How good of a defender is Knect? Got nothing against the guy but I am hoping he is a terrible defender now that he is going to the Lakers.

Regardless of how good a defender he is, he's white so people will say he sucks lol

Good pick for the lakers. No brainer

-Knecht is BPA
-lakers desperately need shooting..he can shoot
-Lakers have a small window with lebron/AD getting old..trying to win now. Knecht is 23 yrs old, ready to contribute right now

Biggest no brainer of a pick in the whole draft.

Now let's see if the lakers draft bronny in the 2nd round..

He's not good on D.

But not terrible.

Got better as the season went on.

Scored really well in the agility drill at combine too which bodes well for sliding his feet defensively..can improve on D in the league too..

I'm sure Lakers would prefer trading all their picks to move Lebron's age from 39 to 34.

The draft is too damn slow. God

Whelp, Orlando sprinted to get that pick in. Nobody left that I’d want to trade up for

He's comparable to guys like Kevin Martin & Nick Young IMO.

I think I would go Nick Young, a legit good scorer, not great but not a liability in other facets of the game. He didn't impress me a ton in the tourney, although he averaged 20+ per game.

I'm preparing myself for Denver or Utah to piss me off by taking who I want.

It’s only slow because they want commercials and commentary. These picks are in immediately, they need to stop pretending they aren’t! Hurry the hell up!!

I want Filipowski off the board so we aren't tempted to take that bum

Hal14 · Post #718 » by **Hal14** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 2:06 am

Da Silva
Franz Wagner
Moe Wagner

We need some teams in the 20s to reach on some guys for need. That way we either get a good prospect pushed down for us to take or we get top value on a trade out.
