Waited for this bro!! Letโs Goo๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Great picks Dan thanks for researching.
Dan my brother hope all is well on your end. Godspeed recovery on that hand. Im in love with the wallace kidd!!.. Great size..Good at reading offensive schemes..Has really good anticipation on&off ball those things cannot be taught..He's exatly what the Dr ordered!! Him, AR, Vando…CRUCIAL. Murray would have a problem on his hands for sure! Adding him to the number 1 defense this playoff run an a top 5 defense reg season….๐. Gotta have him. ๐๐ค๐ค๐
W video
Itโs gonna be some left field pick that weโre not expecting like Jaime Jacquez or something wild that they see a plan to develop and use not saying itโll be him but I wouldnโt surprised if someone suppose to go late get picked by us at 17
Keep the pick! Only trade it for Trae or Kyrie. Start jelling with some young guns Lebron! Or opt out next season and sign for 20 mill/year, if you really want the third star. The hard salary cap is going to make it brutal to ever get together 3 max players.
hawkins got my eye fr i think he would be great
I wish one of the Thompson's brother would fall to #17 but ik its highly unlikely but the pick is still very valuable if we can make a trade to get intot the top 10 tho that would be good if we could get a like good player or just keep the pick and get a good steal since were really good at finding hidden gems I wouldnt mind any of these 5 players you mentioned in this video!
Dan you should do a video like this for our second round pick.
I can't even decide who I want for 17. Lot of good players that will probably be available and some suprising names could slip. As long as it's either one of Howard, Hawkins, Wallace, Leonard Miller, GG Jackson, Kris Murray, Bufkin, Lively or Jalen Hood im going to be happy. I hope we keep the pick and don't trade it
Love all these picks Cason would be a dream imo I also like Nick smith jr a lot too been a fan of his for a while injuries played a part his potential fall but heโs great
We need to draft a white boy, they seem to be the best late picks
Wallace or lively would be fire I love defensive minded rookies ๐ฅ
Nah this top 5 is the one!!
Lively and Hawkins at the top of mine. I was kinda bummed since I thought you didn't have Lively cause of the thumbnail. It shows Bilal Coulibaly, Wembys teammate, who has great upside too. But suprinsingly you had Lively. And damn if Cason falls down the board….I'm not opposed to Lakers stealing him. Bufkin and Jett too.
Leonard Miller and Kobe bufkin are my favorite players in the draft also Did you hear Maxwell Lewis had a good workout with the lakers
Thatโs impressive defense from cason wallace he has a lot of jrue holiday the way he defends Iโm not big on drafting rookie centers they seem to always not have the best rookie seasons we can draft someone who will probably help more right away
I think the lakers should probably play more max Christie next year instead of Troy brown and Malik Beasley he already showed a lot of good things but wouldnโt mind having brown back for depth
Neither jordan hawkins or leonard miller. If jordan hawkins is available in 17th pick if im the lakers i'll get him and i sign and trade malik beasley for some big or wing.
Dan why donโt you use a mic in your live videos??? Sounds great
Can't draft a guy named Kobe in Los Angeles. It wouldn't be fair to him. Probably worst case scenario for the kid.
Derek lively probably will fall to the 2nd round. Eventho his impressive 2.4 block shot but his college stats was awful. He basically avg. 5 pts 5 reb and 60% ft shooter and awful 3 pt shooter at just 15%. Yes i've seen his workout with klutch the other day but if im the lakers i won't be picking him with the 17th pick just because he's a raw talent and in dire need of a team that can develop him and the lakers is not ideal for him.
I don't consider Hawkins a sleeper pick-he's waaay too good! My sleeper pick is Colin Castleton. If they are both available, the Lakers need to pick both!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-6zM6OUR1Q
You forgot to mention Brandin Podziemski for us
Jordan Hawkins
Kobe Bufkin
Max Lewis
whatโs the news on pippen jr is he still gonna be on the lakers ! and howโs shaq son doing in the g league ??
Going into the draft every year, we tend to like everybody. LOL! We make a case for everyone to translate to the NBA, and the truth is very few will translate into the NBA. It's such a crap shoot even if you have a lotto pick. Otherwise, guys like Austin Reaves wouldn't go undrafted. It's such an un-exact science. Lakers have done very well with the draft. I hope the streak continues.
Derek Lively all day everyday ๐๐
Lakers plz dont draft no more gaurds we need big men who really have post game rebounding and shot blocking
Wallace won't make it to 17.
like the Wallace kid. and kobi ..(all good draft options)..
I go for Lively if no available center in Free Agency.
Yeah. Whatever happened to Kuzma? Maybe we should put out an AMBER alert for him. Haven't heard from him in a long time.
Lively would be perfect next to A.D. but he will be gone in the top 10 picks. Who would be the next best center next to A.D. ??
What the Lakers really need if they are keeping Anthony Davis they need a center Lakers have one more year to pull this together if u can trade that pick with someone and get a great center why not
I'm biased because I'm from CT and a UConn fan but I want the Lakers to choose Hawkins. LAL needs Shooters and that's what he does.
Dude good video but edit the audio
Shooters for sure. Keyonte George or Jordan Hawkins. Or Murray
Did he just say Jett Howardโs dad is Juwan howard and then say โyou can tell the Apple didnโt fall far from the treeโ and right after talk about Jett howards 3 pt shot?๐ I get what he means but Juwan Howard and 3pters shouldnโt be mentioned anywhere near the same sentence, all jokes aside Jett Howard is gonna be solid tho, I think heโs a steal for whoever gets him nothing about him screams superstar or star but a good quality starter 3&D wing definitely
Thatโs not a bad list at all, but in my opinion, my top 5 or personal favorites are and this is who I want the Lakers to draft with the 17th pick in no particular order.
1. Derek Lively II- C, Duke
2. Rayan Rupert- SG/SF, France
3. Cason Wallace- PG, Kentucky
4. Jordan Hawkins- SG UCONN
5. Bobi Klintman- PF/C, Wake Forest (He basically can be our Lamar Odom for the Lakers)
Jordan Hawkins, don't waste pick on a center, unless it's Wembayana, you can get that, in free agency
They should keep same squad . Trade pick and get a big center to help AD on defense. They gonna be at least 2 seed for playoffs next year .
I say at #17 Anthony Black
and at #47 Dereck lively ll
these two would make good fits for the Lakers system ๐ค
Two honorable mention DeAndre Williams and Tucker DeVries.
๐ค they should be considered.
Can we consider Jordan Hawkins to be our athletic Buddy Hield?
I'm torn between Jett Howard or Jordan Hawkins, I think size wise, Jett is a better fit.
