You draft the best player avaible that high in a draft in the NBA. This is a league where one player by himself can literally lead a team to the finals. This isnt the NFL. Fit should never ever be the main factor when picking that high in an NBA draft. If you feel one player is better than the others then you pick him. i dont give two **** what skill set conflicts with other players on the team as long as we got the best player left at number 4 and this is reflected over the next 15 years.

As a fan of the team yout prioritize as much success as possible over the course of more than just two years.

Also if you are looking at it from a trade asset you would prioritize the same thing as well since another team would want that asset to actually be the best young player possible as well.

There's no consensus pick 4. There are 3 guys that could equally be the best there. Hunter, Culver, Garland. So if it's unknown then you choose the best fit.

Do not underestimate the Los Angeles Lakers leverage in Anthony Davis trade talks

Why are the Lakers looking at players like Taco? They don’t have a late first or second round pick. Can you still buy picks for cash? If the Lakers are looking at players like Fall they need to take a hard look at Kevin Porter Jr. and Bol Bol.

They’ve always looked at players in all ranges even if they don’t have pick, make sense just in case.

Gotta know the quality of prospects available on all ranges so that you can better determine the trade value of draft picks in those ranges on the event they’re in a position trade for any of those picks.

I wonder if Ty still thinks Hunter is the best player available at the 4. After watching that video, I'm not even sure I'd pick Hunter in the top 5.

it's so the crowd can chant "We Want Tacko" instead of "We Want Tacos"

based on the film i definitely feel like a slow 6'7" pf who plays bully ball, has little handle, and weighs 235lbs is not really what I'm looking at. I'm still team Garland.

After that I don't know if I would go D (Hunter) or Athletic wing who's FT % is dubious pointing to another laker who doesn't kill it at the line or from 3.

BPA period. Let’s not over think this, the pick should be going out in a trade anyways.
