Bol Bol definetely top two talent in this draft beside Zion.

people just thinking too much about unecessary things. People will laugh at me but 5 years from now people will understand. Just pick him and run. No need for Garland or another useless guard. Go big or go home !

Way too much of an injury risk.

I think if we end up trading Lonzo in the AD trade we draft Garland but if we somehow keep Lonzo then we draft Culver because Ingram or Kuz or both will be gone and there needs to be somebody to fill the hole.

Nice breakdown. I definitely prefer Culver to Hunter.

Has similar issues to talents already here and unless we bring in a shooting coach for him he doesn't help

If we trade for AD, the pick is LONG gone.

Yeah not too mention the 4th pick has more value for the Pelicans right now than after the draft, unless the Lakers and Pelicans value the same player at 4.

Do you honestly think that guy will be healthy enough to have any kind of meaningful career?

Does Garland play defense?

VanVleet is my kind of bench PG. Plays every second of defense with focus and intensity.

I’m on the Hunter wagon but I’m trading the pick as we’re in win now mode.
PG: D Lo / Reaves / Vincent(IL) / JHS
SG: Christie / Dinwiddie / Lewis / Mays
SF: LBJ / Prince / Reddish / Windler
PF: Rui / Vando(IL) / LBJ
CTR: AD / Hayes / Wood

If you want hunter so badly youd be smart to trade down with the suns since there is no way in hell the cavs are picking hunter over culver.

My issue with him beyond injury is the reports that he was a horrible interview with poor workouts leaving GMs feeling like he doesn't care about his craft or really playing. He sounds spoiled and lazy.

I agree about his natural talent and possible fit as a stretch 5

If we are keeping this pick I'll strongly consider Bol. Height is one thing that you can't teach in basketball. Plus it seems that he is agile for his size and it seems that he has range too. Drafting him is a gamble because he looks raw but I say I'll gamble on him as this team doesn't have a legit future C since Zu is gone.

I hope the Lakers know who they are taking at #4 if the Anthony Davis trade doesn’t happen before the draft. The only player they brought in was Culver.
