any good? Blocks per game are something I haven’t used to seriously evaluate a player in years, seems so useless.

Yes I'm sure the Lakers management is upset. It's a gamble though, you never know how it will turn out in the NBA.

Mitch is great but this is just a ballboy troll thread.

[what would jack bauer do?]

There are a lot of things I'm upset with magic and pelinka for. Not drafting Mitchell Robinson, letting Randle walk, not signing Lopez on the cheap, trading Zubac while knowing Chandler is essentially done. Hell I would even take boogie cousins right now. At least he's big and grabs rebounds instead of batting everything to the three point line.

[TylersLakers]

That's one of the many things. I wanted Holiday, Huerter, Robinson, Robert Williams, and Brunson. The fact that we went completely off the board to get Wagner is annoying.

I don't play this game with draft picks. Every franchise whiffs.

The thing with Mitchell Robinson is, I could never find any concrete evidence that he even worked out for us? I recall a ton of chatter that we promised to draft him --- every mock draft had him here, as well, but it always felt like dart throwing.

So, no, if we did not seriously consider him at 25, there's no bitterness on my end. Let's give Mo some time on the court before we write him off.

If anything, I am a little bitter about Thomas Bryant. And if we strike out and/or mishandle our cap space again this summer, I will be bringing the pitch forks out over Zu.

Congrats to the Knicks, though. Solid pick.

Mitchell limited his workouts and skipped the combine. It seems they had a commitment from several teams. It was a gamble because Mitchell lost out on getting drafted earlier and a higher salary. He's only at 1.2mil.

I'm pretty sure Knicks will **** this up as well. Knicks are as dysfunctional as the Suns. Wouldnt be surprised if he's traded.

On another note... Pelicans played the Lakers. Totally disrupted the locker room and momentum.

AD should walk and leave them regretting their foul actions.

Go back to the draft board


I would say 90% of lakers fans were very mad at the time. While some fans said, hey, let’s give them a chance. The front office is smart....


Well...
A year later. Everything they have done has backfired.

Wagner hasn’t played a meaningful min and Mitchell looks like the next gobert

How will he walk?
He is under contract next year. Trade him for ur biggest payoff.

I don't see the point in this.
