  1. JHS will be a great addition for the lakers with 6'6 Height in PG Position..He can matchup with Murray and JHS also has a wide body & can create his own shots and facilitate the offense..

  2. I heard on another Laker website that the Lakers are keeping JHS because of he’s a big point guard that can thrives in the pick and roll and also can defend both guard positions 😂

  3. If he lives to his potential he can be a baby Deron Williams smooth mid range and big strong guard good playmaker and passer .. if the lakers keep these picks your talking about Hood Schifino, Reeves and Max Christie .. that’s a solid guard rotation .. with that 40th pick get a wing maybe that Lewis kid from local Pepperdine .. 3 and d and lot of potential was projected 1st round or if not Jordan Walsh will be a 10 year plus nba player

  4. Once this kid gets in an NBA weight room, the Lakers will have a 6' 6" 225-pound point guard that can score, pass and defend.

  5. Lakers had 3 on the ball decision-makers on the 1st Unit alone already:
    D'Angelo Russell
    Lebron James
    Austin Reaves

  6. Who's this kid gonna' be the next…. Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Russell Westbrook? No pressure then. At least he'll have time and space to mature-ize, in the xxl fishbowl of L.A and the interwebs!
