Super tough decision... It remains to be seen how smart it was but I had to have Kap in his prime...

Thanks Man... The Lakers have a lot of great Centers/Years to choose from so I'm not sure it was the wisest choice from a building the total team perspective, but it was just too hard to pass up...

Build from the inside out right?

Yeah - it is tough to decide. Whoever is picked at #5 determines whether or not I go big.

Interesting Stat on Elgin Baylor:
He leads the Lakers all-time in Total Rebounds.




J-Far/Dcash fail at updating Twitter.



When I'm away, if I can't look up season, can you guys just pick which one seems best?

Just in case it got skipped over as the last post on the previous page. 17 24 16, it is your pick!

[Slava]

I completely forgot about Twitter since you were around but I'll update it when its your turn.

With the 7th overall pick in the All-Time Lakers Draft, 17 24 16 selects:
1965-1966 Jerry West

6'2"
31.3 PPG
7.1 RPG
6.1 APG
47.3 FG%
40.7 MPG

In the last year of his career, when they started keeping steals, he averaged 2.5 per game so it wouldn't be a reach to think he average a full one higher in his prime playing 10 more minutes.

things are moving, great picks!

I'm sure the picks will slow down a little next round when there's sure to be more deliberation for each of us.

I don't know who to pick next round . The Lakers have only had less than 400 people play for them all-time, so this could be interesting in round 10 .

Quick question. Can I pick Kareem from a different season or is he off the board?

[LAKERS_1981]

Know things get hard.
Picks from 1-7 were given. Magic, West, Baylor, Wilt,Jabbar, Shaq and Kobe. Those are all superstars not just allstars.
