2017 Lakers Draft Pick Discussion

[Slava]

Jackson's agent is pulling a lot of favors.

[No name]

Paul George would be the fifth best player on the Warriors. He isn't helping us battle them any more than Mickey Mouse would.

I get the point you are making but come on. Curry and Durant are better. PG is a do it all, 'the man', star. Klay requires a feed. He has historically high non dribble spot up shots. Green is an effort guy. They are very good role players.

[Kilroy]

I could maybe understand a team or 2 falling in love with jackson, but a bunch of teams trying to trade for a chance to draft him just seems far fetched... And the Celtics already moved down supposedly to get him until he still refused to work out for them.
It just doesn't make any sense.

To me sounds like Ainge trying to trade down yet again and wants teams upping their offers due to perceived competition for the pick

Could be it, Jackson refused to work out for Boston.

I wouldnt be surprised if Ainge tries shopping the 3rd pick to the Kings for the 10th pick and a future unprotected 1st

I'm laughing at how big an idiot Danny Ainge is. The guy he traded down for refuses to workout for him because of the positional glut. So he'll end up reaching for Tatum and have the same problem with too many players at that position lol. All this dealing when he could have just taken Fultz.

I'm laughing more at the amount of teams that supposedly want a player that can't shoot.

Hi Lakers fans! I have a new project on YouTube and I have my Mock Draft in there with some analysis. Would love it if you checked it out

PG is great, but Draymond is so much better it's not even funny.

Ok, now I don't think you've watched either player... Green is a great role player on a great team. PG is a individual star.

PG may not be as good as say a KD, or a Westbrook, but he's clearly better than Draymond Green.

[Mirjalovic]

Paul George clearly 3rd best player on the Warriors. He's basically Klay Thompson with isolation skill. (not necessarily the same style)/

If you think PG is better than Draymond, you don't understand basketball. I don't know how else to put it. Dude's the most versatile player in the league, arguably the best defender in the league, one of the best passers in the league, one of the best rebounders at his size that I've ever seen, a great finisher, and a decent 3-point shooter that's best used at center. You may not understand all of this just by watching him, but I'd take him over PG 100 times out of 100.

We're getting off-topic though. Any team that Magic/Pelinka could put together, even stretching the bounds of reality a bit, would get swept by the Warriors for the next 5+ years.

[Michael Lucky]

I'd much rather have Draymond as well. Far better defender, especially with PG completely regressing on that side of the ball. Better playmaker and better rebounder as well. Oh and he's probably only second to Lebron in terms of versatility.

In case we trade down to pick Fox

[Mirjalovic]

but D'Angelo Russell is the better player and Lonzo is a much better prospect than Fox. I can't hate enough this move if its happen.

i'd like to see how they came up with that. Those two are completely different players.

Glad I saw the name Knight in there, that's his comp for reasons I've already stated.
